A Companywide Top Producer

2014 to present

Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS)

Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE)

Third Generaton Houstonian

As a companywide Top Producer five consecutive years, Shelly Porter's model of success includes developing a tailored plan to fit the needs of each client. While she specializes in the luxury market - she is an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist, she gives the same unparalleled quality of service regardless of price level and has a soft spot for helping young families and first-time home buyers.

As a native Houstonian, Shelly has lived in several different neighborhoods so she understands the "big picture" of Houston's sometimes incomprehensible-to-outsiders Real Estate market, a quality that pays dividends for her clients.

Although she has developed a no-pressure attitude, she is influential at the negotiating table and has earned a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation. Shelly has a broad base of satisfied clients who know they can trust her to deliver their Real Estate priorities.

Her family, longtime residents of the Memorial area, includes her husband, their son, daughter-in-law, and a Cavalier King Charles puppy. Before becoming a Realtor, Shelly attended Texas State University followed by a career in retail sales. She attributes her love for and knowledge of homes and design to her decorator mother and both parents who owned an art gallery and sold antiques and accessories.

Shelly has been an active community volunteer for many years for numerous organizations including the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Habitat for Humanity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Toys for Tots, American Heart Association, Go Red for Women, Preservation Houston, Memorial Women's Club, and World Vision as a Child Sponsor. She is also a three-time recipient of the Junior League's Volunteer Extraordinaire Award.

"Shelly's the best! She's incredibly knowledgeable about the market and knows the Houston area inside and out. She's a tough negotiator too and was continually looking out for our best interests during the entire process. Shelly was a pleasure to work with in every way! She has a great personality, is easy to spend time with, optimistic and inspires complete confidence. Shopping for houses with Shelly is like spending the day with a good friend!" ~ Client Testimonial

My name is Karina, originally from Boston, Massachusetts. I decided to make a change and relocate to Houston, TX to begin my real estate career. I enjoy helping buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals. Not only am I here to listen to your needs but I am also here to guide you throughout this amazing process of homeownership. I build lasting relationships with my clients for years to come. When I am not selling homes, I enjoy reading, trying new restaurants, or being around family. I am passionate about helping others and I am fulfilled when I can assist others in achieving their goals. I work with all price points, buyers, sellers, leases, and investors.

Broker Associate Cheryl Ford understands customer service. According to Cheryl, "Understanding customer service means treating each client as if they were the only client."

A 30-year-plus resident of Briargrove Park, Cheryl provides her clients with valuable insight into this world-class neighborhood's many amenities. A second-home resident of Galveston since the 1990's, she is also very active in the island's West Beach real estate market.

Positive and outgoing with personal attention, hard work, reliability and attention to detail have lead to Cheryl's consistent high production placing her in the top-producer echelon as a member of the coveted Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty Circle of Excellence and the company's Hall of Fame. Named one of the "Texas Super Realtors," Cheryl attributes her phenomenal success to her clients who provide consistent repeat business and personally staying current on market trends to keep up with the ever-changing Houston-area dynamic.

Decades of success, an extensive knowledge of the Houston market while working in all price ranges results in hundreds and hundreds of satisfied buyers and sellers.

A native Houstonian, Cheryl taught handicapped children for ten years after graduation from the University of Houston. She has served on the board of the March of Dimes, St. Thomas Mothers' Club, and Strake Jesuit Mother's Club.
