Broker Associate Inga Laughlin Smith brings an impressive background in international business to her real estate practice. Inga was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and has been a resident of Houston since 1989. After graduating from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in finance, she moved to Houston to pursue a career in banking. For 10 years, Inga worked in international banking for “Fortune 100” oil and gas clientele handling transactions on both the marketing and credit sides of the business. She applies numerous transferable skills to her real estate practice; specifically, strong negotiation, marketing, contract and documentation skills.

Inga began her real estate career with Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty in 2008. She serves clients primarily in the Memorial area, Briargrove, The Heights and other traditional neighborhoods in Houston.

Inga has earned her Master Certified Negotiation designation (MCNE) and firmly believes it is important for her clients to know that she continuously expands her knowledge base. “I feel very strongly about staying current on trends in the industry and keeping myself abreast of the ever changing market.”

A member of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty’s Circle of Excellence, Inga attributes her success to being positive, outgoing and a “hands-on” Realtor. “I love working with people, and I’m a good listener. I always have my client’s best interest at heart. Buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial decisions most people will make, and I am there to walk with them through the process. I am always appreciative and humbled by the number of referrals I receive from existing clients, and repeat business is my greatest compliment.”

Inga is married and the mother of three boys. Outside of real estate, she is involved in her boy’s schools, Memorial Middle School and Memorial High School. While her boys attended Frostwood Elementary, Inga was recognized for her volunteerism to the school and received the PTA Lifetime Achievement Award. Inga is a sustaining member of The Junior League of Houston, serves as a member of the Whispering Oaks Civic Club Architectural Committee, and is an active volunteer with the Whispering Oaks Woman’s Club, and an Alumni of Delta Delta Delta Sorority.

Hi and welcome to Houston! Thank for visiting my HAR.com profile. My name is Koh Annoura, and I am a native of Fukuoka, Japan. Before moving to Houston with my wife, Susan, I was a professional Keirin racer for 17 years. It was an exciting time in my life because I travelled all over Japan (and to Denmark representing Japan's national cycling team) racing bicycles on the velodrome.

After retiring from the athletic world, we moved to Houston with our two sons, to embark on a new adventure. My wife started Annoura Realty Group LLC in 2010 and our company specializes in helping Japanese expats relocate to Houston. To date, we have helped hundreds of Japanese families find housing and settle down in all parts of Houston including the medical center area, Galleria area, Clear Lake, Memorial, Katy, Sugar Land, and Pearland. It is a very fulfilling job to serve others as they embark on their new Houston adventure, as we also did.

If you are moving to the Houston area, please don't hesitate to call me. My first language is Japanese, and I am ready to help you any way I can.

Douzo Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.

A third generation native Houstonian, Angela Longo's background is rich in many fields related to real estate.

While working with her husband at his marble and granite sub-contracting business, she gained the opportunity of serving as a residential job superintendent. She then went on to residential general contracting for the building and flipping houses. This entailed overseeing every aspect of the construction process including lot acquisition, plan design, permitting, scheduling contractors and accounting until the completion of the project.

Heavily armed in knowledge of all components of the building process has made the task of any real estate transaction a perfect match for Angela. This background is a fabulous platform for her expertise to shine when guiding buyers and sellers through a real estate transaction. It is no surprise after being so hands-on, that this top realtor embraces the real estate profession as a great creative outlet and loves helping families discover just how to make a house "theirs."

Angela has a passion for working with buyers and sellers. While giving buyers an informed tour of different areas of Houston, she enjoys pointing out details and nuances that set each neighborhood apart from one another. Her keen architectural eye illuminates design elements that distinguish a home as unique.

Highly organized with tremendous attention to detail and being an excellent communicator and negotiator have proven invaluable as Angela guides her clients through all steps of purchasing or selling a home. Her goal is to provide the exact service one expects from their CPA, attorney or financial planner - with the same expectation of experience and knowledge that add value to the process. Exceptional service and discretion definitely set her apart as being highly acclaimed in her field.

Angela is a graduate of Texas A&M University School of Business with a BBA in Finance and emphasis in Real Estate. She is married and has three children, often volunteering in their schools chairing fund raising events and galas and actively serving on committees. She is also a supporter of various faith-based charities and organizations.

Her hobbies include playing tennis, practicing yoga, shooting sporting clays, skiing, cooking, traveling, gardening and is enjoying a new-found endeavor of raising bees and chickens.

One would choose the term "exceptional" when describing Angela. She was a top producer in the real estate world in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
