I am Marianne Terrell and I like to do things the right way. 

I enjoy providing the right answers and advice to my clients. I begin by  providing customized steps for each client  to get their desired results.  I interact with each client in the way that is just right for them.  I help my clients find the right home for their own unique lifestyle.  I also help those who want to sell property make the right decisions to allow for  optimal pricing and sale.   I believe in doing things the right way ethically.  If I am the sort of real estate agent you would like to work with, please give me a call.

Catherine York's career began in New York City in the fashion industry. Since working with people has always been a passion of hers, being in luxury retail was a perfect match. Her retail clients expected a very high level of product knowledge and customer service. "I quickly learned what I needed to accomplish to make sure that my clients were satisfied. Simply stated, my philosophy as a Realtor® is not about how many homes I sell, but rather about making the seller or the buyer feel well informed and totally taken care of," says Catherine. Listening to clients and doing everything possible to achieve their goals is top on her list.

Catherine has worked with Caroline Schlemmer since 2013 as her Buyer's agent. Caroline and Catherine work in concert with their clients to ensure they are first in line to view a home, and if they choose to make an offer, they have proven techniques to ensure the offer is meaningful to the seller. "Our goal is to take the leg work and guesswork out of finding a new home and to help our clients make informed decisions in a timely manner." Since joining Caroline, the Team has earned #1 in sales for 2014-2016 for the Heights Office.

Originally from Oklahoma City, Catherine graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Retail. She played international soccer and was an active member of her sorority of Alpha Gamma Delta. Catherine is passionate about travel and feels it is vital in expanding one's knowledge and experience of other cultures. Her other interests include her beloved Maltese, Fiona, and mini Teddy bear Goldendoodle, Ruby. She lives in the Houston Heights with her husband, Ryan York and their two children.

After attending Kansas University (Go Rock Chalk Jay Hawks!) Jessi relocated to Houston to be closer to family and went on to pursue a career as a Jr. Broker for a natural gas firm. During the purchase of her first home with her husband, Jessi's interest in real estate ignited. Shortly after, she began her career as a licensed assistant to Jessica McCreary, after meeting Jessica through mutual friends. After a year of learning the business from her talented mentor, she chose to transition into working with Buyers. She thoroughly enjoys the opportunity that showing buyers affords her in knowing the Houston market area. Her client dedication and love of helping others are what motivate her most. Jessi is an accomplished buyer's agent who brings a strategic yet personable approach to the home buying process. Drawing from years of experience as a Purchasing Specialist, Jessi has built a reputation for her refreshingly friendly customer care and proven ability to guide buyers to obtain the best value for their dream home. She has extensive knowledge of the different market areas and neighborhoods across Houston. She serves the entire Houston area and specializes in home buying, investment properties, luxury homes, and multi-residential properties. As an experienced agent, Jessi understands that buying and selling is one of the biggest decisions in a client's life and views representation and guidance of her clients through this process as a true privilege. She firmly believes "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life!" In her free time, she, her husband and their two beautiful children enjoy getting out and experiencing all that this amazing city has to offer."
