At the 25th anniversary bash celebrating Williams Trew, the longhorns weren\u2019t just part of the decor \u2014 they were the greeters.<\/p>\n

Stationed at the entrance to the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame<\/a>, Hoss, Rocky, and pint-sized crowd favorite Handsome Hank welcomed guests with WT25 \u201cbrands\u201d temporarily painted on their sides, making them instant photo-op favorites for attendees of the party earlier this summer (watch the IG recap video here<\/a>). Provided by local women-owned Lonesome Longhorn<\/a>, the trio set a perfect tone for an event that honored Fort Worth\u2019s rich heritage while adding a vibrant, modern twist.<\/p>\n

Held on June 25, the celebration marked a quarter-century of excellence for Williams Trew, a firm that has shaped Fort Worth real estate with integrity, heart, and an unshakable commitment to community. Over the past 25 years, the company has consistently supported organizations like The Cliburn, the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, Cook Children\u2019s Medical Center, the Presbyterian Night Shelter, and the Tarrant Area Food Bank, making service to the community just as foundational as service to their clients.<\/p>\n

Co-founded in 2000 by Martha Williams, the late Joan Trew, and Marshall Boyd, Williams Trew quickly became known for its boutique service, collaborative culture, and deep local knowledge. From first-time buyers to executive estate sellers, the company has been a trusted name in every corner of the market. Today, with over 125 agents and offices across Fort Worth and Parker County, Williams Trew leads many of the city\u2019s most competitive ZIP codes while staying true to its founding values.<\/p>\n

The venue \u2014 the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame, located at the Will Rogers Memorial Complex in the heart of Fort Worth\u2019s Cultural District \u2014 was a fitting stage for the celebration. The museum honors trailblazing women who shaped the West, making it a fitting locale to honor the legacies of founders Martha Williams and Joan Trew, whose impact on Fort Worth real estate and entrepreneurship remains indelible.<\/p>\n

Guests included agents and staff from Williams Trew, spouses, Ebby Halliday Companies leadership, and special guests \u2014 all dressed in their finest cowboy chic. A violin duo from Sapphire Strings (part of the Dallas String Quartet<\/a>), performed in the museum\u2019s entry hall, playing everything from Shania Twain\u2019s \u201cMan! I Feel Like a Woman\u201d to Gloria Gaynor\u2019s \u201cI Will Survive\u201d and Chappell Roan\u2019s \u201cPink Pony Club.\u201d While \u201cDallas\u201d may be in the name, performers Melissa and Val brought Fort Worth flair in spades, dazzling in cowboy hats, rhinestones, and black alligator belts topped with custom silver WT25 logo belt buckles.<\/p>\n

\"\"Electric violinists Melissa and Val of Sapphire Strings lit up the entry hall in cowboy hats, rhinestones, and custom WT25 belt buckles \u2014 proving Fort Worth flair pairs perfectly with high-voltage performance.<\/p>\n

From the moment guests arrived, the event radiated Fort Worth pride. Black WT25 logo tees on valet attendants from Rent A Frog<\/a>, sleek coordinating logo aprons for the bar staff from hometown favorite Teresa\u2019s Event Staffing<\/a>, and custom bandanas distributed to guests were all produced by Printed Threads<\/a>, another Fort Worth-based brand. Add in Daniel \u201cThe Magic Cowboy\u201d Wright from Fort Worth\u2019s W Durable Goods<\/a>, who chain-stitched guests\u2019 names onto custom bandanas in real time, and the night felt like a love letter to the city.<\/p>\n

Guests departed with those one-of-a-kind black-and-white WT25 bandanas, each one featuring Fort Worth iconography like the Stockyards sign, a Bass Hall angel, and a rodeo cowgirl. Unsurprisingly, many guests tied them on immediately.<\/p>\n

\"\"Attendees had their custom WT25 bandanas (inset) personalized by Daniel \u201cThe Magic Cowboy\u201d Wright of Fort Worth\u2019s W Durable Goods, who stitched names on-site with a vintage Singer machine.<\/p>\n

Midway through the evening, Carolyn McCann, sales leader at Williams Trew, shared some heartfelt remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a milestone \u2014 and a testament to Martha and Joan and the brand they built,\u201d she said, thanking the behind-the-scenes team and all the agents, past and present. \u201cYou are the reason Williams Trew is still the best in the business. Bar none.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCann then introduced co-founder Martha Williams, who closed with a warm toast to the company\u2019s legacy and future.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo tonight, let\u2019s raise our glass to a milestone 25 years,\u201d Williams said. \u201cWilliams Trew began with a vision \u2014 thanks to Marshall Boyd and Joan Trew \u2014 to bring integrity, excellence, and service to Fort Worth real estate. To our clients, our agents, and the relationships we\u2019ve built: you are the reason we\u2019re able to celebrate tonight. You\u2019ve built a legacy that will continue for many years to come. So here\u2019s a toast to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"WilliamsGuests raise their glasses in a celebratory toast following heartfelt remarks from Martha Williams, honoring 25 years of relationships, legacy, and Fort Worth real estate excellence.<\/p>\n

In the rotunda, silver-draped tables flanked large screens playing a rotating slideshow of Williams Trew memories: company milestones, community involvement, and clips from the firm\u2019s year-long social series where agents and staff describe what Williams Trew means to them<\/a> in just one word<\/a>. That same spirit echoed throughout the event, a celebration of a company deeply connected to its people and its city.<\/p>\n

The event was more than a party. It was a tribute to 25 years of shaping neighborhoods, building relationships, and blazing trails in Fort Worth real estate. Williams Trew isn\u2019t just part of the city\u2019s real estate history \u2014 it has helped define it. As the firm looks ahead, one thing is clear: the next 25 years will be just as bold, just as rooted in community, and just as uniquely Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
