Jody Lockshin-Plotkin
Celebrating 20 years at the helm of Habitat
Hunters, Jody Lockshin-Plotkin (BBA 83) has come a long way—from
resourceful college graduate to well-established business
owner. When she bought the business fresh out of college she
was on her own with a client list and a few pieces of office
furniture that came with the deal.
Now with 20 agents, Habitat Hunters enjoys local
name recognition and loyalty and the autonomy that comes with
being one of the few independently-owned real estate companies
left in Austin. "Our independence gives us flexibility.
We can do everything the national companies do, but better
and more personally," says Jody. "Additionally,
we're one of the few, if not only, real estate company with
an on-staff attorney and CPA who's an invaluable resource
to our clients."
The company maintains a reputation for professionalism,
efficiency, and quality service. "My business degree
gave me the building blocks necessary to visualize the opportunity
afforded me to purchase, operate and expand my business,"
she says. "It also taught me about embracing technology."
Habitat Hunters was one of the first companies in Austin with
a fax, cell phones, e-mail, and a web page.
Jody finds matching clients with properties
is more like a puzzle than a job. "Each property gets
a different response from each person who sees it," she
says. "My work is totally and constantly stimulating."
