77027 Real Estate Agents

Lisa Baer has been assisting Houstonians in the purchase and sale of their dream homes since 1980. She came to residential real estate after having been a certified public accountant and having attended the University of Houston Law School. Lisa realized that she had “found her home” in selling other people their homes. “I love the people aspect of the business. You really get to know the buyers and sellers during the process and many become life-long friends. I have helped one family with five purchases and sales, and I have represented the seller or the buyer in five transactions relating to one particular home.”

Specializing in a small area of Inner Loop neighborhoods consisting of Southside, West University, Old Braeswood, Southampton, Southgate, Bellaire, and River Oaks for over 20 years has enabled Lisa to become an expert in these neighborhoods. Additionally, having held open houses on most Sundays for 20+ years-often two per Sunday, Lisa has met many families in the neighborhoods she services. “People frequently call me and say, ‘I met you two to five years ago at an open house and knew I would work with you when I was ready. Please come look at my home. I’m ready to sell.’”

Lisa enjoys seeing people create their dream homes by both renovating older homes and building new homes. She has worked with several builders over the years and with respect to one builder-Heritage Home Builders I Ltd.-has sold 17 homes. She has renovated several homes for her family and loves seeing new life breathed into older homes. “It’s so exciting to see the before and the after.”

Lisa has been one of the top three agents at Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty for the past five years and is a member of the Circle of Excellence Hall of Fame. She has also been on the Houston Business Journal's List of Top 25 Agents Citywide during each year since its inception in 1996. Lisa attributes her success to loving what she does-especially the people! Her motto is "How do you spell results-BAER!"

A native Houstonian and West University Place resident since 1990, Marsha Kistler joined Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty in 1999. A multiple-recipient of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty Circle of Excellence award, Marsha works successfully with both sellers and buyers and holds an Accredited Buyers Representative designation. Texas Monthly magazine has named Marsha a Five Star Real Estate Agent every year since 2011, an honor awarded to less than seven percent of Houston-area real estate agents.

Former clients call Marsha whenever they are looking to buy or sell real estate and repeatedly recommend her to family and friends. “I like meeting new people and educating them to our real estate market,” says Marsha. “I do my research and analyze the data to help clients make an informed decision that’s right for them. My priority is alleviating any concerns they may have and resolving problems in their best interests. I believe that creating a positive environment makes for a successful outcome.”

Prior to her career in residential real estate, Marsha was a director of human resources and learned first-hand about the concerns of families moving in and out of Houston. She applies that understanding to her real estate clients who are relocating.

Marsha grew up in Meyerland and graduated from Bellaire High School and the University of Houston. She is a strong community supporter of Child Advocates, Inc. and has served as a court-appointed Guardian Ad Litem. Marsha also donates much of her free time to fostering dogs and volunteering with animal rescue groups.

I was born into real estate. My grandmother, Ethel Rogers, became a broker and opened her first office in 1972, the same year I was born, and I have been surrounded by it and loved it every second since. I grew up in the Houston area and became passionate about helping the community develop and grow.

Real estate is what I do; I am hooked on constantly gaining more knowledge about the industry to help my clients best. When I'm not coming up with new innovative ways to market our resources or training members of the John Rogers Home Ownership Team, I am out and about attending conferences and events to gain more information and contribute ideas on the business systems for real estate teams.

As for hobbies, as I said before, I do real estatehowever, I do devote every weekend available to my family. I'm also into Houston Sports, big boats, and ATVs when I have the time.

I love working with the John Rogers Home Ownership Team because it is a great group of people who are not afraid to think outside of the box while still maintaining the enthusiasm and perseverance that is necessary in the real estate business.
