Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty Circle of Excellence member Annie Raburn sells homes from River Oaks to The Woodlands. A resident of Pine Shadows for over 27 years, Annie focuses her marketing in Tanglewood and surrounding neighborhoods. She is very experienced in helping relocation clients and assists clients throughout the Houston metropolitan area. Annie is a consistent top producer who is recognized in the industry for outstanding production.

Annie has done everything in real estate from on-site sales for a condominium conversion in downtown Houston to managing a real estate firm for nine years. However, her first love is helping clients sell and purchase their homes – just as it was when she started her career over 14 years ago. “I find it very rewarding to match the needs of a client to just the right house,” Annie says. “Over the years many clients have become personal friends. My interest in them is not merely as their agent but reflects genuine concern for them as individuals. Once you have established a relationship with clients regarding such a personal and important transaction as buying or selling a home you want to preserve that relationship in order to help them in the future.”

Customer service is paramount for Annie. “My husband and I previously owned a well-known freelance court reporting firm for twenty-plus years and I learned that service is king - regardless of the product,” she says.

Annie is a member of St. Theresa Catholic Church in the Memorial Park area and serves on the pastoral council. She has chaired the annual fundraiser for the church and school. Annie loves to cook and entertains with frequent dinner parties for family and friends. She and her husband collect art and enjoy visiting art galleries and museums.

Bill earned his reputation as a trusted real estate advisor through a combination of hard work, detailed analytic and problem-solving skills and his easy-going, customer-focused demeanor. A native Texan, Bill grew up in El Paso. "I've been in Houston 40 years now, which comes pretty close to being a native. I was the typical cynical transplant, thinking I'd be here at most 3-5 years. The city quickly charmed me with its friendly people, incredible diversity, and exciting arts and cultural scene. I love working with people new to Houston and opening their eyes to the delights that I came to love." Bill has lived in many of Houston's inner-loop neighborhoods, including Southampton, Upper Kirby, Montrose, Southgate, Boulevard Oaks and in his current home in Highland Village.

Bill's real estate career has been built on a solid foundation of personal and professional experiences. He earned both a bachelor's and master's degree in business at The University of Texas at Austin (with a year of work in New York in between). He started his post-graduate career in Houston, first as a commercial banker, including a stint in London, England. Three years later, he moved to Continental Airlines, where he worked in finance for 15 years, his last position as Managing Director of Corporate Finance.

Yearning to escape the corporate life and build on his love of architecture and design, Bill then formed a home-building company constructing high-end homes inside the Loop. This ultimately led to him gaining his real estate broker's license. In 2005, he made the decision to sell real estate full-time, allowing him to combine his love of design with his interest in people. His competent, no-drama style has led to a successful sales career as a top producer for over 10 years closing hundreds of transactions.

"Buying and selling real estate can be a stressful experience, but I think my clients are put at ease by my strong finance/analytic skills, my frequent communication to them about the state of the market and my don't-take-yourself-too-seriously sense of humor. I think real estate is fun and I try to make it that way for my clients as well."

When not selling real estate, Bill enjoys an occasional round of golf, working out, trying new restaurants and spending time at the northern California home he owns with his partner of 28 years. An avid supporter of the arts and other philanthropic endeavors, Bill is most proud of his work with Legacy Community Health, a non-profit community health center providing quality healthcare to all, regardless of ability to pay. He has served on two capital campaign committees to help Legacy raise $25 million for three state-of-the-art clinics.

Member, National Association of Realtors, Texas Association of Realtors and Houston Association of Realtors.
