“My husband and I worked with Lisa, and we had a great experience finding our first time home, which we love. Lisa really took interest in getting to know us as a couple and what we were looking for in a home. She was honest about the pros and cons of each home we toured or had interest in. We even had to put our search on hold as my husband was supposed to relocate out of Houston for work. It took over a year for us to find a home, and during the whole time, Lisa was available for us, patient, and we did not ever feel pressured to buy. Lisa provided us with objective data and her expert opinion during the process. She also helped us with negotiations. It was as stress free as a big purchase could be! Highly recommend the team and Lisa in particular.” - Monica Aceves (Google Review)

Benefits Of Working With The Houston Properties Team

Our team, composed of distinguished and competent Houston luxury realtors, has a well-defined structure based on the individual strengths of each member.

We find the team approach as the most effective way to sell homes. We have dedicated people doing staging, marketing, social media, open houses, and showings. Each Houston Properties Team member is a specialist in their role—which is why our homes sell faster and for more money than average.

The benefits of working with a team include:

• the ability to be in two or three places at one time; a member can handle showings, while another answer calls
• collective time and experience of members
• targeted advice and marketing of agent expert in your area
• competitive advantage by simply having more resources, more ideas, and more perspectives
• a “checks and balances” system; selling and buying a home in Houston is an intensely complex process
• more people addressing field calls and questions from buyers and agents to facilitate a faster, successful sale
• efficient multi-tasking; one agent takes care of inspections and repair work, while another agent focuses on administrative details
• multiple marketing channels using members’ networks
• constant attention: guaranteed focus on your home and your transaction
• lower risk for mistakes. Multiple moving parts increase oversights. A team approach handles these “parts” separately
• flexibility in negotiation and marketing
• better management of document flow
• increased foot traffic through more timely and effective showing schedule coordination; and
• increased sphere of influence and exposure to more potential buyers.
