Meet Austin

Local insight with a hospitality-driven approach.

As a third-generation Pasadena native, longtime Altadena resident, and REALTOR® with Seven Gables Real Estate's Altadena office, Austin Hall has deep roots in the Foothill communities he serves. Today, he is focused on helping buyers and sellers throughout Altadena, Pasadena, and the surrounding communities make confident real estate decisions with the benefit of genuine local knowledge and personalized guidance.

A Platinum Producer, Austin specializes in luxury homes, historic properties, and working with first-time buyers. His approach combines strong negotiation, thoughtful strategy, clear communication, and a commitment to making what can be a complicated process feel straightforward and well managed.

Before transitioning into real estate, Austin spent more than a decade in the hospitality industry, with the majority of his career spent as a chef. Working in fast-paced professional kitchens taught him the importance of preparation, attention to detail, adaptability, communication, and staying composed under pressure. Today, he brings that same discipline and service-minded approach to real estate, anticipating his clients' needs, proactively solving problems, and making sure every detail of the transaction is handled with care.

Austin's local knowledge extends throughout Altadena and Northeast Pasadena, including Historic Highlands, the President Streets, the Altadena Country Club area, Bungalow Heaven, Brigden Ranch, Hastings Ranch, and East Washington Village. More than simply knowing the real estate market, he understands the character, lifestyle, architecture, and sense of community that make these neighborhoods unique.

Outside of real estate, Austin stays closely connected to the community by coaching youth and high school rugby in Pasadena. When he's not working with clients or on the rugby field, he enjoys spending time with his wife and their two French bulldogs.

For Austin, real estate is about more than buying and selling homes. It's about relationships, community, and helping people feel confident about where they choose to put down roots.

Client Experiences

What clients say.

“
Austin was instrumental in helping us purchase our home, especially during the time when competition was high. His thoughtfulness and responsiveness are standout qualities that always put us at ease. He was always upbeat, positive, friendly, and encouraging. We felt at ease with him on our team. If you can get Austin on your team, you will not be sorry!

Austin was absolutely amazing. We started our house search with little hope that we would get anywhere with it. After our first viewing, he was very intuitive about what we were looking for, provided great advice, and was thoughtful and thorough about our search. All the people he connected us to were amazing as well, especially the inspectors who were extremely helpful and honest. It was truly a joy to work with Austin — I don't know how many people can say that about their realtors. Can't recommend highly enough.

Austin did an absolutely amazing job helping us purchase a new home! He was extremely patient, professional, helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable. We looked at a lot of different single family homes and townhouses, and Austin was with us throughout the entire process. We would find homes we liked, send them to Austin, he'd help us make all the necessary connections and schedule them accordingly. Being a first time homebuyer, I had so many questions and was so confused about the different terms. The entire process seemed so complex and had so many moving parts, but Austin was extremely patient with me. He answered all of my questions, walked me through the process, and definitely helped calm my nerves every step of the way. He's a true blessing and a true pleasure to work with. I recommend him to anyone out there looking to buy or lease property. He's the best!!!!
