Gena Van Tries, recommended by Eric Twombly CFA CTP FRM PMP, helped buy a property on Jun. 11th, 2021

“As a relocation from the Northeast, Gena really helped my wife and I understand the Houston market particularly the Kemah and Clear Lake area where we were looking but also neighborhoods close to downtown that we were also considering. Gave us good tips on things/specs to look for in houses. Very friendly. Knowledgeable. Pleasure to work with."
