As a companywide Top Producer five consecutive years, Shelly Porter's model of success includes developing a tailored plan to fit the needs of each client. While she specializes in the luxury market - she is an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist, she gives the same unparalleled quality of service regardless of price level and has a soft spot for helping young families and first-time home buyers.
As a native Houstonian, Shelly has lived in several different neighborhoods so she understands the "big picture" of Houston's sometimes incomprehensible-to-outsiders Real Estate market, a quality that pays dividends for her clients.
Although she has developed a no-pressure attitude, she is influential at the negotiating table and has earned a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation. Shelly has a broad base of satisfied clients who know they can trust her to deliver their Real Estate priorities.
Her family, longtime residents of the Memorial area, includes her husband, their son, daughter-in-law, and a Cavalier King Charles puppy. Before becoming a Realtor, Shelly attended Texas State University followed by a career in retail sales. She attributes her love for and knowledge of homes and design to her decorator mother and both parents who owned an art gallery and sold antiques and accessories.
Shelly has been an active community volunteer for many years for numerous organizations including the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Habitat for Humanity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Toys for Tots, American Heart Association, Go Red for Women, Preservation Houston, Memorial Women's Club, and World Vision as a Child Sponsor. She is also a three-time recipient of the Junior League's Volunteer Extraordinaire Award.
"Shelly's the best! She's incredibly knowledgeable about the market and knows the Houston area inside and out. She's a tough negotiator too and was continually looking out for our best interests during the entire process. Shelly was a pleasure to work with in every way! She has a great personality, is easy to spend time with, optimistic and inspires complete confidence. Shopping for houses with Shelly is like spending the day with a good friend!" ~ Client Testimonial
