The Cochrane Boys
With a real estate journey that began in 1990 during my junior year at UT, I founded Campus & Central Properties in 1996. Over the years, my sons Chase and Lucas joined in 1998 and 2000, becoming integral to absorbing the wealth of real estate knowledge. Now, 22 years later, our dynamic team stands as a pinnacle of experience in UT campus and central Austin real estate.
