Shirl's Reviews
7/8/21Dan R.
I am pleased to offer a recommendation on behalf of Mrs. Thornton. From the very beginning Shirl's expertise of the Market and her professionalism was evident. In addition, the listing process, photography session, and showing communications, and finally, the closing was absolutely flawless. Shirl was available for questions and her team was highly attentive to the sales process. Certainly, she is a credit to her profession and a valued asset for the area. I would most definitely use her again which is quite possibly the best referral.

We are so grateful to Shirl for helping us purchase our house. With this competitive market you need to know that you have the best person representing you. We always felt confident that she was looking after our interests. Shirl is very generous with her time and a real pleasure to work with. She was quick to respond to our questions and concerns. She listens and gives good advice. We appreciate that she is not afraid to give her honest opinion. She is an expert at the HSB market and all of the real estate process.
Thank you Shirl and staff for a job well done.

We discovered Shirl a couple years ago in our attempt to find a home in Horseshoe Bay. Over those 2 years, Shirl was always there for us, a few times in severe heat of summer. She is tireless, cheerful, and so knowledgeable about Horseshoe Bay, builders, neighborhoods and resources. We finally found a great home and Shirl made the whole transaction smooth and easy. She is a delightful human being and a great real estate professional!
