This week, I’m joined by the President and Owner of Investors Alliance Diana Zuniga as we share our takes on the future of the real estate business in Austin, Texas. Diana shares her backstory on how she went from being an aspiring professional dancer to a trailblazer in the Texas real estate industry, bringing others along for the ride. We also discuss the future of real estate in Austin amid a rapidly changing world and throw out ideas on the local change we want to see. Although Austin has not been left out of challenging times, Diana says she can’t help but be optimistic for the future.

In the '80s and '90s, Diana Zuniga was one of only a handful of women in commercial real estate in Austin. But she never let that hold her back — in fact, she used it to her advantage, building a career that stretches from multifamily broker to investor to developer. Find out why she is the 2020 recipient of the Austin Business Journal’s W. Neal Kocurek Commercial Real Estate Special Achievement Award.
