More about our team… Austin A Plus Homes is a company run by Maxwell McDaniel and Jennifer Semler. Combined, they have over 20 years of experience in the real estate business. The team was started by Maxwell McDaniel in 2001 and has been a top producing team for the last 6 years. The team has won numerous awards throughout the years for outstanding sales volume.

Maxwell is a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington in 1988. After stints at several large companies such as Dell and Microsoft, he left the high tech world and started his career in real estate in 2001 at Keller Williams Realty. While at Keller Williams, he became one of the top producing agents in one of the top 3 real estate offices in the entire United States. He also worked for 3 years on the Agent Leadership Council, chaired the Technology Committee and was an active member of the Financial Planning Committee.

Jennifer began her career in Real Estate right after graduating from Baylor University in 1996. Since then she has made a natural progression in Real Estate from leasing agent, to apartment locator, then to new on-site home sales with Milburn/D.R.Horton in 1999. From there she decided to work along side one of the top agents in Austin, selling a wide range of homes from $92,000 to $2.75 million. Her next move was to become an individual agent where she could specialize in both listings and buyer agency. She began at a local firm where she was the top producing individual agent with over 6 million in production the first year.

It was while she was at this firm she was recruited by Maxwell McDaniel at Keller Williams. Maxwell and Jennifer joined teams a year later to create the Austin A+ Homes Team and have now branched out to be on their own through a forward thinking company, Private Label Realty which gives benefits to its clients by providing discount services through lending and title without sacrificing quality.

Together Jen and Maxwell have a wealth of resources, friendly service and pride themselves on quality and professionalism. They have found it is the best company for them to thrive and most qualified for their clients’ needs. At Austin A Plus Homes they can “provide all the personal attention you can stand!”
