A founding partner of DEN Property Group, Bailey's familiarity within the downtown core stems from his tenure at the most luxurious downtown highrises. His move to Austin, over ten years ago, at the ground breaking of the The Residences at W Austin, as well as living downtown, provided his breadth of knowledge amongst competing and neighboring properties. Bailey opened the first Starwood property to combine hotel and residences, The Residences at W Dallas, and managed their residential operations prior to being scouted to oversee sales of The Residences at W Austin. Following the successful sellout of the Residences at W Austin, Bailey began sales for The KOR Group with their new branded residences, Austin Proper. As the newest echelon of luxury residences in Austin, the sales velocity and early success can be attributed to the location, Kelly Wearstler's interior design, and the limited number of exclusive residences.

Amy & Chip couldn’t be more thankful for their community at First Baptist Church, where they were married in 1988 and raised their three children over the past thirty years.

Emily's love of Austin was apparent from the first time she visited the University of Texas campus 21 years ago; She quickly enrolled, leaving behind Northern California and putting down Texas roots. Choosing to remain in the capitol city after college, Emily took a position as the deputy fundraiser for the Kinky Friedman for Governor campaign. Despite the excitement of a historic campaign trail, she jumped at an opportunity to start a career in downtown real estate as a sales agent for The Shore Condominiums in early 2006. Learning firsthand how difficult it can be to close contracts through a declining market, Emily realized how fulfilling it was to welcome people into their new homes, particularly after overcoming the challenges that an economic downturn creates.
Her market insight and depth of understanding regarding the closing process made her a natural choice for the Four Seasons Residences team. Working as the closing coordinator, and ultimately the lead sales agent, she was actively involved in every transaction for four years through the final closing in 2013.
Joining Den allowed for Emily’s scope of experience to expand at Austin Proper Hotel & Residences, where the team represented the most exclusive project in downtown. A highly collaborative environment provided opportunities to contribute and consult on every aspect of the marketing program, in addition to the contracts on 98 luxury homes.
Between downtown projects, Emily enjoys representing buyers and sellers throughout Austin. Her interests outside of real estate include reading, fitness, and being outside with her husband & three children.

Eva Lovely knows the distinction between a house and a home.
Her long career in fashion and production has found her living in Austin, LA, Miami, New York, and the Palm-lined beaches of Kerala. On sabbatical from the demands of the advertising world, Eva worked for three years in the jungle of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula to design and build a dream house with her own two hands - a now fabled tree-house property called Punta Jaguar - which she has used her considerable marketing acumen to have featured in top-shelf media and style outlets like the Today Show, Elle, Elle Decor, Snapchat and Thrillist.
But when it was time to decide where she would give birth and raise her son, Austin was the home she returned to. As a resident for 6 years, Eva came home to a place that extends beyond the walls of her family home into a personal community as diverse as the city itself. Her friendships keep her in the regular company of Austin’s top designers, hoteliers, restauranteurs, musicians, founders, and filmmakers - right alongside the deep relationships she’d made as a blessing way birth ceremonialist, a certified end of life doula, and as a mom to a local pre-schooler. Naturally and successfully bridging these worlds requires intuition, empathy, and integrity - and an understanding that we all have unique needs. You’ll find that Eva’s work at DEN is driven by these same attributes, and filtered through the trained eye of an aesthete whose eye for design and style has guided happy clients for years.
