Tell Me About Tony Holt

Tony Holt is a certified Graduate Master Builder and a National Master Builder of the Year.  He’s a licensed Texas Realtor, an Energy Star Builder, and a Certified Green Professional Builder.

Tony has served as a Board Member of Texas Association of Builders, and as President of the Highland Lakes and Greater Austin, Lakeway, and Bee Caves Chapters of the Home Builders Associations. He has judged several luxury custom “Parade” home type competitions nationally.  As a winner of awards like Texas Custom Home Builder of the Year, Austin Custom Home Builder of the Year 6 times, and multiple Austin MAX Awards, Tony is seen as an industry leader.

A sense of serving your community initially brought Tony and Steve together, where they joined together for the first of 3 Benefit Homes, with profits being donated to charities like SAFE House/Center for Child Protection, the Lake Travis Youth Association, and the Lake Travis Education Foundation.

Tony has served on the board of organizations like Leadership Lake Travis, the Lake Travis Education Foundation, and as Zbranek & Holt, won the Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year.

Tony’s career didn’t begin in luxury custom home building, but rather followed a path of corporate management training out of college with Cintas Corp, followed by 12 intense  years at Dell Computers in Sales, Sales Management, and Corporate Project Management.  After a short break to enjoy the birth of their only child, Tony switched careers to home building, first with a local Lakeway area builder, then as Vice-President of Zbranek Custom Homes, and finally as partners of Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes.

Tony’s embrace of all things technical has evolved Zbranek & Holt into a virtual “paperless” company and one that uses technology to enhance the building experience for their clients.

In Tony’s available free time, you will find him outdoors, either holding a bow, a rod and reel, a camera, or an RC airplane.  More than likely followed by his girl, and English Lab.
