Maria Grant-Bormann has been a licensed Realtor since 2008 and has already earned million-dollar producer status twice. No doubt, her ability to work well with people and her eagerness to please her clients is crucial to the stellar results she has received. Add in her designations as an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR), and Certified Home Marketing Specialist (CHMS), and it is clear that Maria is a Realtor who stands out in the crowd.

Maria feels that clients who most benefit from her services are those who are looking for farms and ranches in the country, especially if they enjoy and ride horses. Why this area of specialty? She believes her experience as a horsewoman and competitor is an added value. She is also bilingual in English and Spanish and welcomes the opportunity to work with Spanish-speaking clients.

A former international missionary and commercial flight attendant, Maria chose what she calls the challenging but rewarding real estate profession as a career because, as an investor in several country properties, she wanted to learn more about the business and earn extra money. She feels she brings a unique perspective and upbeat personality, with a “Latin flavor,” to the profession.

She describes herself as caring, kind, tenacious, feisty, positive, friendly and hard working. Customer service is her top priority and the transforming of clients into raving fans is her ultimate goal.

Born in El Salvador, along with her teenage sister, Maria was adopted at the age of 14 by a family in Maine. She now makes her home in Brenham, Texas, and is the mother of a beautiful daughter named Mariah.

In her spare time, she enjoys playing soccer, horseback riding, cooking and reading Christian books. Because she feels so blessed to have been adopted herself, orphan ministry is her passion. She wants to be a voice for orphans and supports several orphanages in Central America.

I have been practicing Real Estate in Houston for sixteen years. My focus began in the waterfront towns of Seabrook, Kemah, League City, and Clear Lake. With the addition of my partner our area of expertise has expanded inland to the beautiful Texas Hill Country. No matter where one is buying, selling or renting, it is my practice to go above and beyond providing buyers, sellers and investors with a positive, effortless and exceptionally informative real estate experience.

Before returning to Houston to begin a career in real estate in 2005, I graduated with an economics degree from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Worked in NYC for several design houses, and then for Clear Chanel Communications as a national radio sales executive. As a full service Realtor, I tailor resale marketing to capture the best individual resale potential. Where buyers are concerned my goal is to help people find their ideal habitat and community, as well as carefully negotiate and guide them from searching to purchase. I remain grounded in an economic sense knowing that real estate is often a persons largest, most important and fulfilling investment. Whether I'm helping someone find a flip or sell their family property, my clients goals become my own.
