A lifelong New Yorker and founder of The Austin Schuster Group, he has represented buyers, sellers, developers, investors, and institutions across some of the city’s most complex and valuable transactions—from luxury cooperative and condominium residences and townhouses to major off-market development sites.

Whether it is a classic prewar home, townhouse, or new development, Austin covers the full gamut of New York City real estate with deep market knowledge and strategic precision. He has identified for his buyers—and sold for his sellers—some of the most beautiful homes in New York City, spanning Tribeca, the West Village, Lower East Side, NoHo, SoHo, Brooklyn, and the Upper East and Upper West Sides.

His true value is origination—identifying the best opportunities, connecting the right people, structuring clear paths forward, and helping clients navigate important decisions where competence matters more than anything. He has become a trusted advisor to longtime friends and families he grew up with in New York City, as well as developers, family offices, and many other clients who rely on his judgment, loyalty, and ability to think through and follow through on each unique deal to ensure successful outcomes.
