Nancy Furst

Nancy Furst has been a Licensed real estate agent for over 19 years and was recognized as a top producing agent in three of her first four years practicing with an independent brokerage in Pearland. She trained as both a commercial and residential agent and business referrals from clients have made her successful through Houston's turbulent business cycles - "Customer service is exceedingly important in my business" Furst states. Nancy recently represented a client on a the sale of a 150 acre tract that was on the market for 16 years, the client was patient and wanted a premium price, and that sale is the largest sale recorded in the history of HAR's MLS. Relationships and referrals have also opened doors to work with international buyers leading Nancy to earn the Certified International Property Specialist Certification (CIPS).

Nancy became more politically active when her business was affected by Eminent Domain and Private Property Rights Issues. She became more involved in HAR's political affairs and TREPAC (Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee). Nancy sought appointments to the HAR committees for Governmental and Political Affairs and TREPAC, eventually becoming the Chair of the HAR Governmental and Political Affairs Committee. Furst has worked on numerous local, state, and national campaigns, advocated for legislation and as a longtime friend of Ted Cruz's family she was designated as NAR's lobbying representative for Senator Cruz. Nancy was elected to HAR's Board of Directors rising through officer positions to serve as the Association's Chair in 2015. She said that level of involvement rates as one of the top 3 experiences in her career. Furst stated she is ready to take her experience and involvement to the next level with HRBC.

For the past two years, Nancy has been the office manager at JLA Realty Pearland with a great team. Her favorite slogan is "Teamwork Makes The Dream Work" and she says her office is a prime example of just that, a Great Team. During the last 2-3 months of the Covid19 downturn she has been training her agents to operate virtually and keep showing properties and closing sales and leases.

Although Nancy considers herself to be a realist, she is ultimately guided by her Christian faith in the Lord "I think we will have a new normal in Real Estate moving forward, but remember, folks will always need a place to live. Don't buy into doom and gloom, Get Up, Go Out and Conquer YOUR world. It's a great time to be in Real Estate!"
