About Ken

Twenty years in Austin. A builder at heart.

Ken Jackson has called the Austin area home for more than 20 years and has watched it grow, neighborhood by neighborhood. He knows the suburbs because he has lived in them: North Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown and Leander. He can tell you how the commute really runs, which builder communities negotiate, where school boundaries fall, and how a street feels on a weeknight, not just how it looks in the listing photos.

Before real estate, Ken spent 20 years in technology as a software engineer, entrepreneur and product leader. He still builds. Ken keeps his approach simple: prepare well, communicate clearly, give honest advice, and tell clients when a house is a bad idea.
