Buying a home in Kolbe Farms can be challenging. Many new construction communities have non-standard contracts that are very one-sided and benefit the developer. Unsuspecting buyers can be at a disadvantage from the start.

In addition, since Houston recently issued more single-family new home construction permits than the entire state of California, some new construction quality has suffered. Buyers must get help from a great realtor to navigate the contract and inspection process.

"The Houston Property Team was simply outstanding! They are extremely knowledgeable and competent, they also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the condos and neighborhoods we were interested in making the whole buying process very easy. We highly recommend them and could not be happier about our choice!" - Claudia O'Leary (Google Review)
