Miranda Kinney
Miranda’s roots in real estate go back to the eighth grade, when her family moved to Austin from a small East Texas town so that she could attend St. Stephens School. Her mother, Teddy Kinney, a lifelong real estate investor, set out to learn the Austin real estate market through every means available: visiting open houses, looking at new construction, lake lots, acreage and all things related to real estate. Most of the time, Miranda accompanied her on these quests. Little did Miranda know then that she was sowing the seeds for a future career in real estate.
After earning a BA in Communications from St. Edwards University, Miranda worked as a college counselor in private technical schools. This work provided her the opportunity to help students find the programs that best suited their goals and to offer them guidance along the way. They came from every age group and every type of background, but they were all at pivotal moments in their lives when they were ready to make major changes.
Helping clients sell their homes or buy new ones brings her new opportunities to invest in other people’s goals and dreams and to help make them possible. Miranda has a unique ability to listen to what her clients are wanting to accomplish whether it’s assisting them in finding a first home, family home, investment property or if they are downsizing. Miranda understands the Austin market, she knows Austin and the surrounding areas and she is well connected throughout the real estate community.
When Miranda isn’t working with or for her clients she lives in Northwest Hills with her husband Jason McKnight and her two young daughters. Miranda enjoys spending time with her family and friends and she loves this wonderful city and the life that it affords us all.

“Miranda is fantastic! I’ve worked with her both buying and selling a property. Her knowledge of the market and help to guide me through the process have been invaluable. She has experience with varying contract needs and was able to help facilitate my specific needs around closing. I will continue to look to her in the future for my real estate needs.”
“I have worked with Miranda selling a home, purchasing two homes, and would utilize her skills if we were to sell our dream home down the road. Not only does she have extensive knowledge and being a part of the history of this city; she is good with pricing, helps understand the value of comps, and her natural gift with real estate allowed me to enjoy and trust the extremely stressful experiences of home purchasing/selling in the Austin economy.

“Miranda is the best! My husband and I decided to buy a new build, and Miranda not only helped us find the perfect development for our family, she helped us find the perfect lot! Miranda was with us every step of the way with the new build, even accompanying us to the style center to help pick out all our finishes!
Once we locked down all aspects of our new build, Miranda had her work cut out for her selling our old home. She timed it out perfectly! Putting our house on the market at exactly the right time to transition into the new build, without having to find a rental in between! She told us to go away for the weekend and she’d sell our house! We left Friday morning and by Sunday night, had 10 offers all over asking! We couldn’t be happier with how smoothly this process has gone for us, thanks to Miranda! She is an absolute pleasure, a gem of a person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to any family or friends!”
