Experienced agents with Texas roots and a polished relocation process. Hastings & Novak Estates helps buyers, sellers, and incoming families navigate Austin with local intelligence, sharp positioning, and zero generic advice.
Jason, a Texas native with a background in marketing and mortgages, brings local roots and a sharp, data-driven approach to every client decision. Henriett, originally from Budapest, brings creativity, global perspective, and the kind of relationship-first service that makes complex moves feel manageable.
Every move carries emotion, timing, and real-life stakes. The best measure of our work is how supported our clients feel through the process.
I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Jason and Henriett in the selling of our family home. Our family truly appreciated them both being receptive and understanding of our wishes and expectations, all while honestly guiding us through the process and ultimately making the best choices in selling our home. I cannot thank them enough for making such a huge transition for our family as smooth and comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend them to all family and friends when it comes to any real estate needs.
Jason and Heni went out of their way for us at every step of the home buying process. They worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home and advocated for us every step of the way. It can be an emotional process but they were always willing to take our calls, give us pep talks, and answer our many questions. We plan to buy more properties and have Jason and Heni represent us every time!
I had the best experience working with these two. They made me feel safe to ask any question I had, no matter how silly it was. I was so grateful for my experience. I definitely recommend them!
