Because people want to take advantage of the innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, the capital city continues to be a magnet for business, specifically high tech and small business startups.

S I L I C O N H I L L SIn addition to spurring the development that has so greatly expanded this major center for high tech, a proliferation of technology companies gave rise to the region’s nickname: “the Silicon Hills”. High tech industries in the area include enterprise software, semiconductors, corporate R&D, biotechnology, gaming and a variety of startup companies. Meanwhile, companies with operations in the Silicon Hills include 3M, Silicon Labs, Advanced Micro Devices, Apple, Dropbox, eBay, PayPal, Google, Qualcomm, Oracle, Electronic Arts and Samsung Group. Upon accepting a $1.4 million grant to build a downtown office, Facebook arrived in the capital city in 2010. Austin’s Facebook office kept a relatively low profile until 2016 when the company filed building permits to expand its downtown office.

With thousands of graduates each year from the engineering and computer science programs at the University of Texas at Austin, Austin has a steady source of employees that are stimulating the technology and defense industry sectors. UT Austin brings an estimated $60 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health to the city. When added to the recent opening of its new Dell Medical School in mid-2016, which promises to bring even more intellectual property, lab space and grant money, it’s apparent that Austin has all the makings to become the country’s next big biotech hub.

Arguably the most beautiful area in Texas, the Texas Hill Country is a 25-county region of Central and South Texas that extends from just north of Austin down south to San Antonio. Central to Texas, the Hill Country is considered the heart and soul of the state. With over 14,000 square miles of hills, lakes, live oak trees and winding roads, this region attracts millions of people each year, be it for a weekend getaway or a vacation.

Located deep in the heart of this uniquely charming area, the countryside is reminiscent of the wine growing regions of central Italy and the Rhone Valley in France. An array of visually stunning vineyards and wineries are scattered throughout the Hill Country, from downtown Austin to Fredericksburg and Lampasas to New Braunfels. Given that it is one of the fastest growing wine-producing regions in the country, the Hill Country has emerged as one of the top wine destinations in the world, drawing more than five million visitors each year to the Texas Hill Country Wineries.

Small-town charm and a convenient Texas location are just a few things that distinguish one of Austin’s fastest growing suburbs, Hutto, Texas, from neighboring suburbs. Proximity to Austin and Round Rock offers residents access to a multitude of entertainment and recreational opportunities; The Hutto community is a half hour drive northeast of downtown Austin and fifteen minutes east of Round Rock.

Named the fastest growing community in Texas by the Texas State Data Center, the Hutto has experienced a population surge of 1500% for the last two decades. This exponential growth is largely attributed to the availability of quality, affordable housing, moderate taxes, low crime and easy access to the Austin region and state.

Expansion along Austin’s northeastern corridor throughout the past decade has transformed Hutto from a rural Texas farm town into a booming community. Hutto’s remarkable population increase has left the city with a rapidly growing workforce, leaving the city with a large young professional population. These circumstances have been a primary driving force for the city’s focus on improving and extending utility infrastructure capacity, creating local employment opportunities, and increasing the amount of available housing.

Old Town, Hutto’s downtown area, comprised the original boundaries for the city and has recently undergone restoration. Today, it is home to many local businesses, shops and restaurants that are bustling with local patrons and visitors. To encourage development within Old Town, the Hutto City Council approved the Downtown Incentive Program meant to target new businesses locating into the area and for new construction.

Hutto is in a tremendous position to grow its commercial and industrial base and become a key logistics center in the central Texas region; Its benefits from real estate assets, logistics and ample access to water are unrivaled by other communities as they are largely unavailable elsewhere in the Greater Austin Area.

As one of the leading industry employers in Hutto, manufacturing is nearly twice as concentrated in the local economy relative to the national average. The city’s experience parceling land to lure Tesla has resulted in the assembly of the best mega site in the Austin metropolitan region; This premier mega site is readily available for logistics facilities. An abundance of available land, which includes other significant parcels suitable for development, is further complimented by exemplary infrastructure.

