“Five star rating hands down!!! I've used Houston properties on 4 different deals. Each one had its own unique set of challenges and our team of Brad Evans & Laura Banda were great at every turn. Not only did they help us find properties, but they helped us think about creative ways to negotiate the financial side of things, define our financial goals, and to maximize proceeds & reduce purchase price. It was impressive on how aligned Brad & Laura were so we did not get mixed messages or wires crossed. One of the most important things that they brought to the table was to help us navigate the emotional side of selling and buying. Their approach, choice of words, consideration for us as people and not just a customer was very impressive and appreciated. The people side of the equation is often a "miss" during the process and Brad & Laura hit a home run on every deal. I will definitely use them the next time I have a need. I also had the pleasure of meeting some of the other team members that were also top-notch. I highly recommend Houston Properties Team (and a big shout-out to Brad & Laura)!!!” - Eric Stetenfeld (Google Review)
