We Teamed up With Dani Klarić to Create a Memorable Community Space & Office in East Austin
As Open House Austin has become a cornerstone for first-time homebuyers, sellers, and investors in Austin, TX and beyond - we've found ourselves needing more room to grow as a team, business, and community.
We’ve dreamed of having a place of our own where we could hold our monthly events: Women Investor Group Meetups as well as our “How to Buy a House in Austin'' Workshop sessions. So, we set out to make that happen earlier this year by…
Finding the right commercial space! It wasn't easy. 😅 If anyone is thinking of doing something similar, we have some Realtor recommendations that might help. Thankfully, we had a fantastic person guiding us! Steph explains the process more in this TikTok:
@openhouseaustin We have never rented a commercial space before! Heres how our process went in Austin texas ☺️ #commerciallease #newofficespace #austintx #commercialproperty ♬ original sound - Steph & Kristina
To make this place truly special, we joined forces with Dani Klarić, a TikTok influencer and beloved interior decorator.
She helped bring our vision to life, flying in with her team to choose vintage furniture and add new colors and personal touches to the space.
Here’s a quick tour prior to renovation:
@openhouseaustin Heres the “before” tour of our new office bungalow in East Austin! So excited to hopefully host our first event for yall in september 😍 #austintx #bungalow #daniklaric #interiordesign #beforeandafter ♬ original sound - Steph & Kristina
Dani and her team made some great videos documenting the process as well. These are some of our favorites…

Unboxing furniture and adding more exciting colors/patterns to the walls
