View this email in your browser Dear George Vance,   The Butler Trail needs you.   Did you know that since 2010, the Austin metro area has more than doubled its population?

Homes that would  seem  to fit the bill, at least in terms of size and amenities, are often now listed at wildly prohibitive price points, even in a time marked by record-low mortgage rates. It has ushered in an era of high stress and unprecedented challenge for first-time buyers, eager to jump into their initial real estate purchase. Even those who have done everything they were “supposed to do” (like getting a college degree and a steady-paying job, working on their credit scores, and saving up e
