In her brokerage's words ## Realtor to the stars, and to first-time buyers. Tosca is anything but typical. She is a self-made millionaire, single super-mom to three exceptional children, and well known around Austin as a keen business woman. That is the opening of her Coldwell Banker biography. It goes on to say she built a reputation as Realtor-to-the-Stars, working with entertainment-industry clients who also call Central Texas home, and that she has handled multi-million-dollar transactions on a daily basis. The reviews on Google and Yelp tell the other half: first-time buyers from New York, Georgia, Michigan and Tennessee who were picked up at the door and driven through the neighborhoods before they saw a house. What drives her, in the biography's words, is a passion for helping people. She is an advocate for women and children and holds that everyone has the ability within themselves to succeed. In Austin, that has shown up as decades of sponsorship: the Longhorn Lounge tailgate at UT home games, the West Lake Hills 4th of July Parade, and the local businesses listed below.
