“The first time we met Brittney we noticed her professionalism and knowledge regarding the Houston housing market. After searching for homes online for more than a year, Brittney showed us a couple of homes in beautiful neighborhoods that we really liked. We quickly found a home that we loved. From the beginning and throughout the closing process Brittney was always available when we had questions and needed guidance. Brittney ensured that all deadlines were met and tirelessly worked to keep us updated even during the Thanksgiving Holiday period. We appreciate her dedication and would highly recommend Brittney to anyone looking to buy a home in the Houston area. Thank you Brittney, for being there every step of the way and for helping us find the perfect home for our family.” - Amanda van den Berg (Google Review)
