About Williams and Trew

Prior to founding Williams Trew in 2000, Martha and Joan were real estate agents for Wm. Rigg Realtors, as well as shareholders of the company and its parent organization, The Rigg Group. After 15 years of independent success,  Williams Trew was acquired by Dallas-based residential real estate brokerage Ebby Halliday Real Estate Inc. The firm continues to be branded and conduct business under the name Williams Trew with the added appellation – an Ebby Halliday Real Estate company. Martha and Joan continue in their leadership positions with the firm.

Over the years, Martha and Joan have cultivated the respect of peers and establish a client base that spans generations. Williams Trew put in place a team concept that fosters a collaborative supportive environment, a concept that has helped make the company one of the most successful real estate firms in Fort Worth history
