I’m James Lucas, a full-time real estate advisor and Northwest Hills resident, focused on helping clients buy and sell homes right here in Northwest Hills, Austin, Texas. This is more than just where I work—it’s where I live, raise my family, and advocate for my neighbors. If you're thinking about buying or selling in Northwest Hills, you deserve more than a generalist. You need someone who understands how pricing can change from street to street—and how to position your home to stand out in this specific market. As the #1 Real Estate Agent in Northwest Hills, that’s where I come in. I focus all my experience on a single goal—helping Northwest Hills homeowners navigate this market with clarity and confidence. I’ve developed a three-part listing strategy that goes far beyond what most agents offer. It starts with targeted pre-marketing to qualified buyers, includes a private off-market phase to test pricing and generate interest, and ends with a full MLS launch that maximizes exposure. Not every home in Northwest Hills is listed publicly—and some of the best ones sell quietly, off-market. I maintain an active network of qualified buyers looking specifically in this neighborhood and use a data-backed outreach system to match them with potential sellers. This off-market approach helps clients sell with more control, less hassle, and better outcomes—often without ever going live onto the market. I also invest heavily in marketing that actually reaches buyers. That includes cinematic video tours, targeted YouTube ads, SEO-driven content, and a strong presence across Instagram and Facebook. These aren’t just vanity metrics—they generate real leads and have directly helped my listings sell faster and for more money. In fact, many of my buyers first discover Northwest Hills homes through my YouTube channel or social media. If you’re considering a move, or just want honest insight into your options, let’s talk. I’ll give you a clear strategy, backed by real data and local expertise—let's have a quick chat.
