Introducing

American Luxury Estates Texas Edition

This inaugural edition brings together the most experienced team of real estate marketing professionals in the country as we present to you the premium properties of the area’s finest real estate brokers. Vicki Holland, Katy Sulester and Dick Lewis have joined me in creating a new brand that will deliver a three-phase marketing approach combining print, a counterpart digital publication and a sophisticated website to fulfill the needs of discriminating buyers and sellers. The Texas edition is one of five regional publications serving different areas of the United States, each to be published quarterly. The freshly designed pages herein explore the exceptional real estate offerings of the Lone Star State. Please join us as we travel from the lush green neighborhoods of the coastal plains in and around Houston to the unique and historic city of San Antonio with its charming Spanish and traditional architecture and on to the magnificent properties available in the state capital of Austin and the surrounding lake and hill country. We end our journey in the Metroplex area of the northern part of the state and visit Fort Worth, defined by its well-known epithet as being Where the West Begins. As a bonus, we will occasionally display properties from brokers in other parts of the country as a preview of superb offerings published in our editions in other market areas. We feel our timing is excellent. Leading indicators show that the real estate market is on the rebound after a significant downturn. Lenders are taking positive steps and both buyers and sellers are being realistic regarding pricing. We hope you enjoy this issue and we welcome your feedback.
