In today’s high-interest rate environment and our region’s limited inventory, moving might not be in the budget for all Central Texas homeowners. Families need more space, and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are becoming a more common, more affordable solution.
This two-part interactive session is designed for real estate agents who want a clear, realistic understanding of the feasibility, benefits, and risks of adding an ADU to an existing property.
You’ll leave with a practical framework you can use to help guide clients in listing appointments, buyer consultations, and investor strategy sessions—more certainty with fewer surprises.
