AUSTIN, TX - Austin, Texas, recently named as #1 City for Growing Businesses by MarketWatch, gains more notoriety with the announcement of the prestigious Austin Portfolio Real Estate, Shannon Schmitz and Morgan Smith joins Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate and its network of fine high-end estate brokers and firms. Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate and the website LuxuryRealEstate.com represent a compendium of the finest residential real estate firms from around the world.
“I am pleased to welcome Austin Portfolio Real Estate into the Luxury Real Estate network,” said John Brian Losh, Chairman/Publisher of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate and LuxuryRealEstate.com. “Luxury real estate agents like Shannon T. Schmitz and Morgan Smith have stellar reputations, with local expertise and international connections.”
Morgan Smith with the Shannon Schmitz Group and other agents with Austin Portfolio Real Estate, Keller Williams Luxury Homes International's boutique office, have joined the Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate network, and Shannon T. Schmitz led the effort to gain this notable luxury network connection.
“I realized the impact of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate when I changed companies and saw the web traffic on my Luxury home listings decline. I attributed that to me no longer being a member of Who’s Who and fully see the value in being a member of this organization." commented Shannon T. Schmitz, "I am excited to introduce Austin Portfolio Real Estate to the big impact that Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate will make for all of our Luxury clients.”
“Our goal is to always be moving forward and, once again, our agents and offices are leading us to the top of the industry."

Congratulations to Austin Portfolio Real Estate, Shannon T. Schmitz and Morgan Smith for achieving this great honor.”
Luxury real estate agents, like Shannon T. Schmitz and Morgan Smith, employ a range of upscale marketing strategies and techniques that reflect the high value of these properties and high expectations of their buyers and sellers.
"Among its qualities, Austin is home to the state’s main public university and is considered one of Texas’ more diverse cities, which urban economists say helps foster growth.” the MarketWatch article stated, “Consider one movement in town playfully known as “Keep Austin Weird.” It doesn’t want big business to overrun the town, reasoning that innovation comes from more small and diverse businesses to keep springing up. Austin isn’t your typical Texas town. 'It is the San Francisco of Texas,' said Kevin Stolarick, an urban economist and research director at the University of Toronto’s Martin Prosperity Institute, part of the college’s Rotman School of Management."
