Tootie Lyons has been a Realtor since 1997. With life-long experiences associated with ranching and livestock, she brings a keen understanding of what is required when someone is interested in buying or selling country property.
"I grew up in southern Illinois in our family business of buying and selling Quarter Horses. My background serves me well in my chosen profession of real estate. Dad had a very strong work ethic and placed client needs above all else." Tootie's background includes time spent teaching secondary business education in Arizona. She co-owned a business that bred, raised, sold and exhibited nationally renowned cutting horses. In 2005, in tandem with her real estate career, she successfully developed a retail store in Brenham (Ranch Antiques) which she sold in 2010.
Her compendium of experience lends itself well to a career in real estate, and her success is underpinned by those earlier experiences, and her love of land, people and all things challenging. She does whatever it takes to find the right buyer for a client's listed property, or the right property for a customer in a search mode. Whether that entails research, due diligence, establishing value, dealing with the legalities, or negotiating, Tootie can be depended upon for her knowledge, attention to detail and caring concern. Proof of her success is in the fact that she has repeatedly represented, over her fifteen plus years in the business, numerous clients. "I love when a client relies on me to help them once again; it's a privilege to have their loyalty and trust," says Tootie.
Living on her own 17 acres near Independence, TX, Tootie continues to enjoy the country life that includes her two horses and small menagerie of other pets.
If you're seeking to enlist the services of a professional Realtor with stellar credentials, give Tootie a call.

"For over 175 years, people have made their way to Round Top. Perhaps that's why I never tire of watching clients find their own unique piece of history."

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.
