If you’re searching for a Great Hills buyers agent, you’re already thinking like someone who knows this part of Austin rewards preparation. Great Hills isn’t a cookie-cutter neighborhood — it’s an established, older community with real variation in home condition and lot topography, and that means you want an agent who understands the difference before you write an offer. I’m Robbie English, REALTOR, Broker at Uncommon Realty, and I’ve spent years working buyers through this specific neighborhood.
TLDR: Robbie English Is Your Preferred Great Hills Buyers Agent

- Property management is available through Uncommon Rentals by Uncommon Realty if you later decide to rent instead of sell
Great Hills, an established neighborhood
Great Hills sits in the 78759 zip code, just northwest of the Loop 360 and Highway 183 interchange, about 11 miles from downtown Austin. Bull Creek and the Bull Creek Greenbelt run through part of it, and Great Hills Golf and Country Club sits inside the neighborhood. You’re about a mile from the Arboretum, with the Domain a short drive further, so shopping and dining stay close without downtown traffic.
Most homes were built in the 1980s and early 1990s, many in ranch style with real Texas limestone exteriors. That means when you tour here, pay attention to more than layout and finishes — roof age, whether HVAC and plumbing have been replaced, and how each lot handles drainage matter as much as the kitchen countertops.
Why this neighborhood calls for a specialist
Because the housing stock spans multiple decades of updates and originals, a listing photo alone won’t tell you what you’re actually buying. I look past staging to structure. I ask what’s original and what’s been replaced, and I get answers before we write an offer, not after inspection surprises us.
Negotiation here often comes down to what an inspection turns up on an older home — repair credits, price adjustments, or walking away. I prepare buyers for those conversations ahead of time so nothing catches you off guard.

What working with me looks like
I’ve spent decades in this business, and I’m also a national real estate speaker and instructor, teaching agents across the country the fundamentals of negotiation and strategy. That educational background benefits you directly — you don’t just get guidance, you get an explanation of why a decision matters and how it affects your outcome.
I identify your priorities early, structure showings around them, and coach you on how to write a competitive offer when the right home shows up. The Uncommon Realty team supports that process end to end.

Reading homes beyond the listing
No two houses in Great Hills speak the same language. Some are original and untouched since the 80s. Others have been fully renovated. I teach you to evaluate what actually supports how you’ll live day to day — storage, light through the seasons, sound and privacy between rooms — not just bedroom count.
Why choose me
I built my reputation the hard way, through transactions that closed cleanly and clients who came back. As a broker, I handle your transaction personally, and as a national instructor for other agents, I stay sharp on what actually works in negotiation, not just what sounds good.
Support after closing
Your relationship with me doesn’t end at the closing table. If you later decide to turn a Great Hills home into a rental, Uncommon Rentals by Uncommon Realty is ready to help with that too.
