Tiffany was raised in Industry, Texas, graduating from Bellville High School, and then earning her Bachelor of Arts from The University of Texas at Austin. After years of travel, Tiffany and her husband John decided to move to Austin County, so their four children could grow up living closer to their grandparents.



It is only fitting that Tiffany pursue a career in the housing industry. She grew up at The Shop, better known as P&S Building Supply, where she watched her parents, Everett and Sandy Schmidt, assist customers in the building process; and where she saw her grandfather, Eddie Pilcik, run his successful home construction business.



Not only is Tiffany an agent, she and John enjoy bringing life back into neglected and out dated properties. There isn't a house in too bad a shape for these two, they like the challenge! Tiffany welcomes the opportunity to find the perfect property for buyers, and assist in helping sellers receive top dollar in their transaction. She might not have all the answers yet, but she will get them for you. She prides herself in giving excellent customer service throughout the entire process.
