About John Watts
Originally from Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, I moved to Austin in 1993. My professional career included 34 years in software development and consulting within the Property and Casualty Insurance Industry. I received Chartered Property Casualty Designation Underwriter (CPCU). In my career I found it enjoyable and interesting working with and helping people. Due to workforce downsizing within technology, I chose the Real Estate profession to continue my career. I bring to real estate a vast amount of experience of consulting with people to satisfy their personal needs. As a real estate professional with more than 22 years of experience, I provide a high level of attention to detail so my clients are relieved of stress and provide them a smooth home transaction experience.
My Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a Austin real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach, and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Austin areas.
