I understand that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction: it's a life-changing experience. That's why I am dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized service for all of my clients. I take great pride in the relationships I build and always work relentlessly on your behalf to help you achieve your real estate goals.

Twenty-seven years ago I relocated to Houston to join the Houston Ballet and have grown to love this friendly, diverse, and creative city. Whether you are looking for an in-town condo or suburban property, Houston has a community and a home for you. With my years of experience as a successful agent, I can be your go-to source for real estate insight and advice. Let me guide you through the process of selling your home or finding the home of your dreams.

My philosophy is simple: clients come first. I pledge to be in constant communication with you, keeping you fully informed throughout the entire buying or selling process. I believe that if you're not left with an amazing experience, I haven't done my job.

Janice Ratliff is proud to be a native Houstonian and truly believes Houston is a phenomenal place to call home. After working for an independent developer for several years she decided to embark on a career in real estate. That was 1988! She's never looked back!

She particularly loves the interaction with her clients and the challenge of bringing buyers and seller together for a win-win for all! "I like to 'spoil' my clients."

With a strong reputation for attention to detail and precise execution of transactions, Janice has earned numerous awards and has been recognized as Bernstein Realty's Top Producer several times in her 34 year career...all at Bernstein Realty. She has been featured as one of the top producing agents in Cinco Ranch several times. Living in Katy since 1989 she has seen vast changes.

As a relocation specialist, Janice embraces the challenge of finding not only the perfect home for her clients, but finding the neighborhood and lifestyle that will make those families feel at home. My clients appreciate my commitment, knowledge, work ethic and responsiveness. I'm sensitive to their needs and willing to spend the time to ensure they make the most educated decision regarding their purchase or sale. Janice understands the nuances of preparing a home for the market and the importance of maximizing a home's potential. Her experience and passion for decorating and home staging, coupled with her Certified Home Marketing Specialist designation, gives her sellers the competitive edge. You have to know your market, knowledge of the buyers and what they are looking are for.

Janice and Ron have been residents of Cinco Ranch for the last 28 years and have been giving back to the community in many ways. They are the local Santa and Mrs. Claus for over 34 years and have held many fundraisers benefiting the homeless children of our city.



Janice is a Master Scuba Diver and has spent many years as an underwater photographer. She and Ron have traveled all over the world escaping to the wonderful exotic destinations to spend their entire week underwater. I cannot imagine a better way to regenerate my personal battery so I can get back to work with a fresh face on life! Nothing can scare me..... I dive with the sharks!

Native Houstonian Leslie Karpas began her sales career as a travel agent in leisure sales. That experience taught Leslie the importance of impeccable service and market knowledge. It also taught her to remember to respect the sense of occasion that accompanies an important lifetime event such as the vacation of a lifetime – or even more significantly, a new home.

A career in residential real estate was a natural transition for Leslie. “My husband, Hedley, is a broker and I have been living and breathing residential transactions for the past 20 years,” she says. As a Realtor with Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty, Leslie recognizes that the purchase or sale of a home is a major milestone in someone’s life. “My clients’ happiness and satisfaction are on the top of my list,” Leslie says. “Outstanding customer service is a must; all of my clients’ goals are of the utmost importance to me.”

Leslie believes in keeping abreast of trends in the real estate market and has earned the National Association of Realtors Green Designation. She serves on the boards of Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services and Congregation Beth Israel Sisterhood. Leslie is also a co-founder of the Young Ambassadors of SEARCH Homeless Services.

Leisure hours for Leslie are spent watching Houston Texans’ football game, enjoying long walks and spending time with family and friends. She and her husband Hedley are the parents of a teenager and a college student.
