Austin Market Realty

What Austin Market Realty does

Austin Market Realty is a privately held boutique real estate brokerage headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 2011 by Broker/Owner Allan Griego after relocating from a prior value-add real estate venture (Vertex Inc.) and a project management role at IDI. The firm operates with a team of 10 licensed agents — including Broker Associates, Realtors, and a Marketing Director — serving residential buyers, sellers, lessors, and property investors across the Austin metropolitan area. Its service portfolio spans four core lines: residential buying representation, residential selling representation with full marketing (professional photography, virtual tours, MLS syndication, social media), rental leasing, and a dedicated property management offering for investor clients covering lease logistics, rent collection, financial reporting, and tax documentation.

Underlying the business is a listing and search platform with a database of 10,000+ Austin-area properties, mortgage and valuation calculators, and syndication to 23+ external real estate websites. Differentiated offerings include an Off-Market Opportunities platform providing pre-MLS deal flow, a Custom New Builds program, and a dedicated property management service. The firm also runs an agent recruitment program supplying personalized agent websites, listing presentations, and marketing support.

The business model is primarily commission-based: standard residential brokerage commissions (typically 5–6% of sale price, split between buyer and seller sides) on closed transactions, supplemented by recurring property management fees on managed investor units and transaction fees on leasing placements. Specific commission rates and management pricing are not publicly disclosed and are negotiated per engagement. The company operates from a single Austin office at 2925 Centennial Olympic Park, serves 20+ Austin-area submarkets, and has no external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership.
