Marley Bautista

Originally from rural southeast Oklahoma, Marley Bautista grew up on a beef cattle ranch where hard work, community, and a deep connection to the land shaped her values. A graduate of the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics, she later earned her B.A. in Business Administration and Psychology from Austin College, where she also studied abroad in Costa Rica, England, France, and the Netherlands. After working in banking, where she gained insight into home lending and finance, Marley discovered her passion for real estate and earned her license shortly after relocating to Austin with her husband, Aron.

Since beginning her real estate career, Marley has combined her early exposure to property investment with her professional experience in finance to help clients make confident, informed decisions. She enjoys the challenge of pricing and positioning homes for success and brings a collaborative, data-driven approach to every transaction. As a team lead with Synergy Property Group, Marley finds fulfillment in mentoring other agents — helping them discover their unique strengths and build thriving real estate careers grounded in service, knowledge, and efficiency.

Marley and Aron have built their lives in Austin since 2005, where they are raising their two children. Their family stays deeply connected to the community through sports, volunteering, and martial arts. Both Marley and Aron are black belt instructors with the Austin Society of Karate, where they teach and host local tournaments. In their free time, the family enjoys exploring Austin’s parks and restaurants, especially the places that reflect the city’s welcoming, creative spirit.
