Amy Thedinger
Compass RE Texas, LLC - Houston
About Amy

Iowa was the state I called home throughout my childhood. Good values, good neighbors and I feel fortunate to have had a Midwest upbringing.

With a lot of connections to Texas through family, education, business and long time friends, my goal eventually centered on becoming part of the greater Houston community. In 2005, I was fortunate enough to move, with my family of five children, to the Woodlands, Texas. Aside from raising a large family and all that entails, I wanted to be involved in the local projects that benefit those that needed a "hand up". I decided my focus would be on charities and family funding raising opportunities, and I have been involved in Angel Tree and Montgomery County Women's Shelter/Youth Services for many years.

I have dabbled in home renovations up until 4 years ago, when I decided to further my career and obtain my Real Estate license. Since then I have had the honor of representing first time buyers/sellers, luxury buyers/sellers, repeat clients and referrals.

A few of my accomplishments include: Top Individual Listing Agent in Brokerage, Top 10 in Closed Volume, Top 10 in Listing Volume and Top 10 in Listing Units.

Our team is here and ready to take care of you in every way. We thank you for you business and appreciate your referrals!

What a joy it is to serve our Houston community and to call the The Woodlands "home".

Barbara Vaughn
Barbara Vaughn Properties
About Barbara

Barbara strives to be the ‘best’ at everything she does. She recently earned her EcoBroker license in an attempt to stay current on the topics that are relevant to today’s home buyers and sellers.

“My goal is to help sellers market the increased value of their homes with energy efficiency and environmental features and assist buyers in creating more purchasing power through energy-efficient mortgages and other programs,” says Barbara. “Realtors also come face-to-face with environmental issues, like radon, asbestos, water quality, mold, and other environmental challenges, and my EcoBroker training has given me a better understanding of the liabilities these issues create, how to reduce these liabilities for my clients, and how to keep deals together whenever possible.”

This Toronto native has always thrived on challenges and helping people deal with critical issues and situations. For many years, she worked as a pediatric nurse, specializing in neonatal intensive care. “I worked with premature babies with all kinds of diagnosis, from chromosomal disorders to genetic conditions, but my goal was always the same...to find a way to get each baby home.”

As rewarding as nursing was, Barbara had always wanted to become a Realtor, and when the right time came, she gave it everything she had...and then some and became a Broker.

“I’m thrilled with my career, and I bring my same level of compassion, determination and love for people that I brought to nursing,” says Barbara. “Helping people make intelligent real estate choices is something I enjoy and find so fulfilling.”
