  • Austin Tuer

    REALTOR - DRE# 02254886

    austin@native.us

    With over 15 years of service as a firefighter, Austin’s built his career on dedication, trust, and putting others first. Values he now carries into his work as a full-time Realtor joining Team Tuer alongside his wife, Marissa Tuer, who continues to be an industry leader. They are excited to offer even more personalized service, creative strategies, and a seamless experience whether their clients are buying, selling, or investing.

    Real Estate is a part of his story - He grew up in a family deeply rooted in the industry, and has spent years gaining hands-on experience in title insurance, investment properties, and the house-flipping market.

    This unique background gives him a well-rounded perspective on every transaction, whether clients are buying their first home, selling a property, or looking for their next investment. His mission is to guide clients with integrity, clear communication, and the same calm, under-pressure approach that defined his firefighting career.

    Whether you’re navigating a competitive market or just starting to explore your options, Austin and Marissa are here to help you make smart, confident decisions.

    When he’s not working, you will find Austin on the golf course perfecting his swing or spending quality time with his family enjoying the simple blessings of life. His faith in Jesus is at the heart of everything he does, guiding how he lives and loves others. He has a deep appreciation for a good glass of wine and BBQing, especially when shared with family and friends. Boating in Lake Havasu is one of his favorite ways to unwind. The sun, water, and good company make for the perfect day.
