Since 1984 Camille Abbott has built her real estate business giving back to the community in which she lives as well as to the clients she serves. Many are repeat customers because they know they can count on Camille for the real estate knowledge needed to help them achieve their real estate goals whether they are a buyer or seller. A great number of those people are referrals from clients who know and trust her. They entrust a dear friend or family member or co-worker to her knowing that she will do what it takes to achieve their real estate goals. Camille takes those referrals very seriously and prides herself on meeting the clients' expectations and more.
Whether dealing with CEOs of companies, powerful attorneys, entertainers, or friends and family, luxury real estate or investment property, Camille knows that a real estate transaction is emotional and stressful. She relieves that stress and takes the steps to make the purchase or sale happen. Camille is the party in the transaction who helps her client make sound, educated, decisions based on reliable information and experience, and that keeps her clients not only coming back but sending others. In short, she is a problem solver and a skilled listener. She takes great pride in knowing that she has served her client well. To Camille, being a Realtor is more than just a sign in the yard and having access to the MLS. It is being a trusted advisor.
Fueled by tremendous support from her family and friends, she left a career in theatre arts education at the secondary school level and built a successful real estate business working for the best firms in the city. She experienced Austin when it was a university town and state capital, and now she is proud to call the Live Music Capital of the World her home. Over the years, she has served The Paramount Theatre, Rodeo Austin, ZACH Theatre, Central Texas Girls Scouts as committee chair, board member, and volunteer. She is a graduate of Leadership Austin. It is her hope to leave a legacy for all Austinites. Camille is an advocate for animals who cannot speak for themselves through Austin Pets Alive and the ASPCA. She currently serves on the board of the American Cutting Horse Association. Camille is a respected Realtor in the city of Austin who is known for her enthusiasm, compassion, real estate knowledge and her positive energy. The belief that education is power has kept Camille continuing her education and has earned her numerous prestigious professional designations.
Though thinking she would always make her way to the Broadway stage and maybe even a Tony award, she now proudly says, "I am a Realtor." She is definitely not the same old song and dance.

Since the company's founding in 1972, starting with only 6 associates, it has grown to over 300 agents and staff members - but the culture of caring has never changed.
