“Brad and Laura were amazing and exceeded my expectations. They helped me and my family selling our old home and buying a new one. They were both very professional, knowledgeable and respectful of my time and my family. I have 2 teenagers and a dog that can make anyone's job challenging but they were able to accommodate to our schedule and always seem calm and confident that everything was going to be ok. A process that could have been stressful was actually a pleasure. From the staging and pictures to the day we sold our house everything was great and the house sold really quick at a very good price. Brad was always a call away and was very responsive to any question we might have; excellent communication and customer service skills. Brad was with us every step of the way and did not miss anything for the house we sold and the house we bought; he recommended a very good inspector who was able to find some issues with our new house that the builder was able to fix before we signed on the contract to buy our new house; Brad also went to the final walk through with me and helped me checking the house one last time since my husband was not going to be able to go. Everything from day one was first class with Brad and Laura. I would recommend them as realtors to anyone I know. We hope to stay in this new house for a while but I will definitely contact them the next time I sell and/or buy a new house!” - Paula Sutton (Google Review)

Porter TX History

Porter is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County in southeastern Texas. It is within the Houston–The Woodlands-Sugar Land metropolitan area.

The earliest settlement in east Montgomery County developed in what is now New Caney, just north of Porter. The Houston, East, and West Texas Railroad was built through the area in the late 1870s and 1880s. An influx of settlers moved to various points along the new railway. When the post office opened in 1892, the town was referred to as Porters. In 1953, the post office dropped the "s," resulting in the town's current name of Porter.
