I’m Beni Aguirre, an award-winning Austin Luxury Realtor® with over $77M in real estate sold and 300+ successful transactions. I’ve been recognized as one of Austin Home Magazine’s Best Realtors (2023–2025), a three-time Austin Business Journal Residential Real Estate Awards nominee, and a 2026 Austin Platinum Top 50 Finalist. With a B.S. in Economics from Texas A&M and a background in financial advising, mortgage lending, and small business banking, I bring a strategic, finance-driven approach to real estate. I specialize in luxury homes, new construction, and architecturally significant properties across Austin, helping buyers, sellers, developers, and investors maximize opportunity and value. My approach combines data-driven pricing, elevated marketing, strong negotiation, and high-level execution to create a seamless, results-focused experience. Outside of real estate, I enjoy exploring Austin with my fiancée, Liz, and our dogs, Benji and Georgie.

I provide real estate services throughout the Austin, Texas area and am an active investor with properties in the Austin suburbs. I work with buyers, sellers, and fellow investors who want smart, well-researched guidance in a fast-moving market. I also serve as the Austin Board of REALTORS® Ambassador to Costa Rica, helping clients relocate or invest in one of the strongest markets in the Americas. Before real estate, I spent years as a wildlife biologist working in East and Southern Africa and Central America. Conservation is still a core part of my life, and I donate a portion of every transaction to wildlife organizations around the world.
