Batya Porter Named Best Realtor in 2025 Best of Round Rock Community Awards

Batya Porter, a residential and commercial real estate agent based in Round Rock, Texas, has been named Best Realtor in the 2025 Best of Round Rock Awards. This annual recognition is determined entirely by community votes through Best of Round Rock TX, making it a meaningful indicator of local trust and satisfaction.

The award reflects more than transaction volume, highlighting a reputation built on trust, preparation, and consistent visibility in the community. Porter serves clients across Round Rock and the surrounding Central Texas region through her practice at https://buywithbatya.com, where she focuses on proactive guidance and reducing surprises during real estate transactions, which she describes as one of life's most personal decisions.

Porter's professional background includes more than a dozen real estate-related certifications and designations, including Accredited Buyer Representative, Seller Representative Specialist, Military Relocation Professional, Price Strategy Analyst, and Real Estate Negotiation Expert. She also holds certifications in Real Estate Divorce, Senior Relocation Professional, Home Finance Resource, Short Sale and Foreclosure, Real Estate Investing, At Home with Diversity, and Commitment to Excellence.

Her certifications translate to practical benefits for clients, with training focused on issues that can cost people money, time, and sleep during real estate transactions.

Porter's approach to real estate is shaped by personal history. Growing up in Pittsburgh, she experienced her family home going through foreclosure, an event that shaped her understanding of how deeply housing decisions affect families. This experience continues to influence how she works with clients today, especially first-time buyers and families navigating complex transitions. Her goal is to ensure clients feel informed and supported at critical moments.

Beyond real estate transactions, Porter has invested quietly in the community. Early in her career, she helped support snack programs for students at Gattis Elementary and Robertson Elementary, ensuring children facing food insecurity had access to nutrition during the school day. She continues to support local schools, military families, and community initiatives, viewing real estate as part of a larger ecosystem of stability and opportunity.

Tyler, Managing Editor of Round the Rock, which has been connecting Round Rock and Central Texas for over 12 years, noted that "Best of Round Rock truly goes beyond votes, honoring local businesses built on trust, proven excellence, and meaningful community connection."
