A detail-oriented, technologically-savvy self-starter, Emily Vidor Porter began her real estate career with a plan. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Emily was on track for law school but soon realized she needed to change course. "I worked for an oil and gas law firm and quickly realized that a desk job was not for me," she says. "I knew it was time to make a different plan that got me out of the office and interacting with people. I signed on as an agent-assistant at Greenwood King Properties in 2013 and learned the business from the ground up!"

After four, very intense, years learning from and working side-by-side with top producers at GK, Emily became an agent without missing a beat. "I saw from the very beginning that this would be a life-long career I would grow with as the years go by. I also learned that no matter how much knowledge one has, long hours and dedication to clients and excellent service are non-negotiable components for success."

As a native Houstonian, Emily has an established network of sellers and buyers in the West University area where she grew up, and has expanded that core client base to now include most of Houston's traditional neighborhoods. "The inner-loop has always been such an active real estate sales hub and growing up there exposed me to the excitement of the market from an early age," she says.

Honest and forthright, Emily delivers honesty to her clients. "I do not hold back my opinions because the truth is in the best interest of my clients." She enjoys guiding first-time buyers on a huge milestone in their lives and assisting sellers on how to make-ready their home to make a great first impression on the market. No matter who, what, where or when, Emily is extremely goal oriented, providing her clients first class, top notch service from start to finish! One client stated that "Emily went way beyond in absolutely every aspect of our deal experience. Communication, responsiveness, fact finding, research, attention to detail are all off the charts. Not everyone in this business is like this and that is what sets Emily apart from the pack."

After graduation from Episcopal High School, Emily earned her degree from the University of Texas where she a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and is still an active alum. In addition, Emily loves to also volunteer with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo where she has served on the Souvenir committee and now currently serving on the Breeders Greeters committee. In her free time, Emily enjoys traveling, working-out, watching college football, cooking, and spending time with her husband, Mark and their dog, Jagger.

ABOUT ME I am a 5th generation Texan. I was born in Dallas, Texas with roots from the Rio Grande Valley, Texas. My proudest accomplishment has been becoming a first-generation college graduate at Suffolk University in Boston, MA. There I earned my B.S. in Environmental Science. I began my career in the oil and gas field, which quickly translated into a residential construction management position. This career path has allowed me to provide expertise not only on what you see when viewing a property for purchase, but also what you don't see behind the walls and the quality of the materials used in construction. My other hobbies include watching NBA basketball, playing co-ed soccer and kickball, keeping up with my book club, and spending time with friends and family. WHAT SEPARATES ME FROM OTHER AGENTS I am a full-service Realtor offering a free home warranty to my buyers and charging 2% to my sellers. Not only will I represent you, you can rest assured that you also have my proven negotiation abilities, stunning marketing skills and comprehensive market knowledge working for you. I am very detail oriented and make every decision with supporting evidence. I keep myself up to date with current trends allowing me to negotiate powerfully based on facts. I aim to provide you an unforgettable experience prided on honesty and trust.
