Webster Real Estate Agents

Libby Taft joins Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty this year where she brings her extraordinary business and client service experience to luxury real estate.

Her prior experience in the hospitality industry has taught Libby that personalized service and practices are paramount. Whether it is buying, selling, or leasing your home, she strives to exceed all expectations throughout the entire experience. While she primarily focuses on the Bay Area she also works with clients interested in the inner loop, where she called home for 20 years.

Raised in Baytown, TX, Libby was born with an imagination and ideas as big as her beloved home state. After moving to Houston to attend college, she worked in sales and marketing which led to a career with Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, where her love of all things event planning, travel, dining and, most importantly, people thrived.

Libby and her spouse, Lauren Taft, moved to Seabrook, TX in in the spring of 2021, where they are enjoying a slower pace of life on the water with their standard poodle, Axel. They are members of Lakewood Yacht Club and longtime advisory board members of Dress for Success Houston.

As a young adult I started a career in International Logistics quickly moving up the corporate ladder. Although I enjoyed the fast pace environment and learned a great deal, I decided to expand my horizons and pursued my interest in real estate. In 2002 I launched my career in residential real estate as an investor purchasing properties and managing a portfolio of residential leases. In 2008 I earned my real estate license and in 2012 I attained my real estate broker's license. Over the years my experience and expertise has been a driving factor in creating enduring relationships with my clients. Because of this I have a thriving network of client and business referrals. My goal is to provide exceptional service to each and every client I am blessed. My business is continuously growing, and I always have time for new clients.

Earning her real estate license in 2006, Kari had previously worked in the real estate industry for nearly a decade. Beginning in the title industry, while working for a real estate attorney in Virginia Beach where she grew up, she learned the techniques and strategies used by investors to acquire properties. After moving to Texas in 1998, it wasn't long before Kari began investing in real estate herself, purchasing both rentals and rehabilitation projects. Kari uses savvy negotiations and cutting-edge marketing strategies to join uncompromising integrity as the hallmark of her service. In 2019, Kari joined her husband Randy Barr in opening the new brokerage, Barr & Associates Real Estate, LLC. Their goal is simple: to foster the agent/client relationship. Giant brokerage houses focus on high volume and often diluted quality of service that often emphasizes the agent instead of the client. This is where their philosophy differs. For the Barr's, it's about building personal relationships. Thanks to her exceptionally loyal clientele, personal referrals and repeat business, Kari formed the foundation of her success. When not serving clients, Kari enjoys spending time with her family, the outdoors and cooking
