Buying and selling a home is a big decision, and I am there to consult and assist you through-out the transaction.

New construction, single-family, town homes and condos are all part of my venue. Details, organization, negotiating and keeping my clients needs in mind, are my specialties.

With over 30,000 realtors in Houston how do you choose the right one? You may have friends, family and colleagues suggesting names. It is advisable to interview 2-3 people. Here are some suggested questions to ask together with how I would answer them.

Do you have any professional designations and why are they important? Designations indictate a commitment to the profession and a level of experience and expertise. I am a Master Certified Negotiation Expert (Top 1% of realtors in USA have this) and am accredited with the Inst.of Luxury Home Marketing.

Can an international buyer get a loan with no credit history? Yes. I work with a terrific network of lenders who will do their best to make this happen for you. You will start the process before you arrive and can be in your new home within 6 weeks of getting off the plane.

Are you from Texas? I've lived in Texas since 2003 but grew up in Scotland and England. I've since lived in Indonesia, Trinidad and Australia. So I can see Houston through the eyes of a newcomer and this is important. I work with buyers from around the globe and market properties worldwide. I have a global perspective which benefits clients.

What sells a home? Pricing, staging and tailored marketing. It's vitaly important your home is priced competitively and looks amazing - because buyers have choice. And you want them to choose YOU.

What areas of town do you work in? I work in those parts of town most favored by international buyers and interstate moves. Areas of focus are inside the 610 loop, I10 corridor, Katy and Sugarland. If you are looking in a different part of town such as the Woodlands, I will refer you to an area expert.

Anything else? I sit on the board of SABA as their Relocation Specialist. The Scottish American Business Alliance - SABA is a Houston based team who works tirelessly to promote Houston and help Scottish companies set up business here. I am also a Member of the Houston Relocation Professional Network - a group of experienced professionals dedicated to this industry.

What makes you different to other realtors? If you are moving to Texas for the first time, it's more than the house. It's about neighborhood, community, schools, making friends. Its about getting established in the US - your insurance, SSN and more. I work as a real estate consultant and offer destination services - a service some companies pay thousands of dollars for. I have a far reaching network of professionals I can count on to help you with international accountancy, estate planning, taxation, insurance, immigration and law.

Are you with a Broker? I am proud to be part of Keller Williams Metropolitan based in the Galleria. But as an MLS member I can show you ALL homes listed with ANY broker.

Do you work with international relocations or USA residents? Both. I do international, interstate and across town transactions. Although by the fact that I know many international transferees and have been one myself, I tend to attract those types of buyers and sellers.

I want a "top producing agent", are you one? To become a top producing agent, this requires an real estate agent to sell MANY homes. Do you want to be the 10th or 15th or 25th listing in someone's current portfolio? Or do you want your home to be your realtor's priorty?

How long have you been in real estate? Since 2006. Prior, I worked in Human Resources and have a Business Degree and post grads in Marketing and Counselling.

Do you work full time? Yes. I am committed to this profession 150%!

Do you have an assistant? No. When you are buying or seling your home, I believe you deserve the full attention of your real estate agent.

Testimonials:

Alan understood what we were looking for in a house and helped us find both the perfect area and home. He was not only very competent but also made the process enjoyable. Alan has been a dedicated realtor. He has been looking with me for 2 years and helped me find my ideal first home. He is dedicated and professional and easy to contact. In addition, he makes sure you don't stray too far from what you had initially set out to look for with both price, location, amenities, etc. I recommend him highly.

Alan understood what we were looking for in a house and helped us find both the perfect area and home. He was not only very competent but also made the process enjoyable.

Working with Alan was a wonderful experience. One aspect of house-selling that was very important to us was having frequent communication of the process, where we stood, and what is left to do. Alan clearly communicated each phase to us frequently and kept us in-the-loop as the process progressed. His confident, calm nature put us at ease from beginning to end. Thank you, Alan, for a great experience.

Wonderful experience. Alan went out of his way in every respect to get the house sold. I will use him again and recommend him to friends and family.

“Alan Morlan is the best in the business. I had a unique situation where I had to sell my home in the Houston Heights after being relocated to San Antonio and I am so happy that I had Alan Morlan as my Realtor. He turned what should have been a stressful and time consuming ordeal into an easy process. In the beginning, he took the time to answer my MANY questions, set up and monitored all the necessary cleaning/repairs, and we sailed through the listing process while I was 200 miles away. From there, his marketing plan was amazing. They held several open houses for both buyers and Realtors, had a photographer take great pictures for the internet, and implemented a myriad of other strategies that caused the showing to start flowing in. He stayed in constant contact with me and we got a couple of offers within a few weeks. He worked with me through the negotiations and inspections, listening to my needs while ensuring I made the best decisions. Because Alan was willing to take care of anything I needed done in Houston, I did not have to come back to town until closing, where I met him in person for the first time. Due to his compassion, his unparalleled service mentality, and most of all his results, Alan Morlan is absolutely the real estate agent that I would recommend to anyone buying or selling a home.”
