Real Estate and Development Reporter, Austin American-Statesman
The Austin American-Statesman is seeking an experienced business reporter to cover Central Texas real estate — from home sales and housing starts to office, industrial, retail and multifamily development, occupancy and rent, as well as the policies shaping growth in one of the fastest-growing regions in the state and nation.
What will you do?
As a member of the regional Business team, this reporter will break news and deliver exclusive enterprise on sales, leases, developments and market trends in residential and commercial real estate. In collaboration with the Austin Business Editor, will take a leading role in producing a regular real estate- and development-focused newsletter and collaborate on data-rich interactives, maps and visuals that bring growth and development to life.
Responsibilities
What will it take to be successful?
- An ability to surface breaking news and trends by mining data from a broad range of sources: area municipalities, courts, state agencies, real estate associations, brokers and banks.
- Developing a network of sources among developers, builders, financiers, government officials, neighborhood groups and others who impact or are impacted by development.
- Experience working with public records and market data: building permits, market reports, state development filings, zoning cases, deed and plat records, and the ability to convert such data into clear, compelling stories.
- The ability to juggle breaking news with ambitious enterprise and analysis that connects the dots for readers and influences policy discussions.
Qualifications
Other requirements:
- At least 5 years of daily journalism experience and at least 3 years in business, real estate or growth and development coverage.
- A digital-first mindset with strong SEO, headline writing and audience instincts.
- Adept at using social platforms to track companies, officials and community conversations.
- Track record of source development in publicly traded, closely held and private companies.
- Experience covering earnings reports and other SEC filings.
- Ability to collaborate in a fast-paced environment with visuals, data and audience teams across Hearst Texas newsrooms.
