Katy Real Estate Agents

Hi!

I'm a Native Texan and proud of it! I was born and raised in Dumas, Texas, up in the Panhandle. Over the years, I've lived in small towns and cities across the state. (Dallas, Arlington, Denton, Amarillo, Canyon, Austin, Quanah, Chillicothe, Katy)

I spent 23 years working with families in Texas public schools as a Special Education Teacher and Team Leader. I advocated for my students to help them get the best education possible and worked closely with their families to give them any available resources.

I have my Master of Education in Counseling and have been a life long learner in education and educating.

Now, instead of educating children, I educate families in buying or selling properties. It is rewarding for me to help my clients negotiate their best deals in either selling their current home or finding the new home they always wanted!

I take great pride in showing homes, visiting with customers during open houses, and searching for the perfect home for my clients. I'm thrilled for you at closing when the deal is funded and everyone walks away happy!

I'm here for you. Text me! 281-381-2319

Carlos Pond Bilingual - Spanish Carlos believes success is driven by consistent action. He recognizes that the technicalities and intricacies of what makes a person successful must be consistently nourished and cultivated through hard work, self-discipline and genuine ambition. It was this steadfast attitude and committed way of thinking that first lead Carlos to a career in direct sales, and later to pursue his real estate license. An avid self-development researcher and self-described people person, Carlos found real estate to be the perfect juncture of his two strongest suits. When he decided to transition from building organizations of distributors into buying and selling real estate, he was one step ahead of the game—already well equipped with the tireless work ethic and intricate knowledge of sales necessary to confidently guide his clients through the very important, and sometimes challenging, process of buying or selling a home. He is motivated by being able to support and educate others, and by ensuring everyone he works with feels well informed and at ease each step of the way. He stands by the motto that the only thing tougher than developing leadership skills is attempting to be successful without them, and so he strives daily to be the best educator and motivator he can be. "My number one goal is to serve my clients," he says. "It is vital to me that every person I work with knows I'll go above and beyond to exceed their expectations." When he isn't showing homes, negotiating contracts, or running comps, Carlos is usually reading about real estate and business development. A firm believer in the idea that learning is a lifelong process, he is passionate about the mechanics and intricacies of growing a business and intends to grow his real estate business the same way he's grown his life—through hard work, self-discipline, and plenty of ambition.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE (as the consumer)
I bought my very first resale home at the age of 21 and resided in that property for 6 years. In 2017 after Hurricane Harvey, I decided to purchase a brand-new home for myself while leasing out my first property to a family in need. In 2019, I married my husband and we bought our very first home together in 2020. In that same year, I sold both of my properties and chose to capitalize on my existing knowledge and experience by walking others through their journey to homeownership.
