Native Houstonian Kristin Hite Dorsey knew that sales would be her career when she was still a college student at Louisiana State University - and it was the perfect choice. “Since the 1940s, my family has owned Norton Ditto Men’s Fine Clothing, founded in 1908, and I learned at an early age that a big part of sales is building relationships and understanding and meeting customers’ needs,” Kristin says. “Everyone is very different and as a salesperson, you must be open to anything. When you create a friendship, you create loyalty. I genuinely care about people in general and LOVE helping my clients. I find it incredibly rewarding, and at the end of each long day, I am happy and content when I know I have helped to guide them in the right direction.”

Kristin’s father-in-law is the founder and president of Dorsey Custom Homes, where her husband also works, and her mother-in-law is the founder and owner of Longoria Collection. “I think my biggest asset is being able to work very closely with my husband and mother-in-law,” Kristin says. “They help me prepare my listings by staging or by sending their contractors to do repairs and get the property in the best possible condition. They have also met with buyers to help them visualize a remodel or to review inspection reports and give repair estimates. The simple truth is that homes with great curb appeal and homes that are super clean, well-maintained and have pleasing décor sell faster and for more money than homes that don’t measure up.”

Kristin’s earlier career was in medical sales where she learned the importance of remaining patient and communicating effectively. “Learning how to read people and connect with them is paramount,” Kristin says. “As a Realtor, I am able to combine my love of meeting new people with my analytical skills to really service their needs whether they are buyers or sellers. I also like looking at different interior design techniques. It opens my mind and educates me as to what is “hot” in the market today, and that is valuable information I share with my clients.”

Kristin’s roots run deep in the Tanglewood area where she grew up. Like her mother and many aunts and cousins, she attended St. Michael Catholic School and then St. Agnes Academy. She is married to home-builder Thomas Dorsey, Jr., and they have an infant son. When not working, Kristin enjoys running, walking with friends, visiting with her family, and traveling to Maine in the summer.

Broker Associate Vicki Barazandeh is as humble and as graceful as they come. But, with over 15 years in the real estate industry, she is proud of her top producer status among the likes of her experienced and prominent peers.

With a successful business background, Vicki has established a successful career in real estate by applying her extensive knowledge in architectural design and new construction. Vicki prides herself in building life-long relationships, carefully listening to her customer's real estate needs.

Vicki was first introduced to the real estate profession through her husband, an architect and industry home builder, and by helping many of her friends find homes. “Real estate was made for me to do,” she says. “I get a natural high each time that I can bring a buyer and seller together to reach a deal that leaves them both happy.”

Vicki’s philosophy is that the customer is always right and she’s not afraid of criticism that helps put changes into motion. “What sets one Realtor apart from another is how they approach and resolve issues,” she says.

Other major factors that set Vicki apart and make her a natural leader: creative marketing ideas for her clients, her willingness to work hard on their behalf, her availability, and her appreciation of the contributions of her staff. Vicki’s best marketing tool has always been her reputation—and most of her new business comes through the referrals of delighted clients who feel they were fortunate to have done business with her.

“When you truly work hard and efficiently, thing will happen,” she says. “Working hard does not equate to showing up at the office. There must be a plan of action, goals, and follow through.”

When asked what her biggest career achievement to date has been, she responds that she “hasn’t reached it yet.” But, she acknowledges that earning her Broker’s license was a big step.
