Spring Real Estate Agents

I've spent a good portion of my life moving. One city to another, one state to another, one country to another (specifically the U.S. and Italy). My father was in the military so we had the privilege of seeing the world, one house at a time. Searching for a new home was my absolute favorite thing to do - the house hunting with our Realtor, picking my room, looking for secret passageways. These experiences cultivated my love for real estate and my desire to always help people feel "at home."

Fast forward through 10 cities, 10 homes, a B.A in Mass Communications with a minor in Spanish & Theatre, and several event planning and sales jobs later, to the great state of Texas where I live with my son Austin. It's here that I began my career as a Realtor with Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene. I then stepped out on my own and joined forces with one of Houston's top Commercial Real Estate power players, Brenda Pennington, to create Pennington Reid Residential. It is my passion to share my knowledge of the business and help everyone through the entire home buying/selling journey. My marketing skills, sales experience and enthusiasm are all put to use to help YOU achieve your goals - whether you are renting, leasing, selling, buying, investing, or just looking for a secret passageway. I look forward to helping you, your family and your friends!
