"I believe that residential real estate is a relationship business," says Jessica Forsdick. Jessica transitioned to residential real estate from careers as a commercial agent and an eight-year stint in Houston's oil and gas industry where she negotiated contracts with major and smaller operators while actively focused on mitigating risk."Working in two high-octane industries, commercial real estate and the oil industry, taught me to thrive under pressure," Jessica says. "I always am better with more on my plate."Analytic but creative, focused but very social, Jessica loves helping her clients through the home sale or purchase process. As a child, her family was a part of the oil and gas business and she remembers bouncing between Houston and Midland as the market demanded. "I am well-versed in transitioning a household from place to place," she says, "and that's a real plus for my relocation clients."Jessica understands how daunting a real estate transaction can be for many clients. A home is typically a client's largest investment and she takes guiding them through the process very seriously. "My strongest attributes are negotiation on my client's behalf and building lasting relationships," she says.Jessica volunteers with Houston Alumnae Panhellenic Association (HAPA) and the Houston Alumnae Panhellenic Foundation (HAPF); serves on the board of Be An Angel, a non-profit aiding children with multiple disabilities and/or profound deafness; and serves as president of Alpha Phi Houston Alumnae chapter.A native of Midland, Jessica attended Midland High School and earned a degree in art history/English from Texas Tech University. She enjoys shooting sporting clays and is the president/executive director of Lady Clay Shooters, Inc. She also runs and is the veteran of three half-marathons; plays golf; collects art and attends art exhibitions; frequents the symphony, theater, and ballet; and loves spending time with friends and her rescue pup.

When I moved to Fulshear in 2014 there were two stop lights and lots of cows! After spending the prior 16 years in Los Angeles I was instantly charmed by this area and blown away by the big Texas welcome that my family encountered at every turn. With the region booming it is now my delight to welcome so many newcomers from all over the country (and the world!) as they also make this dynamic area their new home.

With a background in property management and leasing, and nearly two decades as a nonprofit fundraiser for organizations like the Girl Scouts and the American Heart Association, I bring a wealth of experience in building meaningful connections. Now, as a Realtor, my passion is connecting people with homes and communities where they can flourish.

Having done three cross-country moves myself, I understand the blend of excitement and stress moving brings-- even if you're just moving across town. I am dedicated to working with integrity and exceptional communication, making the process easy and joyful. It would be my honor to assist you on your real estate journey.

I'm a native Houstonian, and I have always had a passion for houses. And I always do what is best for my clients. Their best interest comes first. Always.

I equally enjoy working with both buyers and sellers. I started in a very tough market in the 80's, and have seen many market cycles in my career. My job is to help my clients accomplish their goals, whether the market is up, or down.

UT Class of 1987 - BBA / Marketing * New construction home sales in Austin 1987 * Residential resales 1988 to present *

I've sold lots of new construction and have remodeled every home I've ever owned, including extensive renovations at our house in April Sound at Lake Conroe, and our circa 1850's weekend home near Brenham, in Chappell Hill, Texas. I am an avid DIY-er. I enjoy fixing things and have a good working knowledge of home repairs and construction. When showing property, my goal is to help my clients find possibilities in the homes they are considering, and I'm happy to offer free remodeling advice.

Areas that I frequently work in: Memorial and the Memorial Villages, Tanglewood, Spring Branch, Westhaven / Galleria, and Inside the Loop, including hi rises.

Lynn Wells holds a distinction that only other native Houstonians can truly appreciate. She is an "inner looper," second generation in fact.

Her ability to embrace change and act on the courage of her convictions drive her to succeed in her work life as well as her personal life. A graduate of Bellaire High School, Lynn graduated cum laude from The University of Houston with a bachelor's of science degree in history. She is a single mother of young boy and girl twins who keep her busy and "young at heart." She is extremely close to her family who all reside in the Bellaire area. Lynn is also the proud owner of a rescue poodle and two cats who make her engage her vacuum cleaner much more often than she likes. As a Realtor, Lynn has made a career out of helping people and has done so as a volunteer as well. Her enthusiasm for Houston's diversity and culture shows up in both areas. She is a proud committeeman for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, an organization that upholds and advances many things she holds dear – Texas' heritage, philanthropy and education.
