Benefits Of Working With The Houston Properties Team

Our team, composed of distinguished and competent Houston luxury realtors, has a well-defined structure based on the individual strengths of each member.

We find the team approach as the most effective way to sell homes. We have dedicated people doing staging, marketing, social media, open houses, and showings. Each Houston Properties Team member is a specialist in their role—which is why our homes sell faster and for more money than average.

The benefits of working with a team include:

the ability to be in two or three places at one time; a member can handle showings, while another answer calls
collective time and experience of members
targeted advice and marketing of agent expert in your area
competitive advantage by simply having more resources, more ideas, and more perspectives
a “checks and balances” system; selling and buying a home in Houston is an intensely complex process
more people addressing field calls and questions from buyers and agents to facilitate a faster, successful sale
efficient multi-tasking; one agent takes care of inspections and repair work, while another agent focuses on administrative details
multiple marketing channels using members’ networks
constant attention: guaranteed focus on your home and your transaction
lower risk for mistakes. Multiple moving parts increase oversights. A team approach handles these “parts” separately
flexibility in negotiation and marketing
better management of document flow
increased foot traffic through more timely and effective showing schedule coordination; and
increased sphere of influence and exposure to more potential buyers.
