Your Gateway to Exceptional Country Properties
In 1988, the story of Round Top Real Estate began with Charlotte and Grover Hillbolt, who, having owned a farm in Round Top since 1962, laid the foundation for what would become a thriving real estate venture. Fast forward to today, the legacy continues under the ownership of a passionate trio dedicated to the idyllic charms of country living.
Frank Hillbolt, son of the founders, joined in 2002, while Lisa Mayer began her journey with the company in 1996. Lilla Blackburn-Sivek, a seasoned realtor from Houston, added her expertise after relocating to Round Top in 2008. Together, they help others discover the peace and belonging that comes with small-town life, all from their welcoming office on the Round Top courthouse square.
Each agent is a full-time resident and professional, deeply familiar with country properties including land, ag exemptions, and 1031 exchanges. They primarily serve Fayette, Austin, Colorado, Washington, and Lee counties.
The team’s unique perspective stems from personal ties to the region. Frank and Lilla spent childhood weekends here, and Lisa made Round Top home in 1982 when she married a fifth-generation Fayette County native. For this team, it is never just about closing a deal. It is about helping people feel at home.
Personalized care is a hallmark of Round Top Real Estate’s approach. The team understands the challenges of transitioning from urban to rural life, offering not only real estate guidance but also assistance in acclimating to the community. Round Top Real Estate sup ports many aspects of the community, including Festival Hill Institute, Round Top Family Library, Round Top-Carmine Education Foundation, ARTS for Rural Texas, Round Top-Warrenton Fire Department and Round Top Rifle Hall, among many others.
As more families seek space to breathe and grow, Round Top and its surrounding communities continue to bloom. The team sees it every day—children playing under wide skies, city dwellers rediscovering stillness, and new faces falling in love with the charm that first drew them here.
For those considering the move, Round Top Real Estate guides them through available listings that align with their family’s needs and desires. Round Top Real Estate does more than match people with properties. They help write the next chapter in a place that truly feels like home.
