Joan Oelze is a top-producing broker associate and specializes in both primary residences and multi-family investment properties. She is a 21-year resident of the Heights and works primarily in the inner-loop and close-in neighborhoods of Houston. She has a special love and understanding of older homes and has the experience to guide customers through the purchase or sale of these specialized properties. She actively lists homes for sale AND represents buyers and has a strategic methodology to guide first-time buyers. About the older homes and neighborhoods, she says, "Transitioning urban neighborhoods can differ greatly from area to area, and even from block to block. If you are considering buying or selling an older home, make sure your agent has the experience to guide you through these very specific transactions. Of course, I hope it's ME, but if it's not, make sure the agent you pick has this kind of experience."
Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, I received my Bachelors degree there, and received my MBA in Toronto, Canada. I left the corporate world after 20 years in a high-tech industry, looking for a new and different challenge. Residential and commercial real estate is the next logical step on the professional ladder for me, since I have always wanted to help people make investment or change-choices of their own.
My promise is to share ideas, educate, and use my aptitude for numbers and technology to make a difference when you sell or buy. With the increasing number of new homes being built, the average person making a home change every 5 to 8 years, and businesses making changes to adapt to these new developments, there are a lot of opportunities to buy, sell and invest in real estate.
I continue to diversify in real estate making it easier for me to answer your questions and give you real advice. In 2012 I formed RockCenter Realty, as Broker Owner, after 8 years as a Realtor with a national company. I believe that one can do anything that one believes in.
RockCenter was my vision of strength; the Rock in the Center of the Universe. The image of a house built on a Rock never faltering.
I have been on the Boards of Directors of 2 major subdivisions, been Chairperson of the Fort Bend chapter of HAR for 2 years, assisted clients in becoming investors, have become an investor myself with properties providing retirement income, manage my own properties and my clients properties, and managed a condo Home Owners Association in Galveston, Texas.
I look forward to helping you sell or lease your house, condo, commercial property or land or help you to buy real estate, anywhere in Texas. Think Key! Every KEY begins with KAY!

I was raised in the South Texas town of Kingsville, home of the King Ranch (one of the worlds largest), about 50 miles Southwest of Corpus Christi.

While working with him, I also attended Texas A&M University-Kingsville, majoring in Finance and minoring in General Business. In May of 1983, I began my real estate career with a Texas Real Estate Sales license, and I attained my Texas Brokers License in February of 1986. I owned and managed my own real estate company in Kingsville. I was a Director on the local board of Realtors and served on several board-relat
Upon arriving in Houston in the late 1990's, I decided to settle in the Heights area. I enjoy Inner Loop living because it is close to everything I want and it offers a mix of older and newer home styles. I love to help people relocate!!

I stay informed and educated, and keep abreast of ever-changing real estate issues. I strive to provide good service and knowledgeable advice, which helps give my clients the tools they need to make their decisions. I take a personal interest in my clients and treat
My 33 years of experience has taught me greatly about home buying and selling, and has helped me to develop strong negotiating skills. My goal is to make the home buying/selling process easier and smoother for all parties involved. I want their experiences to be better than what my clients expected it would be.
My name is Suzanne Estrada and I grew up in Galveston, Texas. I've been working in real estate for 25+ years and enjoy every aspect of the business. While I am open to all areas of Galveston County, I am most familiar with the island. In fact, my favorite part of the city is midtown because of the history and architectural style.
I believe it is truly important to listen to your client's wants and needs. Working together we can locate the perfect home.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling to the east coast, spending time with family and friends - including Jazmine my 4 year old pug.
Let's get together soon and talk about real estate!
