Most buyers and sellers hire one agent.

One agent with one skill set. One perspective. One network.

The Council is something different.

Three Specialists. One Transaction.

Natasha Antonioni — Design Strategy + Elevated Marketing

Natasha brings a lens that no traditional agent can offer: she's a designer first, a realtor second.

Her Intentional Design methodology — which she is publishing as a book — changes how buyers see homes and how sellers position them. She knows where $10,000 in targeted renovations creates $80,000 in perceived value. She knows how photography, staging, and story can transform how the market responds to a listing.

She's also a prolific community voice — active on Instagram at @natasha_antonioni, documenting real transformations in Westlake and Cuernavaca that build genuine trust with buyers before they ever reach out.

Holly McCormick — 20+ Years Local Knowledge + Expert Negotiation

Holly has been in this community for over two decades. She doesn't just know the market — she knows the streets, the neighbors, the school zone boundaries, the flood history, and the off-market inventory that never reaches public listing sites.

In negotiation, Holly is one of the most experienced voices in the Eanes ISD market. She has represented buyers who lost homes before they came to The Council — and won them back through strategy, relationship, and timing.

Albina Rippy — Financial Intelligence + Investment Strategy

Albina evaluates every transaction the way an investor would. She's not asking "Is this a nice home?" She's asking "Is this a sound decision?"

Her financial modeling — comparing appreciation, carrying costs, renovation risk, and market timing — gives clients a clarity about their decisions that most real estate transactions never provide.

80+ Homes Sold in Eanes ISD

The Council's track record in Westlake, Cuernavaca, and the Eanes ISD area isn't just a number. It's a body of knowledge — about what buyers want, what sellers need, and what the market will bear — that makes every subsequent transaction sharper.

Why Have One Realtor When You Can Have The Council?

That's not a slogan. It's an honest question.

In a market as competitive, nuanced, and high-stakes as Westlake luxury real estate, the depth of the team you work with directly affects your outcome.

The Council gives you all three strengths — in every transaction, from day one.
