Just wanted to say thank for everything. You have played such a big part in helping us get started in our new life together. You made it possible to find the perfect home for us. House hunting can be a trying experience but your patience, encouragement, laughter & sense of humor made it a fun process.

The sale of my house was smooth & easy thanks to you.

We are loving the longhorn cutting board. Lots of bar-b-queuing going on at the new Quinn Ranch!

And to top it off, you were our hero during the fire evacuation! Having a comfortable place for all our company to stay during a stressful situation was a real blessing. God was definitely working through you that day.

Thank you for being our realtor, our personal Red Cross Worker, and most of all our friend!

 

Love you always,

Tommy & Michelle

After renting vacation property for over 6 years the opportunity to purchase a condo was presented by Donna. The next 11 years of owning a condo & placing the condo in Donna’s rental pool were positive.  We found on both sides of the fence, as a customer then client, Donna presented herself in a professional manner with a positive attitude and fair solutions to any challenge. Through out the years we discussed with Donna on several occasions about the purchase of a Lake Home or land to build on. As a result of Donna’s professional guidance we purchased a waterfront lot & now live in our dream home. It is not often in life one finds a person whom takes care of business in a manner that makes a relationship involving money last for over two decades.

We appreciate the professionalism and guidance you have provided for us, as our realtor, over the past 12 years. We were referred to you by a friend who owned one of your rental properties. It did not take long for you to feel “our pulse” and needs and lead us to our first lake property in January 2000. From that original home, we have since purchased another home in the same area of the lake. You have had so much patience with us, showing us literally everything, until we finally made the decision to stay in a “lock and leave” situation. We love where we are on the lake and you were right on target that this fits our lifestyle. More than that, we appreciate that it was you who sold our other home in a timely fashion, even in a tough market. You have been our realtor and our friend for 12 years. We believe that because you live on Lake Travis, you understand Lake Travis.

Thank you,
Mark and Bonnie

As you know Becky and I started our Lake Travis experience in 1994 with rentals from you at Whitecliff. Now some 17 years later we have bought and sold many properties here in the Briarcliff area, all with some sort of assistance from you. It’s been our good fortune to have your expertise  and knowledge to help us along this journey. Though not all of our transactions have been “normal” we have always felt that you handled each and every sale with professionalism and a genuine desire to be fair. I  have sent many friends to you over the years and some of them too have found their spot on Lake Travis. I will continue to use your services and also send any others your way because I know you will treat them as well as you have Becky and I.

Sincerely,

Ron & Becky Kilby
