Hunter Croan

About Hunter

Founder of The Lakefront Group and Broker Associate With Keller Williams Heritage

Hunter Croan founded The Lakefront Group in 2017 to do one thing well: help people buy and sell homes on the lakes and rivers of Central Texas. He has worked in real estate since 2006, holds a Texas real estate broker license, and is a Broker Associate with Keller Williams Heritage. Our team has been the #1 producing group at Keller Williams Heritage, the largest Keller Williams market center in the world, three years in a row.

About seven of every ten homes the team sells are on the water. The work runs from Lake McQueeney waterfront homes, Lake Dunlap waterfront homes, and Canyon Lake waterfront homes on the Guadalupe side to Lake LBJ waterfront homes, Lake Travis waterfront homes, and the rest of the Highland Lakes waterfront homes market. Hunter also founded our sister company, The Hill Country Luxury Group, for New Braunfels and Hill Country homes off the water.

Up to 35% of what the team sells is off-market or not widely advertised. Buyers who sign up for Lake House Alerts hear about off-market and pre-MLS waterfront listings early, and our post on why off-market access matters explains how that changes a search.

Clients have left the team 200+ verified five-star reviews across Google, Zillow, Facebook, and Realtor.com. More client testimonials are on our testimonials page.


Raised on Lake McQueeney, Living on Lake Dunlap

Hunter was raised on Lake McQueeney and has lived in almost every neighborhood on that lake. He later lived on Meadow Lake and Lake Placid, and today he lives on Lake Dunlap with his wife, Ashley, and their sons, Rylan and Zane. He grew up boating on Canyon Lake and floating the Guadalupe River, and he still boats Canyon and fishes and kayaks the lower Guadalupe.

As a young teenager during Lake McQueeney's hydrilla outbreak in the mid-1990s, he and a friend ran a hydrilla removal service, pulling the weed out by hand and with lake rakes. He won the 2003 Collegiate Wakeboard National Championship, performed in waterski and stunt shows at Sea World and Six Flags, and graduated from Texas A&M University in 2004 with a degree in marketing.

That history is why our team starts with the water: depth, lake rules, and how a property is actually used, before square footage.


HGTV, Press, and Production History

HGTV has featured Hunter twice. He appeared on Lakefront Bargain Hunt in "A Lone Star Lakehome," which aired September 21, 2014, and on the series premiere of Lakefront Bargain Hunt: Renovation, "Lone Star State Update," which aired April 15, 2017.

From 2008 through 2016 he was among the top individual producers at Keller Williams in New Braunfels, and the top individual producer in most of those years. Top Agent Magazine profiled him in December 2015, and the San Antonio Business Journal has included him on its lists of top residential real estate agents and teams every year from 2012 through 2025. The team ranked #1 in its category on those lists in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.

His past clients include Mark Willis, who was CEO of Keller Williams Realty International when Hunter sold his riverfront home and has been a repeat client since. His testimonial is on this page.
