Don Cornett
Broker Associate

Accredited Land Consultant and
Past President -  South Central Board of Realtors
Secretary of The Texas Realtors Land Institute

I grew up on a farm in Kentucky, and was educated at Berea College and The University of Florida. I spent over three decades with a major corporation and have lived in many parts of the country, but about half of my career was based in Houston. I bought my first country property, near New Ulm in Austin County, in 1975, and have owned property in the area continuously since that time. Today I specialize in helping clients find their special place in the country, whether it is a large working ranch, or just a weekend place to relax and play. I am also active in helping my neighbors effectively market their property when they are ready to sell. For several years I have owned a registered cattle ranch at Frelsburg, in Colorado County, and have developed a deep appreciation for this area and its people. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your real estate needs and desires.  Land is my specialty.  I recently received the Accredited Land Consultant,  ALC, designation from Texas Realtor’s Land Institute.

Karen Mason

I have been a licensed Real Estate Agent in Texas since 2000, and joined Bill Johnson & Associates in 2002.  I am an active member and officer of the South Central Board of Realtors, member of the Realtors Land Institute and volunteer in many community activities.

My experiences growing up on a ranch in South Central Kansas have created my desire to specialize in Farm and Ranch Real Estate.  After living in Oklahoma, Argentina, the United Kingdom and Texas, I have chosen the Austin County area to be my home. Take  a meandering drive through the rolling hills of Austin, Colorado, Fayette and Washington Counties (long known as the “Houston Hamptons”) stopping along the way to shop, eat and learn about the history of the area, and you will understand my passion for our community.  The quality of life and the pace of living here, in addition to having the excitement of Houston, Austin and San Antonio in a day trip, is the ultimate living experience for my family.

I am a person of strong drive and integrity.  I won’t make promises I can’t keep, I won’t stop working to accomplish a goal, and I will listen with genuine interest and work diligently on your behalf, whether you are buying or selling a property.  References are available upon request.

Debbie Herring

Debbie Herring began her real estate career in Sugar Land specializing in fine homes and distinctive properties. She earned recognition for setting sales records each year for the largest and most expensive homes sold in Fort Bend County.

Her family purchased weekend property in New Ulm in 1998.

Providing customers and clients with the highest level of service with integrity is a long standing tradition with Bill Johnson and it is the standard that Debbie has always set for herself.
