In addition to my previous experience in sales and customer service, I am a member of the Political Affairs Advisory Group for the Houston Association of Realtors. I am dedicated to providing the highest degree of professionalism, market expertise and negotiation skills. Most importantly, I strive to put my clients' needs first and work cooperatively with every individual. My wish is to exceed all of your expectations........

I won't claim that I provide better service than anyone else, however I will tell you that I take my job seriously. I understand that no two transactions are the same and that their are many rocks to look under where problems can hide. Knowledge of not only the area, market and inventory but also the players involved in a typical local transaction can be a big part of making a transaction less stressful. Therefore, I walk-through the complete process with my clients to ensure they are fully satisfied. "To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity."

Patrick Kools (1977) has a very energetic and inquisitive personality. He will bring his knowledge, creativity and integrity in every residential real estate transaction and will be restless in finding the best solution to his clients.

After years of experience in marketing large scale master planned communities, he devoted himself to develop his county as deputy mayor and vice mayor. He acquired the passion for real estate and moving to Texas he decided to focus his career in residential real estate.

Native Houstonian Linda Ricca's professional portfolio includes a 20-year-plus, wide-ranging career of significant accomplishments within the health industry. Prior to becoming a Realtor, Linda earned a nursing degree from Houston Baptist University, practiced as an ICU nurse in the Texas Medical Center, transitioned into healthcare technology services and consulting, and finally moved into sales and executive oversight.

According to Linda, the dynamics of that previous career - managing multiple, detailed projects and providing guidance and counseling to families, clients and consultants - are similar to managing a real estate transaction. "In consulting, there were always new systems and processes to learn and new projects to develop and manage, as well as new clients and people to meet and assist, just as there are in real estate sales," she says. "There's also a strong emotional element present in both fields that requires caring, sensitivity, and understanding."

Linda uses her communication, service and financial skills to understand each client's unique situation and goals. A successful, proven business leader, she has a keen understanding of complex contracts and possesses the expertise and confidence to guide clients through their transactions from start to successful finish. "I am proactive and positive and continuously search for opportunities to learn more and share with clients what I learn so each transaction is better than the last."

Houston's traditional inner-Loop and near-Loop neighborhoods - Bellaire, West University, Tanglewood, Museum District and close-in Memorial - encompass the major areas where Linda sells. In addition to drawing on her innate knowledge as someone "born and raised in Houston and Sugar Land," Linda employs a wealth of valuable experience gained from working closely with her former husband, a residential builder, on many of his projects. "That exposure to the intricacies of home construction now helps me to assess a property's strengths and weaknesses and communicate that information to my clients. It also helps me explain inspection reports and contractual issues."

When not selling real estate, Linda is an officer on the Baylor College of Medicine Partnership Board and serves as Landscaping Lead for the Indian Circle Home Owners Association. Her leisure time includes traveling or at least getting away to the country whenever she can to spend time outdoors. Linda loves spending time with her daughter and son-in-law who live in LA and her son and daughter-in-law who live in Austin.

I have proudly served the citizens of Houston during my time as a Peace Officer.  While serving, I have developed many additional skill sets such as conflict and dispute resolutions, ability to work in a high stress environment, and making critical decisions in a timely and efficient manner.  I enjoy an environment where goals must be achieved, and the highest standards must be met.  I look forward to using my knowledge in the real estate field to work towards an overall goal and mission for my client's, and to provide them with the highest level of excellence and care.
