77005 Real Estate Agents

My Real Estate career started in Austin, Texas (1984) with a developer who owned an exclusive mountain top development; what a great way to start!

1986 brought me to Houston, Texas. I worked in the real estate industry for the next 12 years, including 3 years with Lovett Custom Homes where I developed relationships with home-buyers, architects, bankers, subcontractors and Realtors.

Since 1998 I have successfully represented Buyers or Sellers in residential transactions for the purchase and selling of homes, townhomes, highrises and condos.

My goal is to build lifetime clients and friends; it has been an honor to be part of such a wonderful community. I look forward to working with you.

I love Houston!
