Forging long-term client relationships is at the core of Monica's approach. No transaction is ever a one-and-done deal. Rather Monica focuses on earning her clients' trust, loyalty, and friendship. Monica's long-standing clients include residential buyers and sellers, investors, and builders, many of whom she has represented on multiple transactions. Monica attributes this to her stellar negotiation skills, integrity, and expert knowledge of the Houston market.



Growing up the granddaughter of a builder, real estate was a natural next step for Monica after she retired from a successful career as an appellate attorney. Monica graduated cum laude from Dedman College of Law (Southern Methodist University) where she was inducted into the Order of the Coif, named a Hutchison Fellow (full merit scholarship), and was an editor of the SMU Law Review. She received her BA magna cum laude in Chinese History and Political Science from Colorado College and studied Mandarin Chinese as a PICAS Fellow at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.



In her spare time, Monica likes spending time with her family and three fur babies. She enjoys Sudoku, Vinyasa Yoga, and attending performances of the Houston Grand Opera. Monica believes in serving her community and actively donates to Houston PetSet and various performing arts organizations.

As CEO/Broker and Past President of the American Society of Interior Design, Laurie brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Coton House Realty firm she has formed. After graduating from the University of Texas/Austin with a degree in business and a degree in interior design from the Houston Art Institute, Laurie embarked on her design career by purchasing and renovating homes for resale throughout the Houston area.

She soon discovered that proficiency as a licensed realtor complemented her design skills. As a 3rd generation Houstonian who has lived and worked in the inner loop for 35 years, she knows the city and surrounding suburbs intimately well and decided to combine her design expertise with real estate. Her role as Managing Broker for a local boutique real estate agency opened new horizons for combining real estate, design and remodeling services under the umbrella of Coton House Realty.

Laurie and her family are advocates of rescued animals. She also enjoys butterfly gardening, travel as time permits, reading, exploring the new coffee shops and restaurants for which Houston is well-known and, most of all, spending time with family and pets.

I graduated from the Knowledge University with degrees in Marketing and Business Management. I have Listing Expert certifications. As you'll notice, most of these templates are written from the perspective of a brokerage providing information in the 3rd person for their agents. I think my favorite accolade is the number of prior clients who have worked with me to help them build their dream homes when I was working with builders. Knowing that you've left behind a positive impact is important to me and how I run my business.

Maria Grant-Bormann has been a licensed Realtor since 2008 and has already earned million-dollar producer status twice. No doubt, her ability to work well with people and her eagerness to please her clients is crucial to the stellar results she has received. Add in her designations as an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR), and Certified Home Marketing Specialist (CHMS), and it is clear that Maria is a Realtor who stands out in the crowd.

Maria feels that clients who most benefit from her services are those who are looking for farms and ranches in the country, especially if they enjoy and ride horses. Why this area of specialty? She believes her experience as a horsewoman and competitor is an added value. She is also bilingual in English and Spanish and welcomes the opportunity to work with Spanish-speaking clients.

A former international missionary and commercial flight attendant, Maria chose what she calls the challenging but rewarding real estate profession as a career because, as an investor in several country properties, she wanted to learn more about the business and earn extra money. She feels she brings a unique perspective and upbeat personality, with a “Latin flavor,” to the profession.

She describes herself as caring, kind, tenacious, feisty, positive, friendly and hard working. Customer service is her top priority and the transforming of clients into raving fans is her ultimate goal.

Born in El Salvador, along with her teenage sister, Maria was adopted at the age of 14 by a family in Maine. She now makes her home in Brenham, Texas, and is the mother of a beautiful daughter named Mariah.

In her spare time, she enjoys playing soccer, horseback riding, cooking and reading Christian books. Because she feels so blessed to have been adopted herself, orphan ministry is her passion. She wants to be a voice for orphans and supports several orphanages in Central America.
