Habitat Hunters was created in 1972, at a time when 51 St. was Austin's northern boundary, and Austin City Limits was still two years away from its pilot episode with Willie Nelson.
Jody Lockshin, CRS, GRI,
joined Habitat Hunters in 1979, when she came to Austin to study Marketing at the University of Texas. Upon graduating in 1983, she purchased the company, and has owned it now for almost 25 years.
Starting out of a single office, Habitat Hunters moved to a small house on West 30th
St. in 1985, and has been in the same location ever
since. In the past 22 years, Habitat Hunters has grown to include 18 agents and 5 assistants, including among them Jody’s husband, Jeff Plotkin, JD, CPA, a fully licensed attorney, CPA, and Realtorฎ, who joined the company in 1993. Habitat Hunters is one of only a handful of real estate offices with an on-staff attorney/CPA/Realtorฎ, to offer advice on legal and tax concerns.
As Habitat Hunters grew, so did the number and quality of the services we provide. Not only do we handle the purchase, sale, and leasing of residential properties such as houses, duplexes, condos, and apartments, but we also handle commercial properties, including office, retail, multifamily lots, restaurants, and warehouse space. In addition, we offer consulting services covering almost any real estate concern, from market analysis to investing strategies to expert witnessing.
Most of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals, which is evidence of our unbridled commitment to excellence. After 35 years in business and over 20 years with the same owner and the same location, Habitat Hunters offers a stability and dependability that is unmatched by any other company in Austin.
