“Danielle Wojcik of Houston Properties was recommended to us as a first time homebuyer expert & we couldn't have been in better hands. If you want someone communicative, transparent, supportive, knowledgeable, and proficient in their field, you want Danielle. In fact, I would be sad for you if you didn't work with Danielle. We started our process in November & she's been with us every step of the way, even after closing in April 2024. I don't think this process would have been nearly as fun or smooth without her.” - Rita Chapa (Google Review)
