“Lisa Iglesias has just concluded representing us on the third of three transactions over the past 13 months. Each of these transactions differed from the others in material ways. All three of these transactions involved existing high-rise condominium apartments. The third and last transaction was particularly difficult. It is a unique apartment in an aging hotel in downtown. Among other things, it had been modified approximately 12 years ago to accommodate someone in a wheelchair. Nevertheless, for the right buyer it offered real value. Lisa worked tirelessly to find that buyer. She was responsive, creative and positive throughout. Her professionalism and high levels of experience and knowledge were ultimately key, in my opinion, to a successful conclusion. In short, although I have worked with many realtors over 40 years, Lisa is the most professional and capable with whom I have worked.” - Steve Gerdes (Google Review)

Fresno TX History

Fresno is situated in northeastern Fort Bend County, Texas, about twenty miles northeast of Richmond.

It was named by a settler from Fresno, California, and was established on land that was patented in 1824. In its early days, Fresno was surrounded by cotton plantations and acquired a post office in 1910.

Over the years, its population saw fluctuations - from just thirty-two people in 1914 to a peak of 6,603 in the year 2000. The town's growth was influenced by factors like a telephone connection, a general store, and the expansion of the International-Great Northern Railroad.

The population increase during the 1970s and 1980s was attributed to the growth of nearby Houston.
