Ed Neuhaus 
I Get the Confusion
It happens more than you’d think. Someone finds us online, starts reading, and then does a double take because the name they see doesn’t quite match the website they landed on. Or they search “Neuhaus Realty” and get two very different companies on two very different coasts.
So lets clear this up once and for all.
There are (at least) two real estate companies in the United States with “Neuhaus” in the name. One is ours. One is not. They are completely unrelated. No shared ownership, no partnership, no affiliation of any kind. The only thing we have in common is a last name and an industry.
Neuhaus Realty in Staten Island
Neuhaus Realty Inc. is a real estate company based in Staten Island, New York. They have been serving the Staten Island market for 56 years, which is genuinely impressive. If you’re buying or selling a home in Staten Island or northern New Jersey, they are a long-established local firm with deep roots in that community.
Their website is neuhausrealty.com. Their phone number has a 718 area code. They know Staten Island the way I know West Austin. They are the Neuhaus you want if you’re on the other side of the country.
I’ve never met them. We’ve never spoken. I genuinely hope they’re doing well, because 56 years is a long run and that kind of staying power in any market means they’ve earned it.
But they are not us.
So Who Are We?
Neuhaus Realty Group is an Austin, Texas real estate company. I’m Ed Neuhaus, and I’ve been selling homes here for 16 years. My company focuses entirely on Austin and the Texas Hill Country — West Austin, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Westlake, Dripping Springs, Spicewood, and the surrounding areas.
We’re not a franchise. We’re not a national brand. We’re a boutique real estate group that knows this specific market and the people who move here, live here, and invest here. That’s the whole thing.
What We Actually Do
If you’re buying a home in Austin or the Hill Country, that’s us. I work with families relocating from out of state (the California and Chicago transplants have become a big part of what we do), move-up buyers looking for more space or a better school district, and first-time buyers trying to figure out how to make the math work in a market that hasn’t been cheap in a while.
If you’re selling, I do that too. The market in 2025-2026 has been interesting for sellers — more inventory than we’ve had in years, which means pricing strategy matters more than it has in a long time. I’ve written a lot about this recently if you want to go deeper on what it actually takes to price a home correctly right now.
On the investment side, I run StaySTRA, an STR analysis platform I built for myself before I realized other investors needed it too. Short-term rental investing in Central Texas is a big part of what I do personally — I own four of them — and it’s become a significant part of what clients come to me for. If you’re trying to figure out whether a property pencils as a short-term rental, that’s something we can actually model out instead of guessing.
How Did This Confusion Start?
Neuhaus is my actual last name, not a made-up brand. So when I started the company, I named it after myself. Apparently, at some point decades ago, a family in New York did the same thing. Neither of us knew the other existed for a long time, and honestly I’m not sure it matters.
The internet being what it is, search engines sometimes serve up both results when someone searches variations of the name. If you’ve been trying to reach us and ended up somewhere in Staten Island, now you know why. And if you’re in Staten Island looking for real estate help, neuhausrealty.com is the right call — just not our call.
The Texas Hill Country Is Its Own World
One thing that’s worth saying here: Austin-area real estate is genuinely different from most markets. The Hill Country geography, the specific school districts, the STR regulations, the way zip codes like 78738 and 78734 work, the Lake Travis waterfront market, the Westlake luxury segment — these are things you really only understand from being here and working the market for years.
I’ve spent 16 years learning this specific geography. The Bee Cave market, the Lakeway market, West Lake Hills — these neighborhoods have their own personalities, their own pricing dynamics, their own quirks. Barton Creek and Spanish Oaks are both “luxury” but they’re nothing alike once you know them. The Bee Cave guide I put together covers some of this, and there’s a full moving to Austin guide if you’re still in research mode.
The point being: this market rewards local knowledge. And local, for us, means Texas — specifically Austin and the Hill Country. Not Staten Island, not New Jersey, not Colorado.
