Patty Gillean

Patty takes great pleasure in matching buyers and sellers in win-win transactions and there is no one more familiar with the Lake LBJ  and Highland Lakes area.

I’m a native Texan, a proud graduate of Texas A&M University, and a Central Texas resident for more than 45 years. Between us, my husband Dan and I have six daughters and are our nine grandchildren’s biggest advocates. Almost all live in Texas but a few have ventured off to pursue careers in other states. We’ve called Horseshoe Bay home since 1994 and made it permanent in 2005, so Lake living is not just a perk, it’s part of who we are.

Community has always mattered to me. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with CASA, Safeplace, Meals on Wheels, Special Olympics, Seton Austin, and Seton Highland Lakes. When I find a spare minute, you’ll usually find me needlepointing, tinkering on the piano, or trying to sneak in a game of mahjong.

After a successful career in technology and several rewarding years as a full-time mom, I decided to take a leap into real estate. I earned my sales license in 2007 and quickly discovered that this industry combines everything I love: people, problem-solving, and meaningful relationships.

Over the years, I’ve been honored to serve our profession in a variety of leadership roles. I was named Highland Lakes Association of Realtors REALTOR® of the Year and Director of the Year in 2012 and served as Association President in 2014. I currently serve on several committees for Texas Realtors including the Professional Standards Committee. I hold the Certified Residential Specialist designation, along with CLHMS, GRI, TRLP, and RSPS designations, and was selected as a semi-finalist for the Austin Area Platinum Top 50 more than once.

In 2025, I was deeply honored to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from our local Realtor® Board, a recognition that reflects not just years in the business, but relationships built on trust, care, and consistency.

I truly love this work, the people I serve, and the satisfaction that comes from doing things the right way. Helping clients navigate one of life’s biggest decisions is a privilege I never take lightly.
