AUSTIN, TX, July, 2026 — KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has recognized Kathy Sokolic, co-founder of Mueller Residential Group (powered by Realty Austin | Compass), as a KeyCrew Verified Expert in recognition of her expertise in the Mueller neighborhood and the greater Central Austin real estate market.
KeyCrew Verified Experts are recognized for their demonstrated expertise, industry leadership, and ability to provide valuable insight within their fields. This recognition highlights professionals whose experience and market knowledge help inform conversations across the real estate industry.
Sokolic brings a unique perspective to the Mueller market, having been a resident and participated extensively in neighborhood organization activities since its inception. Alongside her business partner, Sokolic has built Mueller Residential Group into a trusted resource for buyers and sellers, backed by more than 20 years of combined real estate experience. She is deeply involved in the Mueller community, participating in neighborhood commissions and local housing policy discussions, and has been featured in outlets including East Side Magazine’s AXD Experts series.
Sokolic’s approach is defined by deliberate geographic focus. Rather than spreading her expertise thin across the Austin metro, she has concentrated on building deep authority in Mueller — a master-planned, walkable community — while extending that expertise outward to serve buyers and sellers across Central Austin, including relocators and out-of-state buyers drawn to the neighborhood’s walkability, integrated affordable housing program, and strong sense of community.
“Mueller is a neighborhood you have to understand from the inside to really serve well,” said Kathy Sokolic. “We’ve built our business around knowing this community block by block — the history, the housing, the people — and that’s what lets us guide buyers and sellers with real confidence, whether they’re across town or across the country.”
Sokolic’s Areas of Expertise Include:
Mueller Neighborhood Market Expertise — Deep, hyperlocal knowledge of Mueller’s master-planned community, from new development history to resale trends. Central Austin Real Estate for Relocators — Guidance for out-of-state buyers and relocators navigating Central Austin’s neighborhoods and price points. Hyperlocal Market Reporting — Regular, data-backed market updates tracking pricing, inventory, and demand trends specific to Mueller and Central Austin. Master-Planned Community & Affordable Housing Knowledge — Firsthand understanding of Mueller’s integrated affordable housing program and its long-term impact on the community. First-Time Buyer and Downsizer Guidance — Tailored advice for first-time buyers entering the market and downsizers seeking a walkable, community-oriented lifestyle.
