About Echelon Property Group

Echelon Property Group is a private Austin real estate advisory firm representing buyers, sellers, and investors across residential, ranch, land, redevelopment, and investment property.

The team is led by Taylor Sherwood, an advisor focused on strategy, valuation, and discreet execution across Austin's most consequential real estate assets.

Echelon Property Group is brokered by eXp Realty, providing global agent reach, advanced technology, and a national distribution network that extends well beyond the local MLS, an advantage on both the acquisition and disposition side of any high-value transaction.

For sellers, this means broader exposure and stronger qualified-buyer reach. For buyers and investors, it means earlier visibility into private opportunities, ranch and land inventory, and redevelopment sites that rarely surface publicly.

Coverage includes Westlake Hills, Tarrytown, Spanish Oaks, Northwest Hills, Barton Creek, Lake Austin, and surrounding Hill Country ranch and land markets.
