Kathy is the Principal broker of Ivy Oaks Properties-a real estate company she started with her husband in 1975. They have been operating it in the City of Garden Ridge and surrounding areas ever since. Working with families over the past 36 years provided them with a wealth of information that informs their approach to land acquisition and development. They have been the primary creative force - from initial concept, through on site development, to successfully market multimillion dollar residential developments in San Antonio, New Braunfels, Garden Ridge and Horseshoe Bay, Texas. As a partners in Ivy Oaks Designs, Kathy and Jinny have developed a successful system to work with custom home clients on projects from beginning to end that maximize the beauty and functionality of their homes. "It is fun to work with Jinny. She has great energy, style and an extraordinary understanding of the nuts and bolts of construction. My 'east coast' background and classic design aesthetic blended with Jinny's more clean-lined, and colorful viewpoint results in some unique collaborations and some beautiful spaces."
