Kimberly Doty Baker is a fifth-generation native Houstonian and fifth generation Texan. She was raised in the Garden Oaks area and attended St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church and Southwest Texas State University, majoring in Criminal Justice.

Working in her family's business, Texas Cement Products/Tex-Rite, was pivotal to her future career in real estate. The business involved manufacturing grouts and thin sets for the ceramic tile and home building industry nation-wide.

This experience afforded her knowledge in home design, construction and all aspects of running a business. An additional layer of experience was gained through a position of legal secretary to two large firms where she became informed about contractual law, meeting deadlines and the importance of meeting client's expectations.

Assisting friends and family in locating properties prior to attaining her real estate license, fueled Kim's passion for becoming a successful realtor. Purchasing and remodeling several homes sharpened her keen eye for the potential of properties. She is patient, tenacious, very well organized and believes multi-tasking is essential in achieving success in her professional career.

Putting her client's needs above her own, Kim considers it an honor and privilege to represent a buyer or seller to the best of her ability. Being available at all times and great negotiating skills have paid great dividends for this multi-million-dollar producer. She has been the recipient of the Bronze Capper Award for the last six years.

Kim's volunteer activities include; St. James Episcopal School, Montgomery ISD, Montgomery County Women's Center, Habitat for Humanity and Gladney Center for Adoption.

When time allows, she enjoys hunting, cooking decorating, reading, entertaining and spending time with her husband and family. She raised her children in April Sound on Lake Conroe and still considers it home. Kim currently resides in The Woodlands with her husband, John.

Lara Nesmith is a Realtor whose successful practice incorporates a major part of the Houston metropolitan area. Lara is experienced and knowledgeable, works in all price ranges, and introduces her clients to the very best properties.

A top producer since 1989 and a member of the Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty's Circle of Excellence and Hall of Fame, currently a Luxury Specialist at Coldwell Banker, Lara works in Memorial, Memorial Villages, Sugar Land and has an expanding practice in Galveston as well. She is also experienced in the particular requirements of relocation buyers and sellers moving into or away from Houston.

Lara is proud that the majority of her business is referrals and repeat clients. I have worked with some of my clients as many as five times in the purchase or sale of their homes, Lara says. She attributes her success to long hours, strong market knowledge and top negotiating skills. My favorite compliment is when I'm told that I helped a client find the perfect house and made the transaction not only successful but enjoyable. We also help our sellers to stage their home prior to putting it on the market in order to help it sell for the best price, and we can also help buyers design and plan their remodel of a home. Lara has earned the Certified Senior Residential Specialist (CSRS) and Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designations, Luxury Specialist and has been recognized with the Texas Monthly Five Star Real Estate Agent award.

One of Lara's greatest assets is the ability to really listen. Once a client has described what they are looking for, I can search for property through their eyes, Lara says. And I always remember that purchasing a home or land for a home is one of the most important decisions most people will ever make. My working partner Trey also means a client gets two for one personal service.

Lara is a fourth generation Houstonian who grew up in Spring Valley and Memorial. She attended the University of Houston and Texas A&M University. Lara is married and has two adult sons, one of whom, Trey Nesmith, is a Realtor and has worked alongside Lara for many years as her working partner.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it (Amelia Earhart). When it comes to a lifestyle of rolling up her sleeves and getting things done, Caitlyn McBee knows it well. From the time she was a child, she was constantly moving, and constantly learning. Since that time, she has overcome challenges, achieved ambitious goals, and lived through a fire, freeze, hurricane, and flood. And all of these experiences and the incredible people in her life have honed and shaped the determined woman she is today.

Caitlyn grew up in Central Texas, raised with her mother and two grandmothers as strong female role models in her life. All three of these women had Master's Degrees, and worked in education, so learning and advancing were always top of mind. In her early childhood, the family moved quite often, which also created a fascination with different homes and lifestyles. She enjoyed doing her part to turn each house into a home, and as a result, she developed a strong talent for home decorating and design. It was no surprise, then, that when she was just 18 years old, Caitlyn bought her first home while simultaneously attending college at Angelo State University. She eventually earned her own Master's Degree in Agricultural Education and Communication at Texas Tech University, and went on to teach math for two years before deciding to pursue her love for real estate.

On the very first day that she began her real estate career, she gave birth to her daughter, Charley, forever marking that day as significant on many levels. In addition to being ecstatic about motherhood, she immediately knew she had found her career path, too. She received multiple certifications and awards throughout the next decade, and became one of the youngest Presidents to serve on the Bastrop County Board of Realtors at just 31 years old. Her zest for real estate was fueled by her instinct for helping families to locate a maximum lifestyle of luxury, no matter their position in life. This is how she became known as the Lifestyle Locator®.

Today, Caitlyn assists growing families & empty nesters in the Texas Gulf Coast area to locate and market a home more suited to their changing needs. She specializes in vacation homes and second homes focused on a lifestyle on or near the water, and is known for helping her clients locate a maximum lifestyle of luxury at their current life position. Caitlyn has earned her Broker's license, and is also a Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist and Global Luxury Agent. She's an advocate who is recognized for her attention to detail, contract expertise and skilled negotiations.

When Caitlyn isn't helping her clients, you can find her living an active lifestyle that includes home decorating, golfing, running, and driving her signature Jeep. She's involved in the community through volunteering in her daughter's high school volleyball program. She has already achieved one goal on her bucket list, which is owning a vacation home on the water, which she visits frequently with her family. The strength Caitlyn gained from being surrounded by such determined and dedicated women has helped her achieve her own lifestyle of luxury, and nothing is more rewarding to her than paying that forward.

Ask Kelly McDonald and she will tell you: "I absolutely love my job!" Kelly has been in the real estate industry for 17 years and is one of Houston's top producers.

Her background also includes international work experience in London,Singapore, and Korea, where she developed written and verbal skills in Korean. She also lived in Hawaii, where she worked for a major cruise line. She asserts that her experiences living – and moving – overseas give her a special affinity for and expertise in assisting relocation clients.

A native Texan, Kelly hails from Quitman, a small town in East Texas. She attended Texas A & M University in Commerce, Texas. Her love for sales developed early and she learned from watching her father and grandfather, who worked many years for the Ford Motor Company, that the customer is always right. Kelly is very active in her community and has served as President of the Magnolia Rotary Club, is a Magnolia ISD School Board Trustee and an advocate for impacting the pervasive issue of homelessness. Her leisure time is spent with her husband, three children, their dog "Sandy" and she enjoys playing the piano and violin.

When questioned about the future of residential real estate in Houston, Kelly emphatically states, "In Houston's dynamic economy people are enjoying wealth and stability from making sound real estate investments."
