Shawn Gray

I am a native of the Frio Canyon and have deep roots here. My family has been involved in ranching and agriculture in Real and Uvalde Counties since the 19th century, at one time owning most of the land where Garner State Park is now located. After graduating from Leakey High School in 1985, I headed for the big city of Austin and received a BBA in Marketing from The University of Texas. I met my husband, Steve (an A&M graduate!) in Austin and we married in 1989. I spent 12 years happily employed as a high school teacher in the Round Rock ISD. When it came time for our oldest child to begin Kindergarten, we decided to make a change and headed for the Texas Hill Country. We have lived in Rio Frio since 2002 and just love the relaxed, peaceful, family oriented lifestyle this area affords. My family and I are members of the Leakey United Methodist Church. I am very active in my community and have served as a Leakey ISD School Board Trustee (3 terms) and a volunteer ambulance driver for the EMS. I have twice been elected as a Real County Commissioner and currently serve in that capacity. I'm a member of the Hill Country Alliance ( whose mission is to promote smart growth in the Texas Hill Country & preserve our natural resources ), Friends of the Frio, Friends of Garner and various other organizations. My second career as a REALTOR and owner of my own brokerage firm is a dream come true. I hold the Graduate, REALTOR Institute (GRI) designation, which means I have completed courses in specialized subjects including legal issues, finance, marketing, real estate investments, professional standards and environmental law. I also attained the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation. I continually strive to stay on top of my game by attending classes and obtaining training over and above that which is required to simply maintain a license. I do this in order to give my clients the expert, professional representation they deserve! The deep roots my family has planted here, my knowledge of real estate and the local area, plus the network of local resources and professionals that I have access to will all enable me to fulfill your needs. So give me a call. I know the area, I know the people, I know the market, and I want to know you!
