August 2024 News

By August 1, 2024Newsletter
Dear friends,

Let’s get straight to it: While this summer has been refreshingly mild and wet – especially compared to last year’s brutal season – the heat is ON! Thankfully, the rainwater we’ve received in the Austin area and surrounding counties means we are experiencing less dire water restrictions, and plants like my beautiful Bird-of-Paradise pictured above are thriving. Let’s just say 2024 curb appeal is easier to maintain than in the summer of 2023!

While inspecting homes is both my business and passion, those of you who know me well know I believe summer life is best enjoyed from the pool with great music in the background. That’s why I am especially excited about the most recent episode of Under the Roof with Randy Barfield, featuring Austin realtor and musician, Will Dupuy! Since 2006, Will has been selling real estate, teaching music to kids and playing with the South Austin Jug Band. Be sure to check out our conversation – including an encore performance! – with Will wherever you get your podcasts.

In the live music capital of the world, you don’t have to look hard to find talented musicians. Finding a native Austinite who grew up learning to sing from his mother (a Grammy-nominated opera singer!), plays upright bass with the South Austin Jug Band, and has sold real estate across Texas since 2006…that’s a different story!

This week, Randy and Mary sit down with Will Dupuy to learn about the double life of a real estate agent and professional musician. Will shares how he uses YouTube to market his listings with song, his favorite types of properties, and weighs in on whether or not agents should attend the home inspection. Randy and Will talk tech, from sewer scopes and security cameras to Uber for Business, and Will breaks out his trusty guitar for a summer concert!
