What clients have shared ABOUT ME:

Making the decision to sell our home came with uncertainty and anxiety. We were recommended to Mike Taylor with RE/MAX Compass who answered our questions and helped put my wife and I at ease. Our home was placed on the market within a week of speaking with Mike's team and several generous offers were received within 24 hours. As sellers, we are grateful for the professional service and expertise of Mike Taylor with RE/MAX Compass.

We cannot thank Mike enough for helping us find our dream home. When introduced to Mike through a mutual friend, he immediately calmed my anxieties about purchasing my first home. He always answered my questions and addressed my concerns. I'm now a proud homeowner! Our appreciation is extended to Mike Taylor and his team!

We are very pleased with the real estate service rendered by Mike Taylor and team! Their attention to detail and responsiveness made our home purchase process seamless. THANK YOU!

As we prepared to purchase our dream home, Mike Taylor sold our previous home and helped us navigate through the construction process of our future home. With our demanding work schedules, we are grateful to Mike for making our home selling and purchasing process effortless. We love our new home!

As a newcomer to Houston, I was unaware of the real estate market and ideal places to live that would meet my lifestyle. Mike Taylor and his team helped me find an apartment within my budget and close proximity to my office that I called my temporary home. Fast forward six months, Mike Taylor and his team helped me find my permanent home. Thank you for making my transition to Houston pleasant!

It could be said that either, you have a passion for real estate or you simply don't. Without a shadow of doubt, Richard has that passion. He achieved is first real estate license at the age of 18 years old in Johannesburg South Africa. Ever since getting his license, all he has known is residential real estate. Evidence of this, are the best listing and best selling awards he has received in his early years. His passion and energy has served him well. By the age of 21 years old, he was managing an estate agency consisting of 25 experienced estate agents. But that was not enough, with a bold vision and an idea, he decided to go into partnership and start his own residential brokerage in 2009. During this time, Richard earned the esteemed designation of Master Practitioner in Real Estate. He successfully grew the business into a leading estate agency in Alberton & Johannesburg South area in South Africa.

By 2017 a new challenge was calling. He founded Stratton Real Estate in Johannesburg. The business quickly grew into a successful boutique brokerage, which delivered a more personal "white-glove" experience. In 2019, Richard immigrated to Houston Texas, and instantly fell in love with the city and its people. They say, "you might not have been born in Texas, but you got here as quick as you could." For Richard, this is true. He is always very excited to show new comers to Houston why this is the best place for them and their family. Richard's ability to succeed and become a leading estate agent can be attributed to some key traits which makes him stand out from the crowd, namely his high energy, caring, friendly and compassionate nature. When you couple this with his relentless drive, attention to detail, along with a winning, "can do" attitude, you have a uniquely dynamic and qualified property professional, who will guide you to realize, your real estate goals. When Richard is not shaking up the Houston residential property market, he is spending his time with is beautiful wife Roxanne. Richard's guilty pleasure is Tex-Mex, Texas BBQ and desserts. So if you like good food, just ask Richard where the best restaurants are. Richard is a big sport fans. Growing up just outside of Newcastle, England, he is a huge Newcastle United fan, and he is also a big Rugby fan and not to mention an enthusiastic Texans fan. Richard always welcomes a little friendly banter from opposing sports fans.

Choosing the right real estate agent to represent your interests is critical to finding success in this or any market. My goal is to earn a client for life, so my focus is always on the needs and wants of my client. To stay the best in the business, I continually pursue the most updated information, trends and knowledge in the field. In addition, I have created a team that acts as a well oiled machine -- each member working together to give you the highest level of service. But it takes more than keen skill and knowledge to be a great realtor. It takes compassion, understanding, patience, and heart. I believe that houses and apartments are more than just bricks and mortar; they represent dreams and aspirations. Call me and we can explore how I can help you attain yours.
