[Meet the agents →](https://www.nopethemes.com/porchlight/agents?hsLang=en) ![The Calder & Main team at the South Congress office](https://www.nopethemes.com/hubfs/realestate-demo/team-1.jpg) - 2009 founded on South Congress - $1.2B in homes sold - 3 offices, open seven days - 101.6% of list price, 2025 average Our story ## Small enough to know your street. Big enough to sell it. We started as two agents who were tired of national brands pricing Austin homes from a spreadsheet. Fifteen years later we are eight agents and a closing coordinator, and the rule hasn't changed: you get an agent who lives nearby, and you keep them until the keys change hands. - Full-time agents only, no part-timers - Every agent lives in the area they sell - Staging, photos and 3D tours paid by us ![The front porch of the first home Calder & Main sold](https://www.nopethemes.com/hubfs/realestate-demo/property-2.jpg) Our history ## Fifteen years in Austin 1. 2009 2009 ### One desk on South Congress Megan Brooks sells the firm's first home, a bungalow in Travis Heights. 2. 2012 2012 ### Lauren and Jason join Listing and buyer specialists, both living in the neighborhoods they sell. 3. 2016 2016 ### The Westlake office opens Chris Walker starts the relocation team for families moving to Austin. 4. 2020 2020 ### $500M in homes sold And the first fully virtual closing, signed from three states. 5. 2023 2023 ### Mueller office and rentals Rachel Turner launches leasing; Kevin Hughes joins for new construction. 6. 2025 2025 ### $1.2B sold RealTrends 500 for the third year, with a 9-day median on market.
