The closing business became the perfect stage for his combination of real estate and business "street experience" as well as his caring interaction with buyers, sellers and agents. More than 10,000 closing transactions later, buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and mortgage companies refer to him as "Austin´s Favorite Closing Attorney". Wally´s passion and enthusiasm for people, business, real estate and sports is unparalleled. Wally & Brownie have been married since 1968 and have two daughters.  Daughter Kara and husband Matt have been recently blessed with a precious daughter whose name is Sadie Belle and Dana is carving her career path in the Big Apple as a marketing manager for the Origins division of Estee Lauder.
