"Selling your home is an emotional process. For that, it is important to work with the best real estate agency out there. From the moment we decided to sell, Houston Properties Team was there for us. They took their time to get to know us, what our needs were and when it would be the right time to sell, and for what price. We received a detailed timeline so we knew exactly where we were in the process at all times. They were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us. They were very patient, answered every question we had big or small promptly, and always provided us with the information we needed. I highly recommend working with the Houston Properties Team. Thanks to them, we had a very smooth sale and found the perfect new owners for our house." - Olivia Simoen-Deman (Google Review)
