Ron Brown became a licensed Realtor® in 2004 after ten years working in high-end retail because real estate was something he always wanted to do. During his retail career, he learned how to provide unexpected, over-the-top service to luxury customers and found that this skill set would translate well to the real estate business.

In every real estate transaction, Ron's goal is to make the process as stress-free and comfortable as possible for his clients. He works extremely well with both sellers and buyers by providing them with the most accurate information and guiding them with his market expertise. Extremely dependable, Ron is always available—day or night—for his clients, who really appreciate it. His clients also compliment his thoroughness, great communication skills and always-friendly nature.

Ron specializes in the Memorial, Tanglewood, Galleria, River Oaks, Museum, West University, Memorial Park, Heights, Midtown and downtown areas.

Born in Akron, Ohio, Ron's family moved to Texas when he was very young, and it has been his home for more than 40 years. Ron graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in business. He currently resides in Westhaven Estates.

Outside of work, Ron enjoys skiing, exercise, movies, socializing and trying new restaurants. An animal lover, he volunteers with Houston SPCA, in an effort to save as many animals as possible.

A native Texan, Jennifer Stenman Castano graduated from Texas A&M University with an undergraduate and graduate degree in Accounting. A licensed CPA, she began her career in public accounting with a Big 4 Firm and eventually specialized in Private Client Services where she enjoyed working with high net worth individuals, entrepreneurs and multi-generational families doing tax compliance and planning.

Valuable and confidential client service became second nature to Jennifer as she interacted with her clients during their seasons of great change. When she changed careers and became a realtor, it was remarkable how similar the needs would be for her real estate clients. Her background has proven to be invaluable in facilitating buyers and sellers with planning their first home, their forever home or investment plans. Jennifer states, " I am a high energy and very outgoing former tax accountant ( an oxymoron, if ever there was one) with a passion for all things related to real estate."

Jennifer provides buyers and sellers superb service from their first meeting to closing. Understanding the importance of staying abreast of the latest trends in the industry, she is keen on staying current in all of Houston's premier neighborhoods. Embracing a strong work ethic, this energetic, hard working professional is quick on her feet and determined to facilitate a seamless transaction for all parties involved. Always standing behind her reputation, Jennifer empathizes with people and takes her fiduciary duties very seriously. She firmly believes the only way to build a sustainable business is to operate with integrity and honesty always treating others with the respect and courtesy that one would like in return.

When free time allows, Jennifer loves trying new recipes and planning her next vacation or camping trip with her husband.

She works with clients of all ages, from first-time buyers to empty-nesters, in all price ranges, and in all types of housing from single-family homes to condominiums.

Taylor is technologically savvy and always looking for a new challenge to bring herself to the next level of expertise. Prior to becoming a Realtor®, Taylor worked as a recruiting coordinator for Andrews Kurth, LLP, where she recruited law students and planned firm events. Taylor then worked for a designer jewelry company for four years as a business analyst and in marketing and publicity. That experience taught her the value of excellent customer service and the rewards of building a strong referral and repeat business. "I have a never-give-up attitude, and my clients appreciate that," she says.

Taylor attended St. Francis Episcopal Day School and Episcopal High School. She earned a bachelor's degree in corporate communications with a minor in business at the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University. As an MBA candidate, Taylor participated in the Jones Graduate School Energy/Finance Summit, Student Council, and Entrepreneurship Club.

When not working, voluntarism plays an important role in Taylor's life. She serves on the Houston Rodeo Parade Committee, the Episcopal High School Alumni Board, and the St. Francis Episcopal Day School Alumni Board, and is an active alumna of Kappa Alpha Theta. Taylor and her husband, a commercial Realtor®, enjoy spending time with their family and friends, and she loves reading, golfing, and traveling.

[TESTIMONIAL] "You are definitely not an average Joe. Robert and I are so impressed by your selling strategy and educational material. You always think about the best interest to your clients based on the reality and your preparation is always 110% before putting the house on the market for sell or lease especially in current soft real estate market. You always follow-up and provide update to your clients within few hours the same day and it is so hard to find. You have whole team working for you and we were so happy and made the right decision to ask you to represent us selling our house in a downtown transition area. Some of them took 6 months to 1 year to sell their houses, but you sold our house with 6 days. We highly recommend you to any of your potential clients. Joe is very professional and knowledgeable. His strategic planning even better than my MBA class when I was in graduate school. We wouldn’t hire anyone to represent us for selling or buying our house except Joe Diosana." - Robert and Jeannie Chow

Living in Houston for over 20 years has given Sarah Kelly a good body of knowledge in the local residential real estate market. With a background in sales, she possesses excellent negotiating skills and has real estate designations as a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) and an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR). Her persistence, dedication, and attention to detail put her a step ahead in residential resale. Her first year at Greenwood King, Sarah was chosen Rookie of the Year at her office.

Over the years, Sarah has lived in several states in different regions of the country, giving her an ability to understand other perspectives, customs, and interests. In addition, she has traveled in Canada, Russia, Finland, Sweden, France, Germany, Czech Republic, and Italy, further broadening her view of people and the world. Raising two wonderful children and being married over 40 years, Sarah has grown accustomed to putting others' needs before her own.

She is involved with activities that coordinate her interests in service and family life. Her church commitments have included serving as chairman of the board of trustees, conducting church services for a term of three years as a lay reader, and varied committee work. She served on the PTO board at her son's public school and worked on many fundraising events at her daughter's private schools. She has served on the Friends Board of Camp for All, the board of the Brookwood Volunteers Association of The Brookwood Community, and has been a volunteer/mentor at Covenant House Texas, a facility that helps homeless young adults.

The qualities that drew Sarah to Greenwood King were the refined professional atmosphere emanating from the principals, management, and associates, coupled with its sterling reputation in the community.

Pama Abercrombie became a licensed Realtor in 1981 and achieved top-producer status in her first year in the business. Her long and distinguished career has brought the highest recognitions from fellow Realtors as well as numerous company and industry awards. Warm and personable, Pama is known for a "let's get the job done right" attitude and enjoys excellent relationships with her peers. She has been recognized eight times since 2008 by the Houston Business Journal as a Top 25 Residential Realtor and is ranked consistently as one of Greenwood King Properties' top producers. She was also recognized as the #2 Top Residential Real Estate Agent in Luxury for 2020 by the Houston Business Journal.

For Pama, the most important accolade is the enduring respect loyalty of her ever-increasing network of clients and friends. Her knowledge of the Houston real estate market runs deep and encompasses both resale and new-construction single family homes, townhomes and high-rise condominiums. Pama is associated with home sales in Houston's traditional, high-end neighborhoods of areas in and surrounding Memorial, the Memorial Villages, Tanglewood, River Oaks, and West University, although she sells a variety of properties in all areas of the city.

Pama listens intently to what her clients say, and don't say, when discussing their home and neighborhood preferences. She intuitively processes their lifestyle preference and personal sense of style and taste in order to fulfill their unique requirements.

A native Houstonian and graduate of Southern Methodist University, Pama is married to an established custom home builder and is the mother of two adult daughters and grandmother to two grandsons. She maintains a rigorous work schedule but loves to get away for travel, reading and working-out when time permits.
