CRP: Certified Relocation Professional

Hi, my name is Gary P, Smith and I was born and raised in Texas and have lived in Houston for the past fifty six years. What I love most about real estate is helping people. Buying or selling a home is a life changing event, and I have proven many times over that I am dedicated to making that exciting process as smooth as possible for my clients. My loyalty and dedication to serving those I build relationships with will always remain one of my most valuable assets.

Honest. Savvy. Strong financial acumen. Fierce negotiator. Detail-oriented. These are just a few words that clients and business associates have used to describe Ruth when asked what it's like to work with her. But don't just trust their words. Look at the numbers, awards, and her stats: - Over $30 million a year individual sales, doubling her production each year since she began her career. - Contracted with luxury builders and real estate investment groups for all of their real estate transactions and listings. - Consistently represents investment bankers, physicians, well-funded investors, and high net-worth individuals throughout Houston's most prestigious luxury neighborhoods: Memorial, West U, Briargrove, The Heights, Oak Forest/Garden Oaks, Spring Branch and The Woodlands. But behind the awards and recognition, beyond the recommendations and the results, you will find a highly skilled, knowable professional who puts clients' financial and real estate interests at the forefront of all decisions. To do that requires an in-depth knowledge of real estate contracts and language, negotiation skills, construction quality and industry, the use of integrated marketing platforms, insight into resale potential, a great education, and most of all - great mentors. Ruth was mentored in every area of real estate including the importance of design and its influence on gaining premium pricing. In between taking care of her clients, caring for her three children, and managing her career, Ruth is actively involved in the Texas Exes Alumni Chapter, Houston Rodeo, Junior League, and Small Steps Nurturing Center. Ruth helped start the Parent Organization at The Kenworthy School in The Heights and has continued to Memorial to serve the PTO at Frostwood Elementary School in Memorial. She is married and loves to visit Austin for Game Days in the fall (Hook Em), spend time at the lake with family, travel, and try new restaurants!

I am committed to getting you results. By consistently providing my clients with value, I have built a reputation on trust, integrity, communication, and providing effective solutions for all my valued clients. I am only a dial away, and happy to help you and your family. Thank you!

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I am a lifelong Texan, born in San Antonio, but raised in the small town of Floresville where I met my high school sweetheart and husband, Chris. We moved to Houston after I graduated college and both started our brand new careers and lives in the big city! After a few years, we moved to Cypress and had our two children. Our lives are wrapped around watching them play baseball and volleyball, spending time with our families and friends and, when we can, going to the lake, beach or anywhere we can go together!

EDUCATION

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN - Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting

CAREER

After working as an Accountant in the oil and gas industry for 18 years (15 years as a Tax Accountant), I decided it was time to take the plunge and follow my true passion. Not only has this been the best decision I ever could have made because of all of the wonderful people I have had the opportunity to meet; it has also provided me with a sense of fulfillment because I can help my clients fulfill their home buying or selling dreams. My accounting background helps me provide a fine tuned level of professional service because of my attention to detail and commitment to follow through to the very last detail. I look forward to providing you with the excellent service you deserve.
