Round Top Real Estate Agents

"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.

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.

Pam Langford has all of the qualifications, talents and background needed to be the best possible Realtor. Over and above her past experience in accounting for an oil and gas company, Pam has spent the last two decades as the CEO of her household – that is, as a stay-at-home mom raising two now-grown children and developing invaluable skills that are assets for her clients – talents like organization, diplomacy, patience, commitment, negotiation and compromise.

Very active in her community, Pam can also add her work as a volunteer, in endeavors that require the ability to work around issues, get along with people and build compromise. As she notes, volunteering prepares you for unique challenges not often found in the normal work environment.

In the process, she has learned all of those important details, resources and support needed to fulfill the dreams of families she now helps as a Realtor – things like “must have” home features, neighborhood amenities and places of interest, area histories, which are the excellent schools, and where to find the best shopping, available sports, top notch recreational activities, nearest healthcare facilities, and so much more.

Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Pam moved to Plano, Texas in 1974 before settling in Houston in 1997. Having purchased and sold many homes, she knows from experience the ups and downs of the home selling/buying experience and believes that knowledge can be helpful to those relocating to Houston. “I would like prospective clients to know that I am on their side and will help guide them to their best decision,” says Pam.

About choosing a career in real estate, she adds, “I spent 21 years attending to the high calling of being a mom and wife, and instilling in my children that they can truly be whatever they desire. They are off to college with confidence and it was time for me to apply that same philosophy to myself, become a Realtor and help others achieve their goals.”

Pam and her husband, Tom, are residents of West University, which she believes is a very special place to live, but also love their weekend home in Round Top, Texas.

Helen's real estate roots run deep.Her family has been in real estate development for over fifty years. She has always taken an active part in the business.

Helen says you just cannot get real estate out of your blood. Helen and Fred have been married for over fifty years and he is retired from oil and gas exploration. They have two grown sons,a wonderful daughter-in-law and two terrific grandchildren.
