I've had my Texas Real Estate license since the early 1980's, selling, listing and "flipping" residential properties in Houston, Tx. Fast forward over 40 years and now I have become a Top Producer selling Farm and Ranch properties as a Realtor with Round Top Real Estate, in Round Top, Texas. After we realized how peaceful the country life can be, we purchased acreage in Washington County, Texas between the small towns of Burton and Round Top. My husband of 41 years, Don Blome (who is also a licensed Tx Realtor) and our three adult children and 5 grandchildren enjoy sharing our stunning sunsets, the dark country skies, various wildlife, roaming the acreage in our CanAm and fishing in our pond. I specialize in 5 counties (Washington, Fayette, Austin, Colorado and Lee County). Each small town and community, are a great place to visit but even a better place to call home. Please let me help you find your special place in the country to call home as well.
