Houston Real Estate Agents

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and bio! I am an independent real estate broker with many years of experience and extensive knowledge of Houston and the surrounding areas. I have the highest standards and I take great pride in maintaining a reputation of honesty, integrity, and personal attention towards all of my clients. I am fully devoted to providing the best for my clients and being there for them through every step of the process. My goal is to give my clients a smooth, easy transaction and see them excited and happy in the end. When I'm not "real estating", I'm spending time with my two amazing daughters, working on home design projects, playing a game of golf when it's not too hot, and trying to catch a big fish in Galveston Bay. I also enjoy performing classical music (my first career), and I have a passion for animal rescue. I have been a foster for many years and I love seeing all of the precious pups find their wonderful forever homes. Sharing love, good times and laughter are the most important things to me and these all begin at home. Nothing makes me happier than helping people (and pets!) find the perfect place to call home. Please let me know how I can help you! I look forward to working with you!

A keen interest in homes, real estate and sales at a very young age became the foundation of Cheri Fama's career.

A native of Beaumont and a Houston resident since 1978, Cheri graduated from Texas A&M University with a BBA in marketing. Her decision to learn the real estate business from many angles was a wise one. She launched her career as a consultant with Houston Lighting and Power (now Reliant Energy), allowing her to work with many of the most prominent commercial and residential developers, architects and builders during a period of explosive growth in Houston. This experience propelled her into a position with Lincoln Property Company, a national commercial firm. Cheri handled commercial office leasing for the firm as well as marketing efforts and build-to-suit jobs.

Her interest in residential real estate was always in the background, and in 1982, Cheri moved into Custom New Home Sales representing seven builders in the Sugar Land area. Her new-construction knowledge and experience served her well as she later associated with a prestigious real estate firm in 1986 and quickly became the firm's primary "go to" person on new construction in the redeveloping of close-in neighborhoods including Tanglewood, Memorial, River Oaks, etc.

Cheri ultimately became the president of the firm, which was purchased by Zarr & Company Realtors in 1994. Her diverse background provided the knowledge and depth necessary to maneuver into the exciting and expanding Downtown Houston residential arena. Cheri moved the company into the Central Business District in the fall of 1998 with the Keystone Loft project, followed by the Capital Lofts and other developments. The company became the prime source for developer consultation prior to launching Downtown residential projects.

In 1999, Zarr & Company merged with House Hunters, and Cheri's role expanded to include management of the firm's largest branch operation. This position afforded her the opportunity to work one-on-one on a daily basis with sales associates by supporting them in their sales efforts and continually providing them with the knowledge and training that truly set them apart in the marketplace. Continued involvement with new construction has included marketing and sales of the Tanglewood and Venti mid-rise condominium developments as well as numerous single-family homes and townhome projects. Cheri's extensive experience in real estate led her to John Daugherty, Realtors in 2010. She is currently President and Chief Operating Officer.

Cheri has been extensively involved with the Houston Association of Realtors since 1990, serving multiple terms on the Board of Directors and chairing numerous committees and events.

Her community involvement includes the Junior League of Houston, Duchesne Academy Parents Association, Kinkaid Parents Association, Baylor University Parents Association, Texas Christian University Parents Association, The Nancy Owens Memorial Foundation, Houston Ballet Guild, Visionaries for Neighborhood Centers, Inc., Dress for Success Advisory Board, Rice University Guest Lecturer and Briargrove Property Owners Board of Directors.

Cheri and her husband Alan, a fine art broker, have two children and enjoy traveling and sports.
