  • TEXAS AFFORDABLE HOUSING SPECIALIST (TAHS) I have joined the noble and worthy cause of helping more Texans achieve their dreams of homeownership. In light of recent market events, lending parameters have tightened. However; there are still many programs available to assist lower, moderate-income and first-time homebuyers.

  • FREE Market Analysis My service includes a FREE market analysis on any community you are interested in. Even if you are curious about your neighborhood or a area you are considering, this detailed comprehensive report will provide you with a wealth of knowledge.
  • SELLERS It's hard negotiating for yourself. The For Sale By Owner sign makes you vulnerable for any curiosity seeker or unsavory character. When you list with me, only buyers accompanied by a REALTOR will get into your home. All offers presented will be "lender approved. I have a great deal of experience in writing contracts and can negotiate aggressively on your behalf.
  • BUYERS: Buying a house is a big step. The right time to take this leap depends on your financial and personal situation as well as your goals. If you are considering buying a house, "I am a skilled negotiator", determined to get the best price for you. A lot has to happen between signing the purchase offer and moving into a new house. As your representative, I will attend to the details and keep you in touch with the transaction each step of the way.

    What Clients Have to Say

    “Our experience with Angelia was second to none. She not only exemplified superior customer service, but she anticipated our needs before we did and saved us a lot of stress. We were looking for a pre-owed home because of our budget, and we thought we'd have to pay a lot down for a new one. Working with Angelia, we got a great deal for a BRAND NEW home. The builder was offering money for our closing costs, but Angelia got us additional discounts and added upgrades. We LOVE our home and couldn't be more pleased with how easy she made the entire process. We highly recommend Angelia to our friends & family.”
    Stephen and Renae Roberts – Houston, TX

    “My home was listed with another agent for over 5 months with no activity. I hired Angelia and it was night and day difference. She referred a professional stager, captured amazing photos and ensured a steady flow of traffic so I would have multiple offers to consider. She's a savvy negotiator and exceeded my expectations. I gladly recommend her to anyone who wants a consummate professional who will produce results, not just give a great pitch.”
    Carlette Moore – Houston, TX

    "Angelia has helped our family with multiple real estate transactions and always does an exceptional job. She listed and sold one of our properties in less than 30 days! She is very knowledgeable of the industry and has a patient, non-pushy demeanor. I call her the best faith-filled real estate agent and always recommend her to any of my friends who need real estate expertise."
