Enid Cruise-Cleland began her professional life as an International Account Manager with Atari Inc. in game and product sales, focusing on international clientele, and was able to increase sales in her territory by 150% during her very first year.

When Atari sold, she became a Financial Advisor with Prudential Securities in Florida. Her first two accounts for institutional clients were for $11 Million and $21 Million. Such phenomenal success led to a promotion and her relocation to Prudential’s headquarters in New York City where she assumed the position of International Director of Asset Management. Her responsibilities were to assist prospects and clients in the allocation of their assets based on risk, tolerance and timing, and to propose third party asset managers based on clients’ needs. One of her largest accounts was Bacardi Rum, which included travel to many countries.

While working in NYC, Enid continued her studies at the Harvard School of Business as well as coursework with Berkley in California. Relocating to Europe with her family, she lived in Slovenia, Italy, and finally settled in London where she studied art history and fashion design at the prestigious Central St. Martin and the London School of Fashion. It was during those years of studying and traveling that she developed her love for historic landmarks and properties and a passion for remodeling and selling real estate. When her family finally relocated to Houston, she decided to pursue a professional career, marrying her devotion to real estate and people.

Thanks to Enid’s well-developed skills in business, marketing and negotiation, she has enjoyed enormous success as a Realtor. Especially adept at negotiating the best deals for her clients, whether buyers or sellers, she helps sellers achieve their maximum goal in the quickest time possible and buyers to find their dream property within their budgets and relocation requirements. Her clients can attest to it – Enid Cruise-Cleland LOVES what she does.
