Getting to Know the Austins


Posted on December 24, 2009

When Rebecca and Brian Austin moved to 4S Ranch a few months ago, they had a number of valid reasons to make the switch from Carlsbad.

They really liked the access to the various amenities available right in their neighborhood, such as parks, stores, restaurants, library, gyms, and hiking trails. And they felt the community was well-planned, with a diverse mix of home styles and sizes — along with lots of open spaces, which provided for a quality of life they sought.

But with a young daughter, it was the reputation of the schools that was first and foremost on their minds. “The Poway School District provided incredible schools located within walking distance of our (new) home,” said Rebecca Austin, Broker/President of New Team Realty. “We know that most people who live here (in 4S Ranch) have the same high standards in their community and priority on their children, which makes us very proud to live here.”

In addition to her work in real estate sales, Rebecca Austin spends time keeping her mind and body in shape at Bikram’s Yoga Studio in Rancho Bernardo and riding her horse on the nearby trails in Poway. Brian Austin, president of Rank Higher SEO (an online marketing company), is also active in the Scottish Highland Games, traveling around the world tossing “cabers” (a traditional Scottish athletic event involving the tossing of a large wooden pole, similar to a telephone or power pole).

Residents of Cambridge, the Austin’s home is often referred to as a “Hotel California” that requires reservations — as they have two guest bedrooms that are regularly used by family and friends, especially during the winter months (both have families hailing from Canada, who are anxious to take advantage of 4S Ranch’s near-perfect year-round climate). “Christmas is a very festive occasion for us,” Rebecca Austin noted.
