How Luke Helps Apple Employees Buy in Austin

Luke Allen (TREC #788149) works with Apple Austin employees regularly. The relocation-to-Austin conversation with any tech employee is different from a generic buyer conversation:

• Real commute analysis to your specific Apple building, not a "downtown" or "north Austin" generic answer.
• Neighborhood shortlist that fits your specific team (some Apple teams cluster in the same neighborhoods; others do not).
• Budget-realistic buyer targeting based on your comp band, not aspirational listings you cannot actually close on.
• Timeline coordination with your start date so closing lines up with your first week on the job, not two months after.
• Relocation package coordination if Apple is covering closing costs or providing a moving allowance.
