I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Horseshoe Bay. Horseshoe Bay sits on Lake LBJ in the Texas Hill Country, split between the southeastern corner of Llano County and the southwestern corner of Burnet County, about six miles from Marble Falls. It’s a resort community first — built up around Horseshoe Bay Resort’s three golf courses — and that shapes what buying and selling here actually looks like compared to a typical suburban market.
What Working Here Requires
A lot of agents will list a home in Horseshoe Bay maybe once or twice a year. I work this market regularly, which matters because the inventory here isn’t standard: lakefront lots on Lake LBJ, golf-course-adjacent homes along Slick Rock, Ram Rock, or Apple Rock, and properties on Highland Haven and Applehead Island that come with their own HOA rules, dock permitting questions, and buyer pools that skew toward second homes and retirees. Pricing and marketing a property here means understanding all of that, not just running a standard comp report.
Depending on the exact address, Horseshoe Bay zones to either Llano ISD or Marble Falls ISD — worth confirming early if schools matter to your search, since it varies block to block near the county line.
TL;DR
- I’m a REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Horseshoe Bay, working buyers and sellers throughout Horseshoe Bay.
- Horseshoe Bay spans Llano and Burnet counties and zones to two different school districts depending on the address.
- The market here is resort-driven — golf course frontage, lake access, and second-home buyers all factor into pricing differently than a typical Austin suburb.
- I’m also a national real estate instructor, which keeps my negotiation and contract knowledge sharp for every client I represent here.
Why I Do This Work Nationally, Too
Outside of my own transactions, I teach other real estate agents around the country — contracts, negotiation, ethics, the fundamentals of doing this job well. It’s not a side project; it directly informs how I represent my own clients here in Horseshoe Bay. When something unusual comes up in a contract or a negotiation, I’ve usually already taught a class on it.
If you’re buying, selling, or just trying to figure out what your Horseshoe Bay property is worth right now, I’m happy to talk through it with no pressure attached.
