Austin VanScoyk

About

Austin VanScoyk is a real estate project expert and serial entrepreneur with more than fifteen years of experience starting, growing, investing in, and selling businesses across the Sun Belt. His executive, real estate, development, agricultural, and construction teams carry more than one hundred years of collective experience, which supports the developments he is actively building — including single-family housing, affordable multifamily, energy, and agriculture.

VanScoyk's work extends beyond real estate. One recent effort is a network of hearing-aid locations across the United States focused on improving accessibility and reducing the cost of hearing care. He has also worked on education initiatives aimed at reducing recidivism through higher education, with the goal of keeping families together and reducing the number of men in the prison system.

He gravitates toward pressing, intractable problems and looks to solve them with hard work, resilience, and technology. A consistent theme across his ventures is learning from other industries and applying those lessons in new ways — an approach he has used with repeated success.
