“We worked with the Houston Properties team for a work-relocation in 2nd quarter of 2022. We had a pretty short timeline to find a suitable home, make an offer, and close on the property. Holly and team were fabulous in helping us narrow our search so we could be very efficient with our house-hunting trip. We got an offer accepted on our #1 property with quick close date. Holly and the team were very helpful in managing details associated with the move including intercepting packages that were delivered to the address before we closed on the house. Also provided useful support for months after we moved including helpful references to services that might be needed for general property upkeep and any potential emergency weather-related needs due to the recent freeze. Highly recommend HPT!” - Kelli Wright (Google Review)
