And we are closed! This one was truly an honor. The sellers don”t even live in Houston anymore and they wanted an “extremely hands on real estate agent”. Someone who’d project manage every last detail from start to finish.
We were a perfect match!!

Congratulations to all parties on their new life chapters. And a big, heartfelt thanks to the seller’s daughter who reached out to me this summer and said I think you are what my family needs! That trust in me means a lot.

What slow market?! Priced right and presented to perfection, your home will sell.

There may not be as many buyers out there but there are still plenty buyers. And cash buyers too. They don’t care about interest rates!

For those sellers who put in the upfront preparation work so their home becomes the stand out in an ocean of inventory, who price strategically to get buyers in through the door (it’s got to make sense and be appraisal proof) and be willing to negotiate some - they are the winner in this market.
And buyers - you are not competing with several other people.

Savvy buyers and sellers are very much moving and grooving in this market.

Onwards to closing 💪🏻

Another successful sale and a happy seller.

Townhomes typically don’t appreciate all that much unless you line certain factors up. I helped these sellers buy in 2018 and that’s exactly what they did.

Fast forward to 2026 when they moved out of state, handed me the keys and told me to make it happen. So I did.

They took all my advice and I helped showcase their home by paying for staging which most agents would not do at this price point. But I’m a firm believer that if you are going to sell anything, turn it into the best version of its current self. Hire an agent with a large marketing budget.

The result? We are closed, my sellers built equity and our competition lingers on the market.

Thank you for trusting me to get your home sold in this very difficult market. Strategy matters. Your agent matters.

If moving out of state is on your radar, project managing the entire preparation and marketing process is my wheelhouse. Let’s talk!

I really appreciated this gesture. I liked this agent from the get go. He wrote a killer offer for his clients and won them the house, my listing, in a multiple offer situation. Respect 🙌. I told his buyers he was awesome!
But throughout, he and I communicated almost daily, fixing the inevitable problems that popped up along the way and working to get the best outcomes for our clients without it being some arduous, unnecessary battle.
He answered his phone. I answered mine. Right down to literally the 11th hour the night before closing when we found out the shade remotes were not working anymore.
I happened to be in DC that night dropping Kiera off at college so I sent Cameron over to the home to fix the problem at 11pm (thanks Cammy!) so my sellers and his buyers didn’t have to worry. Apparently that’s not normal to care so much. But I do. And so did he.

In a city of 40000 real estate agents, I’m glad my sellers had this agent on the buyer side.

Because new doesn’t meant perfect. And even with the best builder, people do careless things. The final make ready cleaners flush a chunk of paper towels or worse, wet wipes down the toilet.
A sub contractor flushes grout and construction debris down the drain. Worse - a sub contractor with a grudge - disconnects a sewer line after city code inspections or even pours concrete down the drain. Or maybe a section of pipe has just settled in the months since it was laid and now has a deep belly. All of these issues can cause sewer line back ups into your home. It’s a nightmare for you and a nightmare for the builder.

A good builder will welcome a buyer inspection of the sewer lines. It helps him too. And a great real estate agent (that’ll be me!) will always suggest all the checks you can do to secure your investment. Because when you’ve been around as long as me, you have seen it all!

Contrary to popular belief, great negotiation isn’t about being all shouty and aggressive.
It’s about having excellent relationships with and mutual respect with your counter parties. It’s about understanding what your client needs and what the sellers need too. Only that way can you calmly and successfully negotiate a win win outcome. Knowing this home was about to be listed, my buyers and I got to work. They took every last piece of advice about how to play this to get everything we wanted but that the builder got their win too. The result? We were the first to see this home, the first to make a strategic and calculated offer and we secured it immediately, effectively shutting the door to our competition. I’m still pinching myself that my buyers are under contract for this stunning Covington Home.

Looking to buy in West University? It pays to have an agent with their finger well and truly on the pulse of what’s happening. And then how to win the offer!

I was interviewed for this listing. It sat in a neighborhood where homes took months to sell. It was a gorgeous house - only a few years old. And the seller lived like we all live.
It was a happy, functioning family home. There’s zero judgement here.

It’s at this point most sellers would be advised to tidy up and they’d be good to go.

But I knew this home needed to shine and look the very best version of itself if it were to stand out in a sea of inventory. So we did some light painting, eliminated some of the colors, patched up the wear and tear, tackled some of the deferred maintenance. And then staged.

The result? Multiple offers after one week on market and we ended up over list price. 👊🏻

That’s how it done!

Results like this take planning and analysis to determine the most cost effective improvements and predict where your price may end up as a result. I’m currently working with spring sellers.

I work in Houston’s inner loop and Tanglewood. If selling your home next year is on your radar, let’s talk this side of the holidays!
