“I can't overstate how easy and smooth our selling process was. Courtney helped us buy the house a few years ago and we asked her to help us sell it now. Everything was to the highest professional standards. From the discussions over pricing, to the staging, to photo shooting, showing and finally selling, Courtney was always available, quick to find the answers we needed and ready to help. If we ever need an agent in Houston again I won't think twice about calling Courtney.” - Ricardo Cirigliano (Google Review)

The Texas Medical Center was established in 1945 with the help of the M.D. The Anderson Foundation. Due to estate taxes, Anderson started the foundation to prevent the dissolution of his partnership.

Many developments followed suit. This includes the Texas Children’s Hospital and Houston Methodist Hospital.
