Helen is backed by Coldwell Banker APEX REALTORS®, the #1 woman-owned Coldwell Banker franchise in the US and the 51st largest real estate company in the nation. Always dedicated to giving back, she is a member of the Austin Board of REALTORS® and the Williamson County Association of REALTORS®. She was honored for her high standards of excellence in 2001 when she was named REALTOR® of the Year in Williamson County. Against the backdrop of professional accomplishments is Helen’s love for Central Texas, her home base since growing up in Brenham — considered the state’s birthplace and often called the bluebonnet capital of Texas. That quintessential Lone Star upbringing involved hard work on the family’s ranch, giving her an unshakeable work ethic that remains a foundation of her business style. For 20 years, Helen led Coldwell Banker United, REALTORS® — one of the most successful and widely recognized residential real estate franchises in the country — in a variety of executive positions. From 2004 until December 2017, Helen served as the company president. She is a two-time cancer survivor, which Helen believes greatly enhanced her personal and professional life, leaving her with deep compassion and motivating a passion for community service. It’s no wonder that friends and colleagues alike sing her praises. Steve Barnes, a Houston real estate consultant and a former executive with Coldwell Banker United, considers Helen a role model. Her “empathy quotient,” he said, may only be rivaled by her technical acumen and follow through. Add to that an easygoing attitude that puts clients at ease on the way to a successful outcome. “Helen could have written the book, Customers For Life,” Steve said. With that endorsement, Helen looks forward to representing you in the sale of your Austin real estate needs. Call 512-784-6748 or email her at helenedwardscbu@gmail.com today!
