I joined my husband, Rocky Lane, in real estate after a 31-year career in the field of education. I have lived and worked in Fort Bend County since 1976. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and assisting them in the sale of their property, or finding them the perfect home. I am task-oriented, organized, and prepare my Sellers and Buyers for the most important transactions of their lives. My knowledge, experience, and professionalism will work for you - my client.

Buying or Selling a home is easy! Right? I know it is not. This is what I used to think before I went through the process of buying a home for myself. Going through this experience got me started on my real estate career path. I realized I wanted to help people make their biggest purchase with confidence. Confidence comes with knowledge. I value education and experience immensely. I believe in educating and advising my clients towards a successful, mutually beneficial real estate transaction. I have a double masters, in Business & Marketing, and in Information Science. I also continue taking courses in Real Estate to keep my skills honed and to better serve my clients. Understanding my client's unique needs and goals, and helping them reach a decision they feel confident about, is my top priority. I also consider myself to be a strong negotiator. I have earned the designation of a 'Master Certification Negotiation Expert'. I work diligently to save my clients money during their most expensive transaction. My experience and knowledge help me educate my clients with understanding the nuances and concerns of owning a home. All properties that I have listed for selling or leasing, sold within 45 days. I prepare a unique marketing strategy, based on the property, for all my clients. I live in Sugarland with my two teenage kids, my dog, and my professor husband. We moved here 15 years ago from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I understand how stressful moves can be. I like to help people get familiarised with this area, especially young families with children where schools can be a big concern. Whether you are buying or selling a home, call me now. Let me be of help to you!

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.
