I specialize in helping 1st responders, teachers, veterans & 1st time buyers get into homes with as little as possible- many times $0 down payment!! I have fantastic programs for EVERY situation, even partnerships w credit repair companies if needed.
I have special programs that most don't know about that cater to my 1st responders, teachers, vets & 1st time buyers. Unlike many agents, I know how to work with things like EJ pay, OT & even hectic work schedules to ensure this an incredibly easy process.
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO LIST & SELL!!
I'm happy to run a CMA report for you! This Comparative Market Analysis is a detailed report that uses nearby, recently sold properties defined what we could list your home for. (Upgrades & renovations ARE taken into account & absolutely help!)
Wild story of 1 the most emotional closings this year? This couple had been working with a different local realtor for quite a while & offered on a home that I had listed 2 months ago. (It was the hottest home I've ever had with 34 offers in on it.) They didn't win & the poor wife cried for days. After seeing her Mom ultra upset, their daughter put her foot down on what she'd been telling her parents for some time- they were not with the right agent. They took their daughter's advice & switched agents- TO ME. The daughter's research found all my reviews & that I specialize in helping teachers.
Although they had a preapproval when they came to me, I didn't feel it was the best deal they could get SO I got them qualified w my lender for a $0 down payment program. This saved them $8,500 on what they originally were told they needed to put down.
Gracias a Dios, we WON against 20 OFFERS on the very 1ST home we offered together on bc "it stood out." In our 4 weeks together, I've spent about 50 hours on the phone w these clients. I understand the emotions involved in such a big, new investment & am ALWAYS available to talk thru any concerns. In that time, my heart is happy to say the Smiths are now MY FAMILY. They've been renters for decades and now have their dream of being homeowners JUST in time for the holidays!
I had a referral from an officer friend asking me to help his his best friend from the Navy who was moving to Texas. Sterling & his beautiful wife, Priya, were packing up their life in California & NEEDING a home quickly. She is a stewardess on VIP jet flights & he's an MMA fighter.
On their 1st visit to Houston, I cleared my schedule To take them on a tour as we were on a mission! (I do extensive research for my clients, especially on New builds, bc time IS money!) We visited a few great options but I saved the best for last. I have access to pocket listings- homes NOT yet on the market for public purchase. It was a STUNING model home, fully loaded w lots of upgrades. It was also the very LAST home in the entire community available- one that was perfect for their desired commute to work/fam.
Model homes are almost impossible to catch when they come up for sale, Given the extravagant set up they have. We truly caught a UNICORN of a home!! (*Had this hit HAR just 2 days later as planned, it would've had multiple offers in a heartbeat & probably accepted an all cash deal.*)
I got the under contract that same day And the underwriting process began. During in this phase, I stay on top of the lenders, title company and builder to ensure a smooth process. A BIG PROBLEM CAME UP- the appraisal on this home FAILED by 51k! When this happens, the builder/sellers usually relist the home, waiting for a cash buyer bc they never want to take a hit on pricing. I could NOT let this happen because Sterling & Priya were IN LOVE W EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HOME. I negotiated hard, petitioned corporate, called ferociously and convinced the builder to not just continue in the sale of the home BUT TO ALSO GIVE US $44K OFF THE AGREED UPON PRICING.
My sweet, new-to-TX couple cried when I told them. The home was OURS & at a steal of a deal pricing! Now, not even 1 year later, they've got an extreme amount of equity in their 1st Houston home since market values have soared. They have a fat corner lot, glorious vaulted ceilings, 5 bedrooms, excellent schools, a floating walkway & an upgraded home from the min they moved in!
Congrats, Priya & Sterling!! Thank you for trusting me to fight for, protect & get you closed in your dream home!

I've been in real estate for 16 years and covered commercial, investments and residential. My son is 18 and is in college to be an Paramedic. My hubs is an HPD officer & an Operation Enduring Freedom combat veteran. In our free time, we shoot competitively in USPSA matches. Though we live in Spring, I cover all areas of Texas.
I'm a Director for the Houston Police Family Support Unit. This is a nonprofit organization that helps HPD officers injured in the line of duty & one of the BEST things I've been involved in. During the worst day of their lives, we make sure the families aren't sitting at the hospital by themselves, facilitate needs being met and ensure fundraisers are put together when needed.
Our FAV event of the year is our Shop w a Blue Hero event. We take the kids of our fallen HPD officers on a Christmas shopping spree as they're accompanied by an officer from their parent's station. This year, we had 9 kids, all under 18. They've all lost a Dad who has been killed while keeping Houston safe.
Current events in the community are on www.hpfsu.com & our FB page. Houston Police Family Support Unit.
I've been a volunteer for Spring ISD for 15 years. I've helped start 2 PTOs at both Marshall Elementary & Wunsche Senior High, which is the ONLY high school PTO in SISD. I've sat on multiple boards & committees during this time, some of which include the creation & implementation of Dr. Watson's:
It's taken a village to help get my son graduated and I'm happy to give back to the teachers that invest so much. COMMUNICATION, PARENT SUPPORT & COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IS KEY TO A CHILD'S SUCCESS.
I'm proud to currently be president of Wunsche Senior High's PTO. I believe in Spring and know giving back to our district is vital.
