Real estate isn't just a profession for me; it's a genuine passion that has fueled my dedication to serving clients for over 12 years. Beyond the allure of beautiful properties, I find true fulfillment in witnessing my clients' dreams materialize whether it's the exhilarating experience of purchasing a first home or the strategic decision to downsize.
In my world, real estate is a symphony of stories, each move representing a chapter in someone's life. People embark on this journey for a myriad of reasons, and I am committed to understanding the nuances of their individual narratives. Customer service is not merely a box to check; it's a cornerstone of my approach. My unwavering commitment to the goals of my clients sets the stage for a personalized and seamless real estate experience.
Whether you're looking to plant your roots in a new home, embrace the thrill of your first purchase, or gracefully transition to a new chapter, I am here to guide you. Let's turn your real estate aspirations into a vibrant reality, tailored to your unique story.

Below, are just some of what her clients have said about her professionalism:

  • Kevin said, “I'm always surprised at the amount of paperwork and legal documents and financial stuff that goes along with buying a piece of Real Property. What impressed me most about my Realtor was that she was a smart cookie when it came to negotiating. She had the right anticipation, the right suggestions, and the right communication with both me as the buyer and the seller. There were multiple bids on the land and because my Realtor told me I had to negotiate a certain way, I was the one who ended up with the beautiful lot with the great trees and not the other guys who didn't have my Realtor ... Thanks again!”
  • Debra said, “My Realtor was the best she helped me from the beginning to the end I couldn’t have asked for a better person.”
  • Rodolfo said, “Mrs. Barrios was constantly walking the extra mile. Pure satisfaction to work with her. Prompt replies to every inquire and paperwork. Always reachable and willing.

    Sophia Bramley
    Walzel Properties - Katy
    About Sophia

    I use my passion for real estate and Katy neighborhoods, knowledge as an accountant, and drive to get the best results possible to benefit each of my clients. In my accounting roles, my goal was to create the perfect partnership between the client and the company I worked for, while ensuring attention to detail, and meeting deadlines. In Real Estate, my goal is much the same while adding the ability to create the perfect partnership between a client and their ideal/dream home, while making it as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I love building relationships, and this is why I love being in Real Estate. I grew up in Mississippi but have lived in the Houston and surrounding areas for over 30 years. I have had to move numerous times which has led with my first-hand experience as it relates to leasing, buying and selling. I recently moved back to Katy after being a way a few years in Georgia and San Antonio. The birth of my first grand-daughter was the hidden motivation behind the move and I could not be happier to be a part of her life. I love to venture out and explore all of what Katy has to offer and attending as many local events as I can. I also love my Astros and try to get in to see as many games as possible with my husband. I am always ready to extend my knowledge in the Real Estate Industry and will be with you from the beginning to the end of the process. Give me a call today!

  • Reviews and Recommendations "My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Christa Burgess twice. We listed our Cinco Ranch home with Christa several years ago when we were transferred out of Houston. She did a great job marketing our home in Katy, Texas and getting it sold! When we moved back to Katy last year she was naturally our first choice for a realtor. Christa Burgess worked with us to determine exactly what our needs were for purchasing a home. We found everything we wanted and are back in Cinco Ranch! Thank you Christa!" Erin and Kyle
  • "Christa Burgess did an outstanding job when we were looking for a home in Katy. She listened to our needs and knew exactly what home we wanted. She also provided assistance through the entire process. We greatly appreciate her help and are very happy with our home in Seven Meadows." V. Long
  • "We have known Christa for several years. She has helped us sell and purchase a home here in Katy Texas, Cinco Ranch. She has extensive knowledge of the area. She is thorough and thoughtful. She was a joy to work with and we would highly recommend her as a realtor." Robert and Susan Schneider
  • “Christa helped us sell and buy two homes in Katy. She was always available to us and did a professional job. We would highly recommend her to anyone moving to Katy Texas.” Jennifer and Robert
  • "We met Christa Burgess 6 years ago when she sold us a townhome in Cinco Ranch. We have since sold and bought again with Christa. She is knowledgeable about the Katy, Texas area!!! We would never use anyone else.” Sam and Jen
  • "Christa Burgess provided outstanding service working on my behalf to find me the most adorable home on a tight budget. She new her market very well and teamed me up with inspectors and a title company, doing a lot of behind the scenes work to make the purchase run smoothly. She made herself available for the inspections and the closing, making sure that all of the documents were secure for the final stages. Christa is very professional and efficient. She was an absolute pleasure to work with!" S McNeil
  • Working with Christa over that past 4 years has been a wonderful experience! Christa takes the time to get to know each of her customers and goes above and beyond to find the perfect home for them. Christa has assisted my husband and I to purchase two homes in the Katy area, both in Cinco Ranch. When we were ready to move again, Christa immediately began to utilize her expertise and extensive network to ensure our home was sold quickly. I especially appreciate Christa touching base with me even after the “sale” to see how we were doing. When we are ready to make another move, there is no one else I would want as my realtor except Christa Burgess! Erin and James Mills
