Bio
Austin Barron is a seasoned commercial real estate professional with six years of industry experience. He earned his salesperson license in 2019 and achieved his broker license in 2021. Austin's expertise spans multiple facets of commercial real estate, including retail sales and leasing, investment sales and underwriting, land sales, consulting, and risk analysis for both commercial land and residential subdivision land, industrial sales and leasing, business opportunity sales, hard money loan brokerage, and private equity and debt brokerage. Austin began his career at Century 21 Select Commercial Group, where he worked from 2019 to 2024, honing his skills and building a strong foundation in retail transactions. In December 2024, he transitioned to his role as a Retail Broker with Ethan Conrad Properties, where he continues to provide unparalleled service and strategic guidance to his clients. As a dedicated Broker, Austin prioritizes his clients' success above all else, offering honest advice and comprehensive market insights, even when it means losing a potential deal. His client-first approach has resulted in notable success stories, including a young couple in Chico who initially sought his help to sell their building and purchase a new one. Through Austin's strategic advice, they instead successfully refinanced their existing property, leased it out, and expanded their business into their new property while maintaining a positive cash flow from the previous location. Austin's analytical prowess has made him a sought-after expert in property valuation and complex lease analysis. He has assisted some of California's most prestigious fire disaster attorneys by providing critical commercial property valuations that help their clients achieve fair settlements in legal disputes. Beyond his professional achievements, Austin is deeply invested in the Chico community. He served as a board member for the City of Chico Architectural Review Board from 2019 to 2023, contributing to thoughtful urban development initiatives. He actively participates in city council meetings, advocating for solutions to the local housing crisis. Additionally, Austin serves as a board member for the Sierra North Valley Realtors Association and advocates locally and statewide for private property rights, housing, and commercial real estate related legislation.
