Principal
Baker Harrell, PhD
Dr. Baker Harrell is a serial social entrepreneur, founding and leading multiple, successful nonprofit organizations over his 15-year career in the social services sector. During his tenure, Baker raised and managed more than $35 million in funding from federal and state agencies, corporations, grantmaking institutions, and individuals. He also forged multiyear strategic partnerships with some of Texas’ leading agencies, organizations, and companies, including H-E-B, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the University of Texas System, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas.
In 2019, Baker selected Dr. Amy McGeady to succeed him as the CEO of It’s Time Texas – the statewide public health nonprofit that he founded in 2014. That same year, he received the Texas Health Champion award by Live Smart Texas and the University of Texas School of Public Health – Michael and Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living. Baker is an alumnus of UT Austin, where he earned his Master’s and doctoral degrees.
Last year, Baker partnered with Meredith Alderson and his wife Lisa Harrell to found Heyday – a purpose-driven real estate company whose social mission is to address affordable housing in the communities in which it operates. As a Principal at Heyday, Baker leads the company’s strategic growth, team success, and philanthropic efforts. Later this summer, Baker, Lisa, and their two daughters will be moving to Morrison, Colorado, where they will launch Heyday’s Colorado office.

If you haven`t checked out @loudmouthpizza yet, you`re missing out on great food but also some inspiring design that beautifully honors Austin`s architectural heritage. The team at Furman + Keil Architects, Campbell Landscape Architecture, and Kempt Studio transformed the historic 1890s Haynes-Delashwah house into a stunning restaurant that celebrates both the building`s past and its vibrant future. The interior design thoughtfully preserves original elements like longleaf pine floors and restored stained-glass panels while incorporating modern touches like dark wood accents and cozy booth seating. Outside, the half-acre property comes alive with picnic tables, shaded patios, and mature oak trees that create an inviting community gathering space. Be sure to check it out!

The May 2025 market stats are in!
We’re seeing signs of a steady real estate market taking shape across the Austin area. Pending home sales are up, signaling renewed interest from buyers who had been holding off earlier this year. While affordability continues to play a major role, competitively priced homes—especially those in desirable neighborhoods—are still attracting strong offers, often with waived contingencies. Thoughtful preparation, staging, and pricing are helping sellers stand out. For buyers, more inventory means more options and room to negotiate. Whether you`re planning to buy or sell, this is a moment that calls for expert guidance and smart strategy. Central Texas remains a high-demand area—now it’s about navigating the market with clarity and confidence.
