Ashley understands the meaning of commitment and dedication, exemplified not only in the two riding styles she has mastered (both English and Western), but equally in the level of service she gives to each client. Ashley believes finding Round Top Real Estate was all part of God's plan which is why ethics and honesty are, in her words, "a necessary component of every day." Working with Round Top Real Estate, she provides the best services possible for her clients, with emphasis on keeping them informed along every step of the process. A thorough knowledge of the local area adds to her expertise. For Ashley, working in real estate is most gratifying, knowing you've made a difference in someone's life; you've played a part in someone's search for that perfect place in the country.

Kyla Goebel grew up in Washington County and spent much of her childhood at her family's farm in Fayette County. She attended Texas A&M University after high school and graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Communications and Journalism. After purchasing her first home at the age of 22, she quickly became interested in the field of real estate and earned her license in 2016. She immediately fell in love with the profession and has been hard at work ever since! Kyla specializes in both residential and farm & ranch and will represent both buyers and sellers. Kyla is married to her husband Reese, and they have one son. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, running and spending time with her family. A perfect day starts with a hot cup of coffee (or three) and a sunrise, and ends with a beer and Bravo marathon on TV. She is a member of the Chamber of Commerce in Round Top, Carmine and Fayetteville, Texas Land Brokers Network, South Central Board of Realtors and recently joined the Texas Women's League of Fayette County. Kyla relies on her Christian faith and believes God has a plan for everyone – even when it comes to real estate!

"It's impossible to be in the country and be in a bad mood at the same time!" After leaving a 40-year career in banking in Houston, Lila joined Round Top Real Estate in late 2011. Lila is a native Houstonian and a graduate of the University of Houston. She has strong lifelong ties to the Round Top area and loves and appreciates all Round Top has to offer. Lila's great grandparents emigrated from Germany and settled in northern Fayette County. Her parents and grandparents were born and lived in the Round Top area. She is proud to now own a part of her grandparent's farm. Lila's husband, Barton, was born in Burton and grew up in the La Bahia community. They have one son, Phillip Brau Garlin, a graduate of the University of Kansas, who lives and works in Houston. Since Barton's retirement from Chevron Corporation, they have ranched on the family properties. The La Bahia property has been continuously owned by the family and kept in agricultural operation since the early 1870s, gaining it the proud recognition as a State of Texas Family Land Heritage property — a "Century Farm." Lila's history of the area and her love for this part of Texas gives her a unique perspective to share with her clients. Lila enjoys her association with several local organizations — The Sons of Hermann Round Top Lodge #151, the Round Top DYD Club, the Carmine Lions Club, the Republican Women of Fayette County, the La Bahia Turn Verein, the Navidad Valley Cattle Women, the Carmine Chamber of Commerce and the Walhalla Homemakers Club.

Whether looking to buy or sell country property, Linda is your agent. She is passionate about the country lifestyle and in finding the perfect farm or ranch for her clients or achieving the highest sales price for their property.

"Weekenders" in Round Top since 2003 when they first bought property, Linda and her husband decided to abandon their West University roots and become full-time country residents in 2015.

Her passion is assisting clients in finding the farm or ranch that is the best fit for their family. Whether her clients are seeking a primary residence or a second home, she is keenly aware of how important it is to find a tranquil and relaxing setting that is indicative of this beautiful area.

Over a period of 30 years, Linda worked in the oil and gas industry. She was an international oil trader for a major oil and gas company focusing on Latin America.

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.
