Whether you desire urban living in a high rise, a neighborhood with good schools to raise a family, a luxury estate to entertain like Gatsby, an expanse of property for quiet country living, a ranch to accommodate horses or livestock, a pied- a-terre in a fashion capitol, or hideaway to finish that novel, or space for an art studio, Conn Trussell is your man.

Licensed in both Texas and California for over 7 years as a real estate associate, Joseph Palatka, provides the experience, knowledge and home base in working with both buyers and sellers across state lines. As Houston has become a destination point for some of America's top corporations, Joseph brings his relocation knowledge to the table. Before beginning his career in real estate, Joseph, a former Hollywood actor and entrepreneur at heart, started a healthcare staffing firm where he worked first-hand with some of the largest healthcare systems in the country. In doing so, he successfully provided hundreds of careers for healthcare employees nationwide.
