Meet KHANI

Selling or buying a home is about more than timing the market. It’s about positioning, preparation, and having the right strategy from day one, guided by someone who understands both the numbers and the nuance behind every decision.

I’m the founder of the Khani Zulu Group, a design-driven real estate advisory based in Austin. I work with sellers, buyers, and investors who value clarity, confidence, and a thoughtful, well-planned approach. My role is to guide clients through complex, often emotional decisions by balancing smart market strategy with calm, steady guidance every step of the way.

I’m a three-time Christie’s International Real Estate Masters Circle recipient and a multi-year Platinum Top 50 honoree, recognized nationally for performance and client advocacy. These honors reflect my commitment to disciplined negotiation, strategic positioning, and protecting my clients’ best interests at every stage of the process.

My background in the arts and entrepreneurship shapes how I approach real estate today. I bring a design-forward lens to marketing and presentation, paired with data-backed decision-making and hands-on execution. For sellers, this means thoughtful pricing, intentional preparation, and marketing strategies designed to elevate a property’s value while minimizing stress. I focus on the details that matter, from make-ready guidance and staging direction to positioning and negotiation, ensuring there are no surprises along the way.

For buyers, my approach is equally strategic and deeply supportive. I help clients move through the process with clarity and confidence, whether they’re purchasing their first home, making a lifestyle move, or building a long-term investment portfolio. I’m known for my ability to listen carefully, identify opportunities others may miss, and advocate fiercely during negotiations, all while keeping the experience grounded and manageable.

Clients often tell me they value my calm presence, clear communication, and ability to simplify what can feel overwhelming. I build long-term relationships and serve as a trusted resource well beyond closing, helping clients make decisions that align not just with their goals, but with how they want to live.

Based in Austin, I remain deeply connected to the city’s neighborhoods, creative community, and evolving market. If you’re considering buying, selling, or investing, I’m always happy to be a resource.

Deeply committed to my community, I serve as president of the board of directors for Andrea Ariel Dance Theater and am an active donor to local nonprofits. Outside of real estate, I enjoy working out, expanding my fashion collection, spending time with my husband and Chihuahua, and sipping craft cocktails.
