“We chose Houston Properties based on their ability to work with us in a friendly and flexible manner. They put in a lot of time and effort into selling our property make into selling the property. Our real estate agent Courtney Williams was absolutely terrific. She spent a lot of hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. We were concerned that our house, which was a townhome in the Montrose neighborhood would be tough to sell. Courtney made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps by providing us staging tips, professional photographers, and sound advice. The actual process of selling our home was challenging. Courtney helped us navigate those challenges with her professionalism and poise. Her negotiating skills were excellent, I would highly recommend Courtney Williams and Houston Properties to anyone who wants to buy or sell their home in the Houston area.” - Dhruva Krishna (Google Review)
