Real Estate, Straight Up is where we talk about what’s actually happening in the Central Texas real estate market — not the polished version you hear everywhere else.
Hosted by Kasey Jorgenson, founder of Jorgenson Real Estate in Round Rock, Texas, this podcast features real conversations with top-producing agents and industry professionals across Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, and surrounding areas.
We break down how deals are actually getting done, what’s working right now, what’s not, and where most agents, buyers, and sellers are getting it wrong.
If you want real insight into buying, selling, or building a real estate business in Central Texas — you’re in the right place.
