Christen Bakke

Real Estate Agent

Farhouse begins with Christen. At its heart is her conviction that real estate should be more than a transaction.

A native Texan, East Side resident, and one of Austin's leading neighborhood specialists, Christen has spent more than a decade helping buyers and sellers make smart decisions with confidence. Known for uncovering opportunities others miss, she is a relentless advocate for her clients with the audacity to make homebuying fun. 

 

Beyond traditional buying and selling, Christen brings firsthand experience in investing, renovations, development, and navigating Austin's zoning and permitting process. She founded Austin's first East Side Home Tour, opening the door to listings most buyers never see. It has since expanded with localized, off-market tours across the city.

 

Christen lives in Cherrywood with her husband, Will, and their son on the kind of quintessential Austin street clients often call hoping to find. Outside of real estate, you'll usually find her on the volleyball court or at Houndstooth Coffee.
