Decades of Service, Deep Community Roots

For Sarah Holmes, Business Development, working at Independence Title is more than just a job — it’s a front-row seat to the growth and evolution of Dripping Springs.

“I’ve been with Independence Title for 20 years,” Sarah shares. “It’s been so rewarding to be part of a growing community and learn about the infrastructure and services that support it… things like transportation, wastewater, and economic planning. We’re not just processing paperwork; we’re helping shape the future of where we live.”

What Sets Independence Title Apart

With so many years of experience in Dripping Springs and beyond, Independence Title has cultivated deep relationships that allow them to navigate even the most complex transactions. “We’ve seen it all,” Sarah says. “That experience makes us the best problem solvers in the business.”

Whether it’s a residential purchase, a commercial project, or farm and ranch land, their team has the expertise and connections to get deals done right — while providing clients with a seamless, stress-free experience.

Beyond Closings: Education and Partnership

Independence Title isn’t just about transactions; they’re about building relationships. Many of their clients have been with them since the beginning.

“We partner with our clients on education and marketing to help them grow their business,” Sarah explains. “By staying on top of industry changes and trends, we keep our agents informed and ahead of the curve.”

This proactive approach not only strengthens their client relationships but reinforces Independence Title’s reputation as a leader in Texas real estate.

Going Above and Beyond

One recent success story showcases the team’s dedication. A client had a multi-family listing on the market for nearly a year, complicated by multiple tenants. While on her way back from Europe, she received a cash offer — but the buyer wanted to close in just three days.

“Devon Morse stepped in and handled the entire transaction — reviewing leases, collecting documents, and getting it all closed and funded within the deadline,” Sarah recalls. “It was an incredible team effort that really highlighted how we go the extra mile.”

Proud to Call Dripping Springs Home

For Sarah and the Independence Title team, their favorite part of working in Dripping Springs is simple: the people.

“We get to know our clients, and they come back to us for repeat transactions,” Sarah says. “It’s such a small-town feel; I’ll meet new doctors, fellow parents at school, or business owners, only to discover they closed on their home with us. It’s like welcoming neighbors, over and over.”

When she’s not working, Sarah enjoys watching her daughter play volleyball, attending live concerts, and savoring local brews and spirits at Dripping Springs’ many breweries and distilleries.

Why DS Elite?

Sarah credits Dripping Springs Elite with helping foster connections across industries. “Being part of this group has elevated our business. It’s incredible to know I have friends in roofing, banking, inspections, and more — all people I see monthly and trust when those unexpected issues pop up in homeownership.”

Sarah’s Advice for Buyers

“Work with local people,” Sarah says. “When you partner with professionals who understand Hill Country properties, you get insider knowledge that keeps you informed and protected. It’s not just about a transaction — it’s about having trusted guides who know this community inside and out.”
