Houston Real Estate Agents

Proud Houstonian, Texas A&M alumni, Father and Realtor for 14 years and counting! My story begins after I graduated from Texas A&M Mays Business School in 2010 with a bachelor's in Business Marketing. My passion for real estate started in college and has allowed me to work with many of Houston's most prestigious real estate firms such as: Marcus & Millichap, Sudhoff Properties, Boulevard Realty and now New Leaf Real Estate. I have been blessed to have been coached by some of Houston's top brokers and real estate teams. This experience has made me into the hard-working, knowledgeable and respected agent that I am today. I have also been fortunate to be awarded into the million-dollar producers club by the Greater Houston Builders Association or GHBA. For over a decade, I have built long-lasting relationships with a variety of clients and to-date have successfully closed over 50 million dollars of sold transactions including residential and commercial properties. On a more personal note, I was born in Montreal, Canada; where most of my close family lives today. Houston has since become my home and after years of living in the lone star state I think I am now a true Texan; minus the cowboy boots! Biking, lacrosse, traveling, art exhibits, live music, and just being outdoors in nature are some of my favorite hobbies. If you need assistance selling or buying real estate in the Greater Houston area, please allow me to serve you.

Helping and encouraging come naturally to me. I am meticulous and keen to details, always looking out for the needs of my clients.

As a Realtor® and Broker/Owner of Lily Pad Realty, PLLC, I work with buyer and seller clients and am happy to help in both situations. Before obtaining my Broker's License in 2022, I was a Sales Agent for five years and prior to that, a Real Estate Assistant for two years. All told, I have worked in the real estate industry for eight years, and in that time no transactions have been the same!

In real property transactions, I see myself as the facilitator, always helping my clients find and purchase their dream homes, ideal rental property, second home, or investment property. My paramount attention is on client needs and the details of each transaction.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Systems from Friends University. To the real estate field, I bring years of experience in the IT industry as well as physician office and hospital administration. I have also worked in computer training and operations as well as church administration.

I am proactive and results oriented. A strong point I find useful is the ability to comprehend difficult or technical details then successfully explaining them to my clients.

My husband and our two sons have been League City residents since 2000 and we love this area of Texas!

I graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelors of Arts in Supply Chain Management. My background is in Oil and Gas, but grew a passion for real estate after purchasing my first home in 2017. The process of buying a house for any homeowners can be stressful, but it wasn't for me. It was extremely exciting for me to see how everything and everyone connect together to get to the final result: having those keys in your hand. I want to make your experience of purchasing a home just as enjoyable and easy as mine.
