Dream Homes - that's what I do for a living! Helping buyers and sellers with their real estate needs is my passion. First-time home buyers; down-sizing or upgrading; moving in or out of Houston for work - assisting families through the process, and providing an incredible customer experience throughout, is always my top priority. To make that happen - keen listening skills, attention to detail, and a background as a paralegal and business owner provide me the foundation needed to guide my clients successfully every time.

Native Texan, Brian Gerdes graduated from Texas A & M University with a Bachelor of Business Administration. After graduation Brian began a 7-year career in banking and gained an in depth understanding of residential and commercial financing. With a background in credit underwriting, property valuation, and the residential construction process, Real Estate was a very natural transition for Brian. Brian has a great appreciation for property ownership and finds it rewarding to help people with such an important transaction. He feels that professionalism and clear communication channels are essential to a smooth real estate transaction and he strives to provide the highest level of service to his cliental. His areas of focus are The Heights, Rice Military, Oak Forest, Spring Branch and the general West Houston area.

I use my passion for real estate and Katy neighborhoods, knowledge as an accountant, and drive to get the best results possible to benefit each of my clients. In my accounting roles, my goal was to create the perfect partnership between the client and the company I worked for, while ensuring attention to detail, and meeting deadlines. In Real Estate, my goal is much the same while adding the ability to create the perfect partnership between a client and their ideal/dream home, while making it as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I love building relationships, and this is why I love being in Real Estate. I grew up in Mississippi but have lived in the Houston and surrounding areas for over 30 years. I have had to move numerous times which has led with my first-hand experience as it relates to leasing, buying and selling. I recently moved back to Katy after being a way a few years in Georgia and San Antonio. The birth of my first grand-daughter was the hidden motivation behind the move and I could not be happier to be a part of her life. I love to venture out and explore all of what Katy has to offer and attending as many local events as I can. I also love my Astros and try to get in to see as many games as possible with my husband. I am always ready to extend my knowledge in the Real Estate Industry and will be with you from the beginning to the end of the process. Give me a call today!
