Tessa Lauritzen Osborn
Born and raised in Austin, Tessa Lauritzen has a love for all things local. Her lifelong experience of the city has afforded her a rich tapestry of knowledge of Austin’s communities and people. Her independence and ambition were stoked early on by her entrepreneur-father, who started and grew his music management company in Austin. The importance of supporting homegrown businesses is a value she practices in earnest.
Along with her local expertise, Tessa brings a flair for details and a genuine passion for her work as an assistant to Meredith Alderson. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies with an emphasis on corporate communications and a minor in business. In addition to her studies, she served as Public Relations chair, organized events, and ran social media for her college sorority.
With an appreciation for architecture and interior design and a service-oriented personality, a career in real estate felt precisely right for Tessa. She was bitten by the real estate bug after playing an integral part in real estate transactions for her parents over the past several years. She enjoys connecting with a diverse array of people in her work for clients. Nothing is more important than helping a client find a property they love. Tessa is excited to be working with Meredith to help serve their clients in the best way possible.
In her free time, you can find her walking her dog Ralphie around the hike and bike trail, cheering on the Texas Longhorns, and catching some live music at The Mohawk or ACL Live. Her love of music runs deep—she’s attended every Austin City Limits music festival since it started in 2002. Tessa also makes it a point to get to know the “new” Austin, often meeting up with friends to try new restaurants and venues. This Austinite also jumps at the chance to travel somewhere new, now and then.

Design Feature: Reimagining an Austin Landmark
Step inside one of Austin’s oldest homes, reimagined by @hsuoffice into a stunning fusion of heritage and modern design. Set on a rare 1.25-acre lot in Travis Heights, this 1851 gem tells a story nearly two centuries in the making. Hsu preserved the home’s original brick foundation and Victorian charm while adding glass-walled living spaces, a sculptural staircase, and even a rooftop widow’s walk with city views. Every corner reveals layers of history, from charred beams repurposed into a spa-like bathroom to fossils and artifacts discovered during restoration. Outside, native landscaping and a green-roof cabana create a serene, tucked-away retreat just steps from South Congress. It’s a breathtaking balance of preservation and progress - a living timeline of Austin itself.

Design Feature: East Austin’s Canyon-Inspired Modern Home
Step inside the Haskell Residence, a modern masterpiece by Minguell-McQuary Architects & Builders. This three-story home bends and flows like a natural formation, with curves, layers, and level changes that mimic canyon walls. Thoughtful design elements — from elevated patios that capture park views to netted indoor hammocks and a rooftop terrace — make every corner a discovery. It’s a home where light, landscape, and architecture come together in perfect harmony.
