Paige Martin's Guide To Franklin Lofts For Sale In Houston

Downtown has more than 150,000 workers employed by 3,500 businesses including Chevron, JPMorgan Chase, and Shell Oil Company.

Paige Martin is the best Houston realtor I have worked with. In recent years I worked with other realtors, as I looked for a new home either under-construction, a resale or new build. Others don't compare to Paige. She is knowledgeable about the market, listened and responded to my needs, and provided solid advice. She represented us when we chose to build and helped us get great value. And, she advised us in preparing our old hold for sale. It sold quickly, closed efficiently, at a great price.
