Though raised in the beautiful Lake Charles, Louisiana area, I spent many summers as a teen at our family vacation home in Bandera, Texas. I fell in love with Bandera and knew I would someday make it my home. Upon graduating high school, I came to Texas and attended Trinity University in San Antonio. After graduation, with a degree in business, I held several different corporate positions. However, I found that my true desire was to have my own business and to have it in Bandera. With that desire, I opened my real estate firm in the spring of 1981 and thanks to the fine people of Bandera and the surrounding counties, Guilott Realty, Inc. has enjoyed many successes over the years. I live happily just outside the city limits with my European born husband, Finn Rasmussen and our menagerie of animals.
For many years, Guilott Realty, Inc. has supported and continues to support numerous worthwhile charities and civic events. We believe it is imperative to give back all that is possible for the children and the future of Bandera, Texas.
I have served as President, Vice-President, Secretary/treasurer and a Board Member for the Bandera County Board of Realtors® and on the State Grievance Committee.
I am also a trained mediator and am a volunteer with the Hill Country Alternate Resolution Center located in Kerrville, Texas.
We have a great team of courteous professionals at your disposal, at any time, to meet all of your real estate needs.

After graduating from college with a degree in Business Administration, Rudy spent two years in the Army and upon discharge, moved to Bandera in 1959. A chance meeting with John Wayne led Rudy to a 14 year career in Hollywood as an actor/stuntman. He always said that some day Bandera would be his home again, so with the decline in popularity of western movies, he moved back to Bandera and in 1975 received his real estate license, specializing in farm and ranch sales.
Over the years, Rudy has broadened his field to handle all types of real estate. His experience led him to become sales manager over five different large subdivisions, including some in other counties outside of Bandera. With a real estate license dating from 1975 makes him one of the most experienced REALTORS in Bandera County. He still has contact with many of his celebrity friends, but his time now is devoted to helping others find the property of their dreams, so that they too can enjoy this wonderful area known as the Texas Hill Country.

Amy is originally from south Arkansas and has lived in Bandera for a year. Before moving to Bandera, she lived for 6 years in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota near Deadwood where she had a hunting dog kennel. Her mother, grandparents, and their families were all from east Texas so she feels like she’s come home.
Her son worked for the San Antonio Food Bank for almost 6 years before taking a position with America’s Second Harvest, the national food bank. He travels to most of the southern states visiting local food banks.
Amy has found that her 27 years of elementary teaching in Magnolia, Arkansas, has prepared her for the multi-tasking that is required in a busy realtor’s office. She enjoys meeting & greeting clients and working with the fantastic people at Guilott Realty, Inc.
