Do you like a good scare? If you are searching for the scariest and most thrilling haunted houses in central Texas, look no further. I’ll admit, you won’t be seeing me at any of these attractions! I’ll stick to the kiddie versions and pumpkin patches.

Austin Ghost Tours
Austin Ghost Tours began walking the streets and telling the stories of downtown Austin over 20 years ago. We are always surprised and welcoming of the many spirits, old and new, that choose to follow along and listen. 50 percent of the people reading this or taking a tour have had the experience that they believe is a ghost. This is a fun, family and pet-friendly, spooky adventure. Reservations Required.

Blood Over Texas: Horror for the Holidays 10 / Holiday Expo
November 21 & 22, 2026
Hilton Hotel in Downtown Austin
This Expo is the biggest and longest running horror-themed holiday event in Austin. Started as a shopping market in 2014, our vendors will always be the heart of HFTH. Along the way, we’ve added tons of attractions to add to the weekend of horror fun. Making it more of a unique “horror experience” rather than a giant convention. We have always been focused on our local community and it’s become an Austin tradition for horror fans. Come and shop till you drop, meet some horror icons, get your pic with Evil Santa, watch the Krampus Parade, take a spooky craft class, enjoy our Film Festival and hang out with your fellow fiends. Our new move to a hotel will offer a level of horror camaraderie that will make memories for years to come. Made for horror fans by horror fans.

We had such a great experience working with Christina and Stephanie. As Cedar Park experts, they really know the market, and since we already had our next home lined up, timing was everything for us. They came in with a clear plan and helped us get our home show-ready with staging, prep, and great vendor recommendations. Their attention to detail and marketing really paid off—we went under contract in just 24 days, even over the holidays! They made the whole process feel easy and far less stressful than we expected. Highly recommend if you want a team that’s knowledgeable, proactive, and truly invested in getting results.

Christina has a wealth of knowledge about the city of Cedar Park and surrounding area. Not only does she work hard for her clients, but also for the residents of Cedar Park through her volunteer work. Not only will she get you into the home of your dreams, she will continue to work to improve your community.

Victoria Rios

Christina and Stephanie were incredible and I cannot recommend them enough! My husband and I were first time home buyers and we had little knowledge on the whole process. These ladies took us through every step while answering any and all questions we had. They were incredibly flexible and accommodating to our work schedules for viewings and even helped us handle processes while we were away on vacation. They are very knowledgeable on the market, homes, and huge advocates for us during our closing process. They really took the time to learn and understand what we were looking for in a home for our growing family. I cannot thank them enough for making the home buying process smooth and educational. 10/10 experience

Devyn Lennon

Stephanie is exceptional in her work! I put my full trust into her and she did not disappoint! Stephanie made the whole process of renting seamless for me. Her knowledge was impeccable and she cared for the selection of place and area as if i was her own family member and for that I'm forever thankful. I will definitely be using Stephanies help on all my future home rentals! (She even gifted me the cutest front door mat that matched my street name) i mean c’mon i love her!

Layla Rodriguez

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with our Stephanie. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to understand exactly what we were looking for. She took the time to find the perfect locations that truly matched our needs and preferences. Her knowledge, dedication, and attention to detail was amazing and she literally found the perfect place for me and my roomie! She was always very responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about helping us find the right and safe home, not just any home. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or rent!!!! She truly makes the experience smooth and enjoyable!

Lori McGathy

I highly recommend Christina and Stephanie for any of your real estate needs. Our home sold quickly during a normally slow time of year. They gave great advice on staging, did diligent research to determine the sales price, held multiple open houses, followed up promptly on all showings, and were even able to salvage the deal when our buyer decided to terminate the contract. There are lots of realtors out there, but Christina and Stephanie are a cut above the rest!

Maria Alcaino

Christina and Stephanie are literally the BEST in the business. We just built our dream custom home in Liberty Hill and they made this process the easiest! From start to finish, that were available to answer all our questions, join us for all our building meetings and even help us at the design center for Perry Homes. I've recommended them to anyone who ever wants to move to Central Texas. My in-laws have used them and we are repeat clients. You'll be in great hands with them!

Ginny Dalton

Christina Legrand did an exceptional job representing us during our recent move from another state. She answered our endless questions, gave valuable insight into our home search and had an excellent strategy for the offer we submitted. We are delighted with our new home and would highly recommend Christina to anyone needing realty services.

William Hines

Bottom line: These women DELIVER! Such an experienced professional and creative team. We sold for MORE than we thought possible in this challenging market. We trusted their judgement and recommendations and they paid off. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
