Kumara Wilcoxon Buys Pemberton Home After Legal Dispute

A top Austin real estate agent recently bought a luxury home that asked $9 million while playing a part in a high-flying feud.

Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty agent Kumara Wilcoxon, Austin’s top residential agent by sales volume, bought the home at 2601 Wooldridge Drive this month from the Tynberg Family Living Trust, according to public records. The sale price wasn’t disclosed, but the family had listed the property for $9 million, according to online listing portals. The listing played a part in a dispute between Wilcoxon and Amy Deane, a highly ranked agent at Moreland Properties.

The Tynberg Family Living Trust, led by Alexander Tynberg and Elizabeth Donovan Tynberg, listed the home briefly in the fall of 2025 and put it back on the market in February for $9 million. Occupying a corner lot in Pemberton Heights, one of Austin’s wealthiest neighborhoods, the Spanish-style 6,600-square-foot home was originally built in 2011 for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who at that time was the Texas attorney general, according to the chain of title. Deane had the listing.

Wilcoxon toured the home while she was representing another property at 3400 Foothill Terrace, a Mediterranean villa listed by Mary Stanley for $9.5 million, according to a formal complaint that Deane filed with the Texas Real Estate Commission and shared with The Real Deal. During the visit, Deane alleged, Wilcoxon expressed a personal interest in buying her own listing on Foothill Terrace.

At the time, Deane represented clients who wanted to buy the Foothill Terrace home. Deane sent Wilcoxon two full-price offers, but Wilcoxon did not present them to her seller, according to Deane’s complaint and a summary of events recounted in a letter that TREC provided to TRD in response to a public information request.

In her complaint, Deane accused Wilcoxon of withholding material facts, a violation of the Texas Real Estate License Act. After the home eventually sold for $8.4 million, well under its asking price, the Stanley family also considered legal action against Wilcoxon’s brokerage, according to Deane’s complaint.

Deane asked for a response to her first offer within three hours, and she rescinded her second offer in less than four hours, according to TREC.

After an investigation, TREC decided not to pursue formal disciplinary action against Wilcoxon due to insufficient evidence that she meant to withhold material information, according to a letter sent to Wilcoxon and her broker, Harry Kuper. Because Deane made and withdrew two separate offers within a short time period, Wilcoxon may have considered the exchange immaterial, the commission found.

“Although we will not proceed with formal disciplinary action on this matter, we are concerned about Ms. Kumara Wilcoxon’s conduct as it relates to the incidents that were the subject of this complaint,” an attorney for the agency wrote in the letter.

Wilcoxon brokered 36 deals for $327.5 million in sales volume last year, putting her in first place for public sales volume among Austin residential agents, according to RealTrends. Deane transacted $173.5 million, ranking fourth citywide. Both are members of Elite 25, a group that recognizes the top 0.25 percent of Austin luxury agents.

Based on last year’s numbers, both sales may prove to be among Austin’s biggest residential deals of 2026. Five of the top 10 most expensive Austin-area homes that sold publicly in 2025 asked less than $9 million.

TRD reached out to Wilcoxon, Deane and Kuper with requests for comment.
