Austin Abel was raised in North Texas where he took any spare time he had and spent it outdoors with his dad. Since the age of thirteen, Austin has been surrounded by farm and ranch real estate, thanks to his dad.

To say she’s been in the trenches is an understatement. After buying, rehabilitating, and selling more than 40 properties from California to Colorado, Ann Abernethy understands, first-hand, the emotions, challenges and excitement that people experience when buying and selling property. Ann’s design eye has led her to re-imagine residential, commercial properties, and ranch developments both large and small from Los Angeles, Montecito, and the Santa Ynez Valley. Her transaction-rich background makes her no stranger to risk, which uniquely equips her to empathize with both buyers and sellers through the highs and lows that can accompany real estate transactions. Ann started her career as a broadcaster on live television, and has continued her passion for advertising and media throughout the evolution of advanced marketing and communication techniques, including all digital and social media platforms, targeting, and electronic messaging. Ann believes that even though we now have multiple channels and options for marketing, promoting a property is still all about telling the story, creating emotion, and capturing the imagination of the viewer. Married, with two grown children, Ann is an outdoor lover and avid hiker. After a successful television career in New York City, L.A. and other markets, Ann employed her on-air skills in the hosting and auctioneer capacity for numerous non-profit events throughout Santa Barbara. Ann and her husband share their time in Santa Barbara and Aspen, Colorado. The natural beauty of both California, and the Rocky Mountains, continue to inspire her interest in real estate. Ann is a connector and the host of “Women & Wine,” a quarterly networking forum for outstanding Aspen women. See video > “Working with Ann on finding your dream property/home is like working with that person in your life who knows exactly what you want! She found our dream home when nobody else saw it for us. She has such a vast amount of experience, it helps with not only the purchase, but the whole picture of turning your dreams in to reality. I wish I was buying something today so I could work with Ann again…it’s a homerun!” Julie and Jon Williams Montecito, CA “Ann is a wizard of sorts. She has the uncanny ability to take plain, weird or even disastrous properties and turn them into hip, beautiful, functional spaces that would make even Pintrest cry. She sees the potential in properties nobody else sees. That results in value as a buyer. She has a particular talent for color and tone, as it relates to emotion. This creates an air of calm in your space. Not to mention her brain for function. Each inch is thought through with practical every-day living in mind. The most amazing part is, she does this with a budget in mind. She is able to find unique and wonderful things that do not have to break the bank. I would simply be lost without her. Her properties are fantastic and the photos tell it all! I love my home, mostly because of Ann’s incredible eye and generous spirit. She is always willing to help and a joy to work with! You are nuts if you don’t call this amazing and kind lady–right now!” Nancy Kaney Tippy Top Ranch

Tim grew up in the small town of Cuero, in south Texas. His grandfather owned a fishing cabin in Port O’Connor and weekends were spent on the water where his dad would take him to chase trophy trout and redfish. At the age of 10, he started working on the J Carter Thomas Ranch, where his cousin was foreman. He was just big enough to reach the pedals of the hay truck and could barely lift the square bales of hay, but this is when he learned the value of a hard days work. Even while working shift work at a previous job that afforded him a lot of off days, he spent these days working cattle at the ranch. Some of his favorite memories were being horseback at daylight working cattle. Tim graduated from Sam Houston State University, with an Agriculture Business degree. He lives in Bryan/College Station with his wife and has two sons. Together, they hunt white tailed deer, hogs and turkey on the same ranch where he worked as a kid. Tim’s strong faith and sense of family has shaped the man he is today. Knowing and loving the Texas landscape and outdoors as Tim does, will serve his clients well either buying or selling their dream property.

At 21 years old, I went into a partnership with my dad and we built and opened a beer bar and restaurant called the Suds Hut. I owned that from 1968 thru 1981. During that time I also had an outfitting and guiding business taking hunters into the mountains for a week at a time. When I sold the bar, I went into the excavating business and subdividing of property which, of course, lead to the real estate in 1982 and I have been doing that ever since.
I have been a real estate broker since 1992 and have owned my own company all that time I have for 30 years specialized in farm and ranch sales, my largest single sale is 13 million and my largest sale to one client is 20 million.

Hobbies: I was a trap shooter for about 4 years and traveled into Canada and the western U.S. and, if I don’t say so myself, was pretty good. I also rodeoed as a “bulldogger “ [ steer wrestling] for about 8 years. Shooting is my main hobby though along with horse and mule packing into the backcountry. I used to ride snowmobiles a lot but now enjoy riding side by side 4 wheelers.
