Alyse Black
Principal Broker
What would it feel like to have someone truly in your corner?
That's the question Alyse Black has been answering for buyers and sellers in Austin since 2016. As Principal Broker and co-founder of Heart of Austin Homes, she brings a rare combination of genuine care, hard-won expertise, and the kind of calm confidence that makes even the most complicated transaction feel manageable.
Before real estate, Alyse spent a decade as a touring and recording musician — over a thousand shows across the country. She learned to walk into any room, read the energy, and figure out what people actually needed. Turns out, that's most of what this job is.
What sets Alyse apart is what her clients notice most: she pays attention. The light in a room. The layout that works for how your family actually lives. The price that's right for this market — right now, not six months ago. And she stays in it with you — the exciting parts, the complicated parts, and everything in between.
She holds nearly every major residential designation available — CLHMS™, CRS, GRI, CNE, SRS, ABR, CIPS, PSA, RENE, SFR, C-RETS, and AHWD — because mastery matters, and she takes this work seriously. She has been recognized as a top producer in Austin and has closed transactions ranging from $150K condos to $6.5M estates. Every client gets the same thing: her full attention, her honest opinion, and a phone that always gets answered.
"Alyse is the best first choice to make — there are so many choices when buying or selling a home, and she is the one." — Kaylyn C.
"She has a genuinely kind and helpful spirit, and she looks out for your best interests every step of the way. Even after I completed my purchase, she was still helping me make sure everything went well." — Tim Z.
"Our house ended up selling at top dollar, thanks in no small part to Alyse's expertise and hard work. She was a total delight to work with." — Margaret U.
Alyse lives in Austin with her husband John and their three kids. She is active in the Rollingwood Women's Club, co-founded Young Hearts Foundation, and has never quite left the music scene she loves. She knows this city deeply — and she takes it personally when she helps someone find their place in it.
If you're ready to buy or sell in Austin, Alyse would be honored to be your person.
