Marc is a luxury real estate agent that has an unmatched passion for the business. He is an immigrant turned American Citizen from Germany, having lived in Europe until he was 12 years old. Work opportunities for his parents allowed Marc the opportunity to move to the United States, specifically Houston, Texas where he quickly adapted to a new culture and finished high school at Clear Lake High. Clear Lake is an area southeast of Houston near the Johnson Space Center. After high school, Marc had ambitions of becoming an electrical engineer with a focus also on business. He attended Texas Tech University and successfully obtained a Degree in Electrical Engineering and also a Math and Business Minor. During this time is when Marc developed a passion for business and investing, particularly in real estate. Once out of college, Marc joined multiple investor groups where he found his true calling. He quickly bought his first home as an investment property and never looked back. Being involved in his very own deals gave him empathy and understanding of what it feels like during the process of buying a home. This helped translate over to his clients when he decided to pursue his real estate license and help others with their dreams of homeownership. Today Marc has helped many clients buy and sell their homes. Having obtained his Master Certified Negotiation Expert® designation, it puts him in the top 0.3% of all Realtors® when it comes to negotiating a deal. He was Rookie of the Year in his first year. Marc absolutely loves what he does. He enjoys going above and beyond his client's expectations and does whatever he possibly can to help them either sell their current home for the most money and fastest time or find the home of their dreams at a great deal. He once had 10,000lbs of snow blown in a front yard to drive attendance at an open house. It was crazy but he had huge success. Marc loves standing out and doing things differently to create a buzz.

A detail-oriented, technologically-savvy self-starter, Emily Vidor Porter began her real estate career with a plan. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Emily was on track for law school but soon realized she needed to change course. "I worked for an oil and gas law firm and quickly realized that a desk job was not for me," she says.

"The inner-loop has always been such an active real estate sales hub and growing up there exposed me to the excitement of the market from an early age," she says.

Honest and forthright, Emily delivers honesty to her clients. "I do not hold back my opinions because the truth is in the best interest of my clients." She enjoys guiding first-time buyers on a huge milestone in their lives and assisting sellers on how to make-ready their home to make a great first impression on the market. No matter who, what, where or when, Emily is extremely goal oriented, providing her clients first class, top notch service from start to finish! One client stated that "Emily went way beyond in absolutely every aspect of our deal experience. Communication, responsiveness, fact finding, research, attention to detail are all off the charts. Not everyone in this business is like this and that is what sets Emily apart from the pack."

In addition, Emily loves to also volunteer with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo where she has served on the Souvenir committee and now currently serving on the Breeders Greeters committee.
