About Ann Bishop

Ann Bishop's story is one of deep roots, unwavering commitment, and a lifelong passion for real estate. Born in Wichita Falls, Ann spent her formative years in the Clay County area before establishing herself as a lifelong resident of her beloved hometown. Her early education at Ben Franklin Elementary, Zundy Junior High, and Wichita Falls Senior High laid the groundwork for a bright future, while her time at the University of Houston not only broadened her horizons but also introduced her to her future partner in life and business, Denny Bishop.

Growing up, Ann was profoundly influenced by her father, Paul Dowdy-dedicated farmer, rancher, businessman, and Realtor who set a high standard in selling farms and ranches. His strong work ethic and business acumen naturally inspired Ann, paving the way for her decision to pursue a career in real estate after raising her two children, Debbie Gustafson and Den Bishop.

In 1983, Ann officially embarked on her real estate journey by obtaining her real estate license, later earning her Broker's license- significant milestone that solidified her expertise in the field. Her commitment to excellence quickly became evident as she built a successful career, and in 1986, Denny joined her in her real estate endeavors. Together, they opened Bishop Realtor Group in 1990, a venture that would become a cornerstone of the Wichita Falls community.

Ann's career is decorated with numerous awards and achievements that underscore her dedication and leadership. In 1999, she was honored with the Wichita Falls Association of Realtors Distinguished Service Award and served as President of the Association, demonstrating her commitment to elevating industry standards. Her excellence continued to shine through when she received the Wichita Falls Association of Realtors Silver Service Award in 2012. Moreover, Ann and Denny's collaborative spirit was recognized in 1993 when they were awarded the Re/Max of Texas #1 Team in production. Their community involvement is equally impressive-Bishop Realtor Group received the Certification of Recognition from the American Cancer Society in 2004 as leaders of the Cattle Barons' Ball in Wichita Falls, and they were also acknowledged as the largest small business team participant in the Race for the Cure.

Today, Ann Bishop is celebrated not only for her extensive knowledge of the local market but also for her genuine dedication to her clients. With a legacy built on family values, strong work ethics, and a love for Wichita Falls, Ann continues to make a lasting impact in the world of real estate, helping families find their perfect place to call home.
