Forreste Markowitz

I am a native Houstonian who grew up in Bellaire. I fondly remember the "small town" feeling my neighbors and I had in the City of Homes.

I went to school at the University of Texas at Austin and obtained a degree in Journalism. My husband Scott and I raised our twins in Meyerland and I am proud to say that I was a 1986 Bellaire High School grad and the twins, Max and Brandon, were 2016 Bellaire grads.

I became a real estate agent in 2007 and became a broker in 2010 so I could run my own comps and list my own properties. I have flipped several homes in the Houston area and helped other investors do the same. In addition to flipping homes, I have sponsored agents, helped clients find the perfect home or investment, managed real estate brokerages, performed transaction coordination and managed a few rental homes on my own.

In 2018, I became a real estate instructor . This has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career because it gave me the privilege of imparting real estate knowledge to newer agents, since I am forever grateful for the agents who helped me while I was learning on the job. In this endeavor, I am available to teach continuing education courses, brokerage training courses or design training material and processes for brokerages in need of assistance.
