It is such an honor to become part of one of the most exciting times in any individual’s life—that of buying or selling a home. Customer care is my specialty, from the first time buyer to the active investor. The greater Houston area has been my home for a life time, so I can offer unusual familiarity in a broad market. I particularly enjoy working north--Cypress, Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, Plantersville, Montgomery, Magnolia. My experience covers the buying and selling of existing homes, new construction, mortgage lending, hard money lending, short sales, foreclosures, real estate for investment, and commercial transactions.
