ridget Ramey doesn’t just sell real estate; she sells the city of Austin and all that it has to offer! Bridget teams with the worldwide and luxury real estate company Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty. Bridget is highly qualified as an Austin specialist who is also broadly involved in the local community. Her work is “meaningful and fulfilling” in every way and she is proud to have a referral-based business. Bridget loves putting people, places and things together for the good of all, connecting and assisting clients in finding what they need to fulfill their lives in Austin, TX. Bridget specializes in central Austin and Lake Austin, she gets “jazzed” when she is challenged to find a dream home outside of these areas. Her love of research is one of the reasons Bridget got into real estate. Bridget is a small-town girl from Rockport and Aransas Pass, Texas. She loved growing up in the tight-knit community where there was always a sense of family. She has such an affection for her home town that she recently joined the Board of REALTORS® in Rockport and Port Aransas to be able to assist her clients, and spend time back in her roots. She says you can take the girl out of the small town but you can’t take the small town out of the girl. Bridget’s family-owned and operated funeral homes in the Coastal Bend area for over sixty-nine years. Growing up in a family funeral home business helped Bridget gain a thorough understanding of the importance of relationships and work ethic. Bridget has borrowed her family’s concierge approach to helping clients. “In the funeral home business, there is no time to shop around, people need someone to hold their hand,
walk them through the process and handle each and every detail. It needs to be a one-stop shop, with a concierge level of support. I believe the real estate business is much the same. I do the extra leg work, I make sure the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed, so my clients can deal with the emotions.” Bridget’s first introduction to Austin was through the doors of the University of Texas, and it was almost immediately that she knew Austin is where she would come to call home. She graduated summa cum laude with degrees in communications, public relations and journalism. After graduating, Bridget became involved in public relations and nonprofit work. Bridget’s personal home-buying experiences propelled her into real estate. She needed to find a new home quickly and became frustrated with her agent who wasn’t thinking “outside the box.” Bridget came to the realization that she needed to be in control of these milestone decisions in her life. Bridget’s love for learning, research, data and people launched her career in real estate. Her connections in her previous nonprofit career created a strong support system from the beginning. She began her real estate world at Coldwell Banker in Westlake, and the senior agents took her under their wing and taught her the fundamentals. She credits her dear friend and business partner, Ryan Rogers, for the many elements of the business he has helped her navigate. The next step of her career landed her at Austin Portfolio Real Estate, the luxury division of Keller Williams. She now calls Kuper Sotheby’s her business home and finds the company the perfect balance of having an international presence, but still a family-owned business. “I have an amazing support system at Kuper’s and feel blessed to be able to pick up the
