Tessa is a true Austinite, which means she knows the city in a way that feels natural and rooted. She has watched neighborhoods grow, new creative corners emerge, and local businesses flourish, all while Austin has stayed grounded in its sense of community, connection, and character. That familiarity helps her connect clients and teammates to the places, people, and local businesses that make Austin feel like home.

After graduating from the University of Texas with a degree in Communication Studies and a minor in Business, Tessa was drawn to real estate through her love of interior design, architecture, and thoughtful service. The work moves at a pace that suits her strengths: detail-oriented, organized, and always ready to find solutions that help everything move smoothly.

At Heyday, Tessa supports both our clients and team with intention and care. As part of her role alongside Principal Agent Meredith Alderson, she’s a key point of contact throughout the buying and selling process - helping clients stay informed, supported, and confident every step of the way. She anticipates what’s needed before it’s asked, keeps projects running with clarity and calm, and brings a thoughtful, people-first approach to every interaction. Clients trust her, and teammates rely on her. She is steady, warm, and truly invested in creating an experience that feels seamless.

Tessa lives in Rosedale with her husband and their dog, Ralphie. She loves walks to brunch, pilates, interior design, and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops. She also stays connected to Austin’s creative scene, whether that’s browsing local art markets, supporting neighborhood shops, or playing sand volleyball with friends on the weekends. She is always discovering what’s new while celebrating what has been here all along.

For Tessa, Austin is about community, creativity, and connection. And she brings that same spirit to her work every day.
