Fredericksburg, Texas has a rich German history that continues to live on in a community that locals cherish and that visitors can’t resist (be careful visitors, you may set up residence here!).
Fredericksburg was founded on May 8, 1846 by German immigrants. On March 1, 1847, there was a peaceful negotiation between the immigrants and the Comanche Indians that allowed the German immigrants to farm the land outside the settlement, and the Comanches to come into town as they pleased. The Treaty also made a provision for grain and other necessities in return for game, honey, and other goods in times of hunger.
The peaceful foundation of Fredericksburg continues to be exhibited in our city slogan and the lesser known “hidden messages” in our street signs that welcomes all visitors.

When it was time to sell our house, Melynn Williams and Greg Oehler had a great, pragmatic approach to both pricing and staging our home for sale. It was an incredibly professional experience with a personal touch. Personally, I've known Greg for 13 years and I've always appreciated everything about him. That made him my first choice when it was time to sell our home.John Wilome
Phil Frey was very helpful in negotiating a deal on raw land near us in Fredericksburg. We desired a particular area/parcel, but the sellers were still in the process of subdividing it. So, it was a bit of a tricky negotiation/communication process. Phil stayed on top of it all and kept us in the loop on how everything was transpiring. In the end, we’re pleased with the land and the deal we made. We’d highly recommend Phil to others; he cares a lot about his clients and it shows.
Thank you.Sharon & Gary
