Rooted in Trust. Driven by Results.

Buying or selling a home is a big move — you deserve clarity, strategy, and someone who puts your goals first. I’m James Brinkman, a broker who’s been helping people buy and sell home in Central Texas for over 25 years. I believe in honest advice, smart strategy, and results that actually matter. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating, my job is to simplify the process, keep you informed, and help you get the best outcome possible.

Who You Choose Changes Everything

Not Every Agent is Built for This Market

In a city with over 20,000 real estate agents, it's easy to feel like you're rolling the dice when choosing one. But this isn’t the time for guesswork or ‘good enough.’ In today’s market, having the right strategy — and the right person in your corner — changes everything. I don’t just open doors and write offers. I help you think three steps ahead, avoid costly mistakes, and move forward with confidence. You don’t need to settle. You need a plan.

Maximum Exposure, Proven Results

Your listing gets priority placement on AustinRealEstate.com — the top organic site for “Austin Real Estate” searches. That means more eyes, more clicks, and faster traction.

High-End Marketing

That Works Harder

I’ve invested over $30,000 into top-tier coaching to master social media strategy, retargeting, and pixeling — so your home reaches the right buyers with the right message.

You’re Never

Locked In

No long-term listing traps here. My Cancel-Anytime Agreement gives you total flexibility — if I’m not delivering, you can walk away. Simple as that.

Strategic Prep

That Sells

My Market-Ready Method ensures your home makes a powerful first impression — from staging tips to pro photography, every detail is handled to maximize value.

A Little About Homes By Brink

“James was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process of buying a house in Austin.”

From our initial conversation all the way through closing and beyond, he was proactive in his communication, thorough in his advice and guidance, and all around easy to work with. When we started our search, we had one home in mind that seemed to check all the boxes but ended up not being the right fit. James really listened to what we were looking for in a home and what locations appealed to us, and ultimately he found an off-market home that was the perfect fit and the one we closed on.

I would highly recommend James to anyone looking for a home in the Austin area.

"He is knowledgeable about his profession, gave us advice when we asked for assistance, and most importantly, he was very patient with us."

"James is a very easy and open person to work with. Being a first time home buyer, it can't be expected that we would know what we wanted just by looking at some pictures and visiting one or two houses. James gave us the time we needed -- his time, to look at all the homes that fit our criteria in order to find the perfect home. We are extremely happy with his service, his responsiveness, his personality, and his understanding of what it is to buy and own a home."
