Sophia Bramley
Walzel Properties - Katy
About Sophia

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!

I'm sensitive to their needs and willing to spend the time to ensure they make the most educated decision regarding their purchase or sale. Janice understands the nuances of preparing a home for the market and the importance of maximizing a home's potential. Her experience and passion for decorating and home staging, coupled with her Certified Home Marketing Specialist designation, gives her sellers the competitive edge.
