Texas Real Estate Agents Specializing in culture of Bahrain

With over 15 years of experience in design, residential, and commercial construction, I bring a unique blend of skills to the world of real estate. With a bachelor's degree in architecture and a master's in construction management, I bring a strong educational foundation to my real estate expertise. Collaborating with a diverse range of clients, including buyers, sellers, investors, and developers, has granted me invaluable insights into what individuals truly desire in a home. Guiding my buyer clients through the process of finding a home that not only meets their criteria but also ensures long-lasting satisfaction is a primary focus. I excel in presenting listings to showcase a property's strengths when selling, thereby facilitating successful transactions for my clients. I am deeply committed to my clients' success, treating their business as if it were my own. My extensive knowledge encompasses various market areas within Houston. I specialize in managing the entire home purchase or sale process alongside my clients. From strategic planning and budgeting to overseeing the timeline, including critical steps such as mortgage arrangements and closing procedures, I am dedicated to ensuring a smooth and successful experience. Effective communication is key, and I liaise seamlessly with various parties involved to maintain a timely and efficient process.

Living in West Houston for the past forty plus years, I have personally experienced the gradual growth and development of various parts of the Houston Metropolitan area. Managing my family's real estate investment company and overlooking more than 30 properties in Houston, Katy, and Conroe gave me the opportunity to be exposed to the real estate market conditions during its highs and lows. As a result, I have a good knowledge and unique perspective of the local real estate market and its changing cycles. In pursuit of my passion for architecture, I received my Master's Degree in Architecture from Texas A&M University in 1988. Upon graduation, I started my career in residential architecture by joining MHI Homebuilders, and later worked for several architectural firms specializing in commercial buildings such as apartments and condominiums, schools, retail centers, and hospitality buildings. In 2013, I transitioned back into the real estate business, joining RE/MAX Westside Realtors, and later REALM Real Estate Professionals in 2016. Most recently, I joined JPAR - The Sears Group in September 2020. Utilizing my professional background in architecture, analytical insight, and strong attention to detail, I serve my clients, both buyers and sellers, in the most effective way possible. My expertise in architecture allows me to focus on locating the best house that fits the special needs and budget of my buyers while also identifying special house features and possible improvements that would increase the property value and competitiveness for sellers. Additionally, I am fluent in both English and Arabic, which allows me to connect with a broader range of clients.

Victor grew up in the Memorial area, attending Frostwood Elementary, Memorial Middle and Memorial High School, before attending the Colorado School of Mines to study Geophysical Engineering. Victor began his career in the oil exploration business, working offshore in California prior to starting his tenure at college. During summers and semesters off, he furthered his career by working domestically and internationally in the geophysical exploration realm, in places such as Louisiana, West Africa, and Venezuela.

After a period of working abroad, he returned to Houston to focus on business management by studying Economics at the University of Houston, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Economics. Upon graduation, he worked as a manager of seismic acquisition crews allowing him to travel all over the world, including areas in the former USSR, Mexico, South America, West Africa, Northern Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Canadian and US Arctic.

Victor has managed operations offshore and onshore, ranging from small groups to operations of over 1,000 employees. Eventually, he took his family with him to live abroad, where he was able to share his adventurous spirit with his wife and two children in Bahrain and Mexico. He is fluent in Spanish and conversant in Portuguese.

When Victor returned to Houston, he chose to live in Katy with his family because of the excellent schools. After a period of thought and reflection, he decided he wanted to do something local instead of pursuing opportunities in the oil business. He says, "as I was deciding what my next chapter would be, I came into contact with people in various roles in the real estate business and it seemed like a fascinating industry, so many of the real estate professionals I spoke to didn't talk about the market, or the financial rewards, but rather spoke of helping people and the joy that came with this job."

He knew that he always liked helping people in his previous life in the oil business, whether it was as a supervisor, manager, trainer, mentor or coach and real estate seemed to be a natural fit. His history in a technical, detail-orientated line of work as a geophysical engineer crosses over very well to the organization and details of real estate transactions. Finally, years of working with and managing contracts in the oil business, from the oil company side, in addition to writing and enforcing them for subcontractors and other service provider's, serves him well in negotiating in the best interest of his clients.
