From Stagnation to Transformation: Austin’s Dillar Schwartz Moves to eXp Realty

After more than a decade of success with Keller Williams, Dillar Schwartz knew something needed to change. Her team, The Dillar Group, had built a strong reputation in Austin’s competitive real estate market, closing $42.5 million in sales across 155 units in 2024. But despite the wins, Dillar felt like she had hit a wall.

“I had to stop talking about change and make the change,” she says.

So, in February 2025, Dillar took the leap to eXp Realty, bringing her five agents and a virtual assistant along for the ride. It wasn’t an overnight decision – she spent six months carefully weighing her options, looking for a brokerage that could give her team and clients more opportunities for growth, depth, innovation, and inspiration.

The Right Push at the Right Time

The turning point? In a conversation with Michelle Hendrix, an agent at eXp who wasn’t just pitching a brokerage, she showed Dillar exactly what was possible through her actions in the Austin real estate scene. 

“Michelle became the matchmaker who helped me see how impactful eXp can be when you’re plugged in the right way,” Dillar shares. “She met me exactly where I was, giving me the tools, connections, and energy I needed to move forward.”

Coaching and Mentoring Are Dillar’s Passions

Dillar has been a sought-after coach within Keller Williams and the real estate industry, serving as the Director of Operations and sales coach for three of the largest producing teams in Texas. She has mentored countless agents, led training programs, hosted a weekly interview series featuring top industry professionals, and coached high-producing teams through structured programs focused on growth and performance. 

“Throughout my career, I’ve always focused on helping agents grow and develop their confidence, through coaching, mentorship, or building sales teams.”

Bringing Visibility to Top Agents

Dillar is bringing a talented team to eXp, including Ola Thompson, a standout agent and investor in the Austin market. Ola is a two-time recipient of the Top 20 Black Realtors in Austin award from Austin Black Real Estate Professionals (ABREP). In 2024, she closed an impressive $11 million across 44 transactions. Dillar is committed to providing more visibility for top-producing agents like Thompson, ensuring they get the support and platform to thrive at eXp Realty.

“I’m bringing over a team of powerhouse agents,” Dillar said. “Ola is a force in this industry and one of the top Black brokers in Texas. I’m super excited about what’s to come.”

Dillar’s team includes a commercial agent and a Spanish-speaking agent, further broadening their reach and impact.  They cover a large portion of the area — expanding from Georgetown to New Braunfels and everywhere in between. 

“eXp is a big force in the local Austin market,” she says. “I truly believe we’re going to change this amazing city and create much larger opportunities.”

A Legacy of Leadership

Dillar’s track record speaks for itself. With accolades like #2 in transactions and #6 in income for Keller Williams SWMC in 2024, multiple Platinum Top 50 recognitions, and a seat at Gary Keller’s Top Agent Mastermind, she’s been a dominant force in Austin real estate for years.

Her specialties – residential sales, investing, flipping, and short-term rentals – position her as a well-rounded expert, and now, she’s looking forward to expanding her reach with eXp’s global network and cutting-edge resources.

More Than Just a Move

For Dillar, the shift to eXp wasn’t just about changing brokerages – it was about changing perspectives.

“This move aligns perfectly with my goal of looking at my business from a different angle to achieve massive success,” she says. “And I’m more excited than ever for the bigger world ahead.”  

With a fresh start, a new mindset, and the backing of a powerhouse brokerage, Dillar Schwartz and The Dillar Group are just getting started.