SH-130 is the largest highway contract in the history of Texas at $3.6 billion and includes the extension of Mopac and Toll Road 45. The completion of SH-130, which Hutto has direct access to, complimented by the city’s existing rail network, comprises some of the best transportation infrastructure in the region.

Hutto’s location on SH-130 and US Route 79 provides easy distribution access to both Interstate 35 and 10, which will put the community in a competitive position for Logistics Centers as Central Texas’ rapidly growing populations increase demand for products. With available real estate, rail served sites and direct interstate access, Hutto is an ideal location in the greater Austin area for logistics centers.

Information About Brokerage ServicesTexas law requires all real estate license holders to give the following informaƟon about

brokerage services to prospecƟve buyers, tenants, sellers and landlords.

TYPES OF REAL ESTATE LICENSE HOLDERS: .• A BROKER is responsible for all brokerage acƟviƟes, including acts performed by sales agents sponsored by the broker. • A SALES AGENT must be sponsored by a broker and works with clients on behalf of the broker.

A BROKER’S MINIMUM DUTIES REQUIRED BY LAW (A client is the person or party that the broker represents): • Put the interests of the client above all others, including the broker’s own interests; • Inform the client of any material informaƟon about the property or transacƟon received by the broker; • Answer the client’s quesƟons and present any offer to or counter-offer from the client; and • Treat all parƟes to a real estate transacƟon honestly and fairly.

A LICENSE HOLDER CAN REPRESENT A PARTY IN A REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION:

AS AGENT FOR OWNER (SELLER/LANDLORD): The broker becomes the property owner's agent through an agreement with the owner, usually in a wriƩen lisƟng to sell or property management agreement. An owner's agent must perform the broker’s minimum duƟes above and must inform the owner of any material informaƟon about the property or transacƟon known by the agent, including informaƟon disclosed to the agent or subagent by the buyer or buyer’s agent.

AS AGENT FOR BUYER/TENANT: The broker becomes the buyer/tenant's agent by agreeing to represent the buyer, usually through a wriƩen representaƟon agreement. A buyer's agent must perform the broker’s minimum duƟes above and must inform the buyer of any material informaƟon about the property or transacƟon known by the agent, including informaƟon disclosed to the agent by the seller or seller’s agent.

AS AGENT FOR BOTH - INTERMEDIARY: To act as an intermediary between the parƟes the broker must first obtain the wriƩen agreement of each party to the transacƟon. The wriƩen agreement must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker's obligaƟons as an intermediary. A broker who acts as an intermediary:

• Must treat all parƟes to the transacƟon imparƟally and fairly; • May, with the parƟes' wriƩen consent, appoint a different license holder associated with the broker to each party (owner and

buyer) to communicate with, provide opinions and advice to, and carry out the instrucƟons of each party to the transacƟon. • Must not, unless specifically authorized in wriƟng to do so by the party, disclose:

ᴑ that the owner will accept a price less than the wriƩen asking price; ᴑ that the buyer/tenant will pay a price greater than the price submiƩed in a wriƩen offer; and ᴑ any confidenƟal informaƟon or any other informaƟon that a party specifically instructs the broker in wriƟng not to

disclose, unless required to do so by law.

AS SUBAGENT: A license holder acts as a subagent when aiding a buyer in a transacƟon without an agreement to represent the buyer. A subagent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first.

TO AVOID DISPUTES, ALL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND A BROKER SHOULD BE IN WRITING AND CLEARLY ESTABLISH: • The broker’s duƟes and responsibiliƟes to you, and your obligaƟons under the representaƟon agreement. • Who will pay the broker for services provided to you, when payment will be made and how the payment will be calculated.

LICENSE HOLDER CONTACT INFORMATION: This noƟce is being provided for informaƟon purposes. It does not create an obligaƟon for you to use the broker’s services. Please acknowledge receipt of this noƟce below and retain a copy for your records.
