“I think Houston Properties Team is the best group of Realtors in Houston, bar none. My realtor, Courtney, understood my challenges as a seller from the start. She worked diligently and methodically, with every aspect of the sale, right up until close. Her communication style was just what I had hoped for: she gave me pertinent information, but always deferred to me to make the call. We sold a house that had been on the market for two years, in just three months. I’m glad I chose Houston Properties Team. I think anyone buying or selling in Houston would be glad to have them on their side.” - John M. (Google Review)
