Investor-Focused Property Management in Central Austin

Myria Free is the co-founder and operating partner of Deep Spring Management, leading property operations, leasing strategy, and day-to-day portfolio management across Central Austin. She brings more than six years of real estate investment experience spanning acquisition, renovation, lease-up, and long-term stabilization of Class B and C residential and mixed-use assets. Her work has focused on value-add and operationally intensive properties requiring active oversight, renovation coordination, tenant transition strategy, and lease-up execution — including multifamily assets in Central Austin, as well as investor-owned single-family portfolios and disposition-driven projects across Central Texas. Prior to real estate, she built her foundation in operations and client-facing revenue roles in wireless communications and hospitality sales.

Jordan Suber is the co-founder and managing principal of Deep Spring Realty, bringing a decade of real estate experience across residential brokerage, commercial acquisitions, and investment strategy. He built one of Austin's top-producing agent teams before transitioning full-time into commercial real estate, where he sources multifamily, affordable housing, and self-storage assets across the Sunbelt. At Deep Spring, Jordan leads acquisition strategy, investor relations, and deal-sourcing infrastructure — with a focus on the I-35 corridor and the broader Texas Triangle.

Chris Ragland is the co-founder and principal of Deep Spring Realty, with more than two decades of experience in real estate and private capital. He previously served as COO and Partner at Noble Capital Group, overseeing multiple private funds and more than $1 billion in loan originations, before founding Ragland Realty and Management — a fully integrated brokerage, construction, and property management firm operating across Texas. At Deep Spring, Chris leads deal structuring, capital relationships, and the operational discipline that underpins every transaction.

Deep Spring is intentionally structured as a boutique property management firm. We focus on a limited number of assets in order to maintain direct involvement, consistent communication, and hands-on operational oversight.

We are not built to be a high-volume, ticket-based management company. Our model is designed for investors who value responsiveness, accountability, and strategic attention to their properties.

• Direct access to decision makers
• No call center structure
• Selective onboarding of new properties
• Focus on quality of management over quantity of doors

Central Austin is not a uniform market, and successful property management here requires more than broad market averages. Leasing timelines, tenant expectations, pricing strategy, and operational demands can shift significantly from one neighborhood to the next, especially across older Class B and C assets.

We focus on Central Austin because local knowledge directly impacts asset performance. Understanding how a Hyde Park duplex leases compared to a fourplex in North University or a small multifamily property in Crestview affects everything from renovation decisions to renewal strategy and vacancy timelines.

Our approach is informed by real operational experience in these neighborhoods:

• Managing older housing stock
• Coordinating renovations and turns
• Navigating high-turnover leasing cycles
• Working with reliable local vendors
• Understanding tenant expectations by submarket

Hyper-local operational knowledge is one of the biggest advantages a boutique management firm can provide. In our experience, successful management decisions are rarely made from a spreadsheet alone.
