In 2019, Austin obtained his Juris Doctor from the University of Tulsa College of Law, and he is a member of both the Texas and Montana State Bar Associations.

Austin’s professional career began in January 2020 when he joined the Lawyers Title Commercial operation of the Fidelity National Title Group. This opportunity provided him with broad exposure to a diverse range of commercial transactions, allowing him to gain comprehensive experience from the inception to the completion of complex real estate deals. As a former commercial title attorney, Austin worked closely with buyers, sellers, lenders, brokers, and their legal counsel, guiding them through every stage of real property transactions.
