"I look forward to helping clients find their perfect property whether it be a home in town or a place in the country."

Round Top Real Estate welcomed Sherry Lynn Krenek to their team in 2018. She brings a unique set of qualities. Having grown up in Colorado County, her family made their living off the land in rice farming and cattle ranching. Sherry first entered the real estate banking industry in the mid '80s where she worked in the Real Estate Lending Department and assisted in the loan application process. She later became a real estate agent and worked for a boutique firm in Houston.

Her love for homes continued to grow and she soon found herself owning her own interior decorating business. Not only can she help you find the perfect property but perhaps she could assist in future renovations.

In 2005, Sherry broadened her horizon by learning more about the land, not only the surface but one's investment below the surface. She has extensive experience in oil and gas title research, mapping, leasing and curating title and is a member of the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL).

Sherry is a member of the Texas Association of Realtors (TAR), Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) and the Texas Land Brokers Network (TLBN). In addition, she is a lifetime committeeman of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and has served on the Breeders Greeters and International Committee for over two decades.

"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."

There's no doubt Lisa Mayer is a Texan ¬– inside and out! Her welcoming personality and love of the land come from her Grimes County roots, while husband, Monty, a 5th generation Fayette County resident, is not only her partner in life but that additional resource that adds unique insight to the area.

Lisa began her real estate career as a Sales Associate in 1986, while earning a BBA in Marketing from Texas A&M, and later obtained her broker license in 1988. She has proudly served multiple positions at the South Central Board of Realtors including president from 2011-2013. For the 2017 year, she served as the Board's Secretary. Lisa is a 2011 graduate of the Texas Realtors Leadership Program and was named as the South Central Board of Realtors Realtor of the Year in both 2011 and 2017. Lisa joined Round Top Real Estate in January 1996, and has consistently been a top producer.

Lisa loves helping others and making a positive difference. She has held numerous offices with the Carmine Lions Club, as well as a director of the Round Top Carmine ISD Education Foundation, director of the Round Top Family Library, and member of the Texas Women's League. The importance of family, a strong work ethic and community involvement are traits she and her husband are proud to pass on to their children, Claire and Adam.

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.
