Jen Berbas
Accredited Buyer's Representative
Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist
Certified Negotiation Expert
Certified Pricing Strategy Advisor
Jen has been a proud Austinite since she came to Austin to attend UT, and after a few brief stints in Chicago and Minneapolis, she came back as soon she could. Now she lives in her favorite place on earth (except maybe a Greek Island) and feels so incredibly lucky to be here.
Jen’s background in finance, first as an options trader and then working in the credit markets, laid the groundwork for a career in real estate and informs much of her work. She has an affinity for Excel and an excellent grasp of the real estate market and investments. Don't be surprised if you're shopping for investment property and you receive a spreadsheet!
In 2000, Jen bought a home in Austin with an eye toward building a personal portfolio. In 2006 she received her real estate license, and in 2012 she made the jump to real estate full time. When Jen started to purchase, rehab, and invest in properties in Austin, she learned about common issues found in central Austin homes and how to solve them. She loves passing on this knowledge and working with people new to Austin; it gives her an opportunity to be a tour guide in her favorite city and show buyers the corners of town that will fit them best. For buyers coming to Austin from New York and Chicago, her time spent in these cities provides her with unique insight on urban condo living.
Jen’s experience as a three-time IRONMAN Triathlon finisher has shaped the kind of focus and discipline she brings to any project - she enjoys helping buyers focus on their long-term real estate and financial goals. When Jen is not geeking out on a spreadsheet, or some great 1940's house that just hit the market, she can usually be found at Radio Coffee, the pottery studio, running around Town Lake with her husband, or playing with her dogs and enjoying this amazing city we’re all so lucky to call home.

Rachel Carpenter
As one of the elusive born-in-Austin natives, Rachel has a unique perspective on Austin and how it has grown and changed. Rachel has been a licensed Realtor since 2006 -- not only seeing the growth in Austin and surrounding areas, but also playing a part in it by helping many people buy and sell homes along the way. Having lived in Austin her whole life, she is familiar with the myriad of neighborhoods big and small that make up the ATX -- which has proven to be a wonderful resource for her buying clients as they try to narrow down where they want to purchase a home.
Rachel truly enjoys being able to give her clients one-on-one attention while helping them through each step of the home buying/selling process. Past clients, friends, and family all know they can rely on her experience and knowledge in the real estate industry.

After graduating from Anderson High School, she worked her way through college and received a BS in Marketing/Management and an AS in Management from Park University.
Today, Rachel and her husband Mike are raising their son in the same neighborhood of Northwest Hills where she grew up -- and her son currently attends the same elementary school that she did. They love being able to give him some of the same experiences that Rachel had living here. Rachel is also an avid crafter, and donates many handmade scarves and hats to the Knitvah Project each year.

Angele Moyseos
A lifelong Texan, Angele has lived in Austin, off and on, for more than 30 years. A love of music, as well as a desire to continue her education, originally brought her to Austin. In the 90's she played a lead role in the city's music scene playing in various rock and roll bands. Angele saw first hand the transformation of Austin real estate, especially changes in the Warehouse and Downtown districts.
In 1997, she created a gourmet food manufacturing company. Taking advantage of a great idea and unique opportunity, Angele moved her business back to her hometown of Fort Worth. At 27 years old, her first project was a complete commercial rehab of a vintage 1920's storefront. It was there that she learned the ins and outs of dealing with City ordinances and permitting processes. After selling her business, Angele moved to New York City. She began investing in residential real estate as an income source. Angele still owns a stand-alone home in Long Island City/Astoria, Queens, an area she holds near to her heart in part to her Greek heritage.
After a career in Financial Services, she and her family relocated to Austin. It was in the search for their next home that she realized her love of real estate. She quickly completed her Associate's Degree in Real Estate and became licensed in 2009. After cutting her teeth on leases, she dove into the residential real estate market. In 2011, she received her Texas Real Estate Broker's license, a license held by less than 1% of Realtors because of the education, training, and experience required.
Angele's diverse experience and expertise bring a unique perspective to her professional relationships. She understands passion and opportunity across real estate transactions: from families looking for a new home to homeowners making a life change, as well as investment properties. She loves understanding her client's needs and hunting for the best transaction. It is her outside of the box thinking and creative approach that wins the deal time and time again.
Angele sees her real estate career as a gift and the most enjoyable career path she has ever taken. She lives with her young son (who loves coding, boxing and chess) in the Zilker neighborhood.
