Kathy Barranco - Designer
Kathy McCarthy got to Texas because the Air Force said so. Her father’s career had taken her and her 10 siblings to England and many other cities in the US before the Randolph AFB assignment. Kathy finished high school and college at Incarnate Word, taught middle school students at Kirby Junior High for one year then married Captain Ben Barranco, a Chicago native, in 1972. She and Ben started their real estate and development business, Ivy Oaks Properties in 1975, and have been operating it in the City of Garden Ridge every since.

Working with families over the past 33 years provided a wealth of information about what they wanted, needed, could afford, and dreamed of finding in neighborhoods and houses. Trying to satisfy those needs wants and dreams while raising their three children has kept Ben, Kathy and Ivy Oaks Properties busy—most recently with the gated communities of Trophy Oaks and Wild Wind in Garden Ridge.

The opportunity to work with her daughter, Jinny on the design and consultation with builders on custom homes has been an exciting development in Kathy’s real estate career. “It is fun to work with my Texas born and bred child with her energy, style and extraordinary understanding of the nuts and bolts of construction. My “east coast” background, and classic design aesthetic blended with Jinny’s more clean-lined, and contemporary viewpoint results in some great conversations, and some beautiful spaces.”
