What do Clients Say?

If I could give 10 stars I would! Alyse was amazing - she was always available to show a property when we asked, and did it joyfully. You can tell she loves what she does. She also knows her stuff. Any question, BOOM, she had an answer for us. In the rare cases she did not know, she got back to us same day. We felt so confident buying our condo in downtown Austin because she was REAL. No fluff, no BS - just honesty and wow did she work hard for us! And not only that, she followed up 9 months later to make sure we filed homestead. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t recommend Alyse and John at Heart of Austin Homes more highly. We’ve purchased multiple properties with them now, and from the very beginning—starting with our first investment—they’ve been an invaluable part of our real estate journey. Nothing better than having a fellow real estate investor on your side!

John and Alyse are fantastic realtors. They really listened to what we were looking for and worked with our complicated schedules to help us find the perfect home. They also are just really wonderful people and made us feel cared for every step of the way. We will definitely be using them again in the future if we ever decide to buy or sell property.

John and Alyse at Heart of Austin Homes were awesome to work with. I made a move fairly quicky from CA to TX and they helped me find and close on a house really quickly. They made the whole process feel easy and stress free. They’re both super nice, approachable, and genuinely helpful. They were always responsive and happy to answer questions or talk things through without any pressure. It honestly felt like working with people who truly had my back. I would absolutely recommend John and Alyse to anyone looking to buy in the Austin area.

About Alyse

Before I sold real estate, I toured the country as a musician — over a thousand shows. I learned to walk into any room, read the energy, and figure out what people actually needed.

Turns out? Real estate is shockingly similar.

I'm Alyse Black — Principal Broker and co-founder of Heart of Austin Homes, the independent boutique brokerage I built with my husband John in 2024. I've been licensed since 2016, and in that time I've helped 400+ buyers and sellers navigate one of the most competitive markets in the country. I hold nearly every major residential designation, because I take this work seriously.

I'm also the broker who reads every contract twice and explains it in plain English. Who calls you before you have to call me. Who genuinely cares — not just at closing, but long after.

I've raised my kids in this city. I've watched neighborhoods transform. I know Austin. And I know what it takes to find your place in it — or get top dollar when you're ready to let it go.

Most of my clients become lifelong friends. I hope you'll give me the chance to earn that.

ARTIST INFO:

People keep saying that Alyse Black’s music "sounds like falling in love." Like acceptance and sensuality and raw vulnerable humanness. With an aching, soul-touching voice, her award-winning songs inspire people to goosebumps and wrap them up in velvet.

"I truly just love people. I love the human spirit. I love being alive, even though it is so hard," she explains. "We exist in a world of tattered love and precious hope. We all feel so broken. I want to look into each soul I meet and say, "I love you. Exactly like you are.""

Alyse started out belting Billie Holiday tunes a cappella on the streets of Pike Place Market in Seattle for pocket change. Since then, she's performed on NPR, recorded a commercial for Target, moved to Austin, won Billboard's Annual Songwriting Contest, had several songs placed in movies and TV shows, garnered an endorsement deal with Fishman Amps, and toured the country playing over 1,000 clubs, theaters, festivals, television shows and radio stations. She recently won The Recording Conservatory of Austin’s Top Singer-Songwriter Contest and ran a successful Kickstarter to fund her long-awaited next album.

Alyse recorded that third full-length album with producer Eric Rosse (Sara Barielles, Mary Lambert, Tori Amos), drummer Matt Chamberlain (Fiona Apple, Sarah McLachlan, Dido), and bassist Mark Browne (Patty Griffin, Emmylou Harris, Jewel).
