For Attorneys, Fiduciaries & Professional Advisors
White-Glove Real Estate for Legal & Fiduciary Client Matters.
Complex property matters require more than a listing agent. They require strategy, organization, discretion, vendor coordination, and transaction oversight.

Thomas Austin Real Estate is a real estate advisory group, founded by Ambrosia Austin and powered by Compass; supporting attorneys, fiduciaries, trustees, guardians, personal representatives, and professional advisors when real estate becomes part of a legal, estate, or time-sensitive client matter.
Our experience is backed by results. With more than $47 million in closed transaction volume, our team brings proven market judgment to property matters that require strategy, discretion, preparation, and clear communication. Our listings sell at an average of 102% of list price, with 64% selling at or above list price; reflecting a disciplined approach to pricing, market readiness, negotiation, and coordinated execution throughout the Greater Puget Sound area and across Washington State.
To elevate that standard, we built A.R.C. — Asset Resolution & Coordination — our proprietary in-house platform created specifically for complex real estate matters. Powered by ARCHIE, our AI-assisted human intelligence experience, A.R.C. brings order, visibility, and accountability to the moving parts that often make these transactions difficult: documents, parties, vendors, communications, escrow milestones, approvals, and next steps.
Our role is to reduce friction on the real estate side, document progress, coordinate the moving parts, and help matters move efficiently toward resolution, closing, and final distribution so attorneys and fiduciaries can serve their clients without carrying the property side themselves.

Beyond Brokerage
More than a listing service.
Complex client cases often require more than putting a property on the market. They require judgment, preparation, communication, documentation, and the ability to coordinate the moving parts that determine whether a transaction moves forward or stalls.
Thomas Austin Real Estate helps attorneys and their clients evaluate the real estate path forward, prepare the property, coordinate vendors, support documentation, and guide the transaction through closing.

We handle evaluation of the property, market conditions, estimated value, repair considerations, and practical sale options.
Case-specific coordination
We coordinate with attorneys, fiduciaries, escrow, vendors, family members, and transaction participants to keep the real estate side organized.
Vendor and property readiness
From clean-outs and repairs to staging, access coordination, and maintenance needs, our team helps manage the steps required to prepare the property.
Transaction execution
We handle the sale from pricing strategy and market preparation through negotiation, escrow, closing, and documentation.

How a Referral Works
Simple for you. Seamless for your client.
When you refer a client with a real estate matter, we handle it from there — keeping you informed at every milestone without adding to your workload. Here's exactly what happens.
One call to brief us
Tell us what you know — the property situation, the client's circumstances, any legal or court considerations, and your timeline. Five minutes is enough to get started. Everything discussed is held in strict confidence.
We contact your client within 24 hours
We reach out directly to your client — with your introduction — and handle the property conversation from there. You stay in the loop; you don't carry the coordination.
Written property assessment within 5 business days
We deliver a written assessment covering property condition, estimated value range, recommended next steps, and any practical considerations relevant to your case — formatted for your file.
Milestone updates through ARC. — no chasing required
Every material development — vendor coordination, listing activity, offers, escrow milestones, and closing — is documented in ARC. and routed to you. You always know where the property side of the case stands, without having to ask.
Most referrals start with a five-minute call. If you have a matter you'd like to discuss — or just want to understand how we work before you refer — reach out directly.
