Gene Arant, Realtor/Owner

Rooted in Austin, Rooted in Real Estate

Gene's Austin roots run deep- he moved to Austin at the age of 10 and has never left.    Gene met his wife Susan at one of his favorite lake spots, Windy Pointe on Lake Travis.  While in their early twenties the Arant's  bought their first home together and Gene's passion for Real Estate was ignited. He has been a real estate professional ever since.  After 7 years into his Real Estate career,  Gene had the honor of becoming a partial owner and one of 5 agents to open the Lake Travis Market Center of Keller Williams Realty.  Gene was and is part of a team that has helped grow this office exponentially over the years to an astounding 290+ agents.   Now, 18 years into his business, Gene is at the top of his game and is respected by many in and out of Real Estate.

Professionalism

That solid foundation people have looked upon Gene for, is frequently recognized by peers and other industry leaders.  The Austin Business Journal has honored Gene and his Team for his work in Real Estate by ranking him #1 in sales for 2010, #4 in sales for 2009, #4 in sales for 2008 and #2 in sales for 2007 for Austin, Texas.   Being a member of the 2010 Elite 25 is also a familiar place for Gene.  He had the honor of an invitation in 2009, as well as was a member in 2004.

Gene is in constant pursuit of education to improve his professional knowledge base, is very systems oriented and is a creative negotiator, allowing for his clients to relax during the real estate process. 

What’s important

Gene is a giver to all of those around him.  For his unflinching devotion to his profession, his wife and 3 young children, philanthropy, fitness, education, and of course to Austin, he seeks no reward.  And with that, he consistently sees a rewardingly high volume of repeat business.
