Houston Real Estate Agents

Real estate agent bios are boring, canned puff pieces. They're like cardboard stiff, bland, and identical to every other bio out there. Instead of boasting ad nauseum about awards and accomplishments you're not interested in, I'm taking the novel approach of actually giving you what you want real answers to questions you're probably wondering right now.





***Will you return my calls and emails?


Yes. Without question.


I get a lot of calls and emails daily, and I work hard to reply as quickly as possible. As with most everyone else, especially if they run a business, I have a daily schedule and replying to texts, emails and phone calls are on that schedule at certain times of the day.





***Do you have experience doing exactly what I need?



Until you tell me what you need, there is no way of knowing.



These are "strong suits" of mine:



*Selling my client's homes as close to list price as possible



*Getting homes sold that didn't sell with previous agents



*Helping our clients find and get a great deal on their next home



*Making the real estate transaction and smooth as possible



If your goal or situation isn't represented on that list, don't worry. Contact me anyway. If I can't help, I'll refer you to another agent who can.





***What kind of work are you really good at?



On a personal level, I'm pretty good bass player and still play and church and with a couple of local bands. That actually was my first 20-year career. I've been told I'm also pretty good at cooking.


On a professional level, here are the real estate skill sets I've developed since 2013.

Personal Background -
Mark comes from a musical family and became a professional musician (bassist) in 1973. He worked full time as a musician until 1994 and still plays a few gigs each month with a couple of local bands - (Yacht Rock USA) and (Kaleidoskope) as well as at church. Mark is a native Texan and raised his family in the Houston area. The Burgess' family of 5 children and 12 grandchildren, warms his heart and keeps him motivated. His wife, Helen, is also a motivating factor in his life, as she provides The Burgess Group with her people skills, focus and concierge service to their clients. Mark loves his community, church and friends in the Sugar Land area and although they love traveling, they couldn't imagine living anywhere else. The Burgess' also have 2 permanent family members that live with them. Bella is their Maltese who loves everybody and Kitten (yes that's her name), who demands she be fed every hour.

I am a natural salesperson, with the gift of gab & a passion for people. Former Miss Congeniality in the Miss Texas Pageant, I love being a valuable resource to my clients. I understand of the emotional elements and challenges that comes with buying or selling a home as I have owned one of Houston's Top 3 Moving Companies since 2001.

As a compliment to my moving business, in 2012, I became a licensed realtor. Since then, I has managed personal real estate investments & transactions which has given me the foundation in the real estate market.

As a successful entrepreneur in the moving industry with solid reputation in the single family and multi-family markets, I value my relationships. I served on the board of directors for the Houston Apartment Association from 2009 - 2016 and served as the Product Service Council President. Additionally, from 2016 - 2019, I served on the board for the International Management District where I own commercial real estate.

I have extensive experience in effective marketing strategies using relevant social media platforms, the newest apps and technologies. I have gained the experience of by leading the marketing & strategic partnerships sector of my company. I am extremely creative with a comprehensive understanding of graphics & design. I love public speaking and am articulate, competitive by nature with unbeatable drive, determination and grit. I am well organized, detailed and punctual and have an extremely logistical mindset.

I am first generation Iranian-American where my parents brought me to the United States for a better life in 1984 when I was seven. My parents made the ultimate sacrifice to uproot themselves from the place they called "home" just to start life over for the betterment of their children. That journey has given me the appreciation for the opportunities I've been given as a result.

I grew up in the DFW area and moved to Houston in 2001 and settled in the heart of Houston, the Memorial City Centre area. I love Yorkies and have one named Bun-ee. I enjoy photography and sketching on my free time and am a big supporter of my community.
