What a 1940s house actually costs to own
The roof, the pier-and-beam, the pecans. Real numbers from four of my clients.

Hi, I'm Jane Rivera
REALTOR® · Rivera Homes
Homes chosen carefully, for people who plan to stay.
Fifteen years in Central Austin. I take four clients at a time, so when you call, you get a real answer.
About Jane
Twelve years of Austin closings.
I grew up off South Congress and still live two streets from where I started.
I work with first-time buyers and the people selling them their first house.
Why work with me
I answer the phone
Evenings and weekends, the same as weekdays.
I know the streets
Which blocks flood, which ones get the school.
No surprises at closing
What people say
-
Jane talked us out of the first house we wanted. She was right. We have been in the second one for six years.
Marcus & Priya T.Bought in Bouldin, 2020

Sold in eleven days, four offers, and she explained every one of them to my mother on the phone.
Elena R.Sold in Travis Heights
-
She knows which streets flood. That is the whole review.

Your house, priced by someone who has walked it twice
Before I name a number I walk the house once with you and once alone. The second walk is where the price comes from.
What is my home worth?
How I work
Since 2009
Most agents measure themselves in closings. I measure in the number of clients who send me their friends. That means fewer listings at once, more time in each house, and the occasional honest don't buy this one.
- Four clients at a time, never more.
- I answer my own phone.
- Every offer comes with a written why.
Questions? Read the long version or book twenty minutes.
Where I work
- Zilker Walk to the springs; watch the flood map.
- Bouldin Creek Old bungalows next to new builds.
- Travis Heights Hills, oaks, no two houses alike.
- Tarrytown Quiet, expensive, worth it if the school matters.

Things I keep explaining
Why I only take four clients at a time
It is not a marketing line. It is arithmetic.
