Ruby Dickulous: A Drag Diva in Real Estate
Long before the sparkle of Trixie Mattel’s Trixie Motel illuminated the real estate scene, Ruby Dickulous was already bringing her unique flair to Austin’s property market. A new face in the reality TV world, Ruby is not only a beloved drag queen but also a savvy real estate agent who has spent over a decade helping Austinites find their perfect homes.
From Comedy to Real Estate: A Unique Path
Ruby's journey began at home, where her mother's struggles as a realtor inspired her early interest in real estate. Born into a family that moved often, Ruby developed a love for helping others navigate the sometimes daunting home-buying process. “My dad was a lot like a gay man, always relocating,” she reflected, which cultivated her understanding of the housing world.
In 2011, Ruby obtained her real estate license, eventually becoming a staple in the Austin housing market, navigating sales from the bustling downtown to suburban areas like Leander and Round Rock. But her career is not just built on transactions; she wishes to bring an entertaining perspective to the industry, advocating for neighborhood joys and the appeal of unique homes.
The Economic Landscape: Opportunities in Challenges
Despite Austin’s rising costs making homeownership challenging for many, Ruby remains optimistic. “While some are upside down in their mortgages, this also opens avenues for buyers who have saved money to enter the market,” she noted. This perspective reflects the proactive approach that Ruby takes in her work, using real estate challenges as stepping stones for potential buyers.
A Reality Show Dream Realized
This June, Ruby completed a personal milestone by appearing on HGTV’s iconic show House Hunters, making history as the first-ever drag queen to grace the screen. Her episode, titled "The Queen of House Hunting in Austin, Texas," not only showcases Ruby’s vibrant personality but also brings visibility to the LGBTQ+ community in a space that often overlooks it.
Initially hesitant about diving into reality TV, Ruby’s devoted following and passion for her work led to this groundbreaking opportunity. She reflects, “Over time my life became the reality, and then it kind of happened when it happened.” Her appearance highlights the diverse stories that can unfold in house hunting, proving that anyone can share their unique journey on such platforms.
Celebrating Pride and Community
Ruby's story is woven into the fabric of Austin's culture. As Pride Month 2025 showcases the rich tapestry of the local LGBTQ+ community, her role serves as an inspiration, showing how diverse experiences can intersect and thrive. With her beauty brand and numerous community events, Ruby Dickulous is not only redefining real estate but also symbolizing the celebration of identity and community.
