Cathy Lakey has been helping people hit home runs in buying and selling homes for many years. Part of a family that loves baseball, it's not surprising that she sees commonality between achievement on a baseball diamond and achievement in her profession.

Her "secret" to success is pretty much the same as that of the big-league sluggers -- lots of hard work, preparation, continuous improvement, and never settling for mediocrity. She stays on top of the latest trends in real estate marketing and seeks opportunities for ongoing education in her field.

With more than 20 years of active real estate experience, Cathy maintains a strong commitment to continued learning and professional development. As such, she holds several industry-known designations -- ABR, CHMS, CLHMS, CNE, CRS, e-PRO, GRI, SRES -- offering expertise in luxury marketing, negotiating, staging, relocation, the active-adult community, and much more. She also has handled many sales involving estates and probates. In addition, Cathy is expanding into commercial real estate services and working to obtain her broker's license.

Cathy holds the coveted CRS designation awarded by the National Association of REALTORS. As such, she is one of an elite group comprising only 3 percent of REALTORS nationwide who have met the education and production requirements to earn and maintain this designation. The Certified Residential Specialist designation has been referred to by some in the business as "like having a doctorate degree in real estate."

Cathy's clients trust her because she listens to their needs, desires and goals, and then skillfully and thoroughly creates a plan to achieve her clients' desired results. Her commitment to her clients is evident in her open style of communication, her attention to detail and her service-minded attitude.

Elise is a native Texan and graduate of The University of Texas at Austin where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. After graduating from UT, Elise moved to Houston and began a career in Finance. She accepted a position at Invesco (formerly AIM Investments) one of the nation's premier investment companies. Her early success led to an opportunity in marketing for Landmark Graphics, a software development company in oil & gas exploration, now part of Halliburton. Her corporate experience provided a unique combination of finance and marketing skills that created a natural transition into real estate. Elise draws upon that experience every day. To be truly successful, you must have passion in what you do. Elise's passion for real estate is surpassed only by her passion for people. And helping people is what she attributes the most to her success, not only as an agent, but now as the manager for Better Homes and Gardens Gary Greene in The Woodlands.

As a resident of The Woodlands, Elise knows the value of hometown and community. Her long-time membership in The Woodlands United Methodist Church and her involvement in local groups, such as The Woodlands Chapter of the National Charity League serves as a constant reminder as to how much there is to love and admire about The Woodlands. That is why Elise and her husband have made their home here, and together they have chosen to make this the community in which to raise their three beautiful daughters.

For ten years Elise was dedicated to helping clients buy and sell real estate. During that time, she received multiple awards, e.g., in 2005, as a first-year agent at Prudential Gary Greene, Elise earned the coveted "Rookie of the Year" award, followed by top producer awards at Keller Williams. This experience is important, and it continues to resonate. In fact, Elise credits her experience as an agent to her ability to actively support, guide, and ultimately inspire the agents around her. So, if you're considering aligning yourself with a full-service brand, synonymous with quality and integrity, then consider Better Homes and Garden Gary Greene and give her a call.
