Claire Wilkins' real estate clients benefit from decades of experience. A licensed Realtor since 1981, and a resident of Houston since 1967, she has been a Top Producer for many years and has sold some of the city's most expensive homes. A resident of River Oaks, Claire specializes in this neighborhood, as well as in Oaks Estates, Royden Oaks, Avalon Place, Afton Oaks, West University, Southampton, Bellaire, Tanglewood and Memorial. "I know and understand Houston real estate," she says. "I carefully research the market, whether a client is listing their home with me or I am asked to help them find a home." Claire listens to her clients' wants and needs. She uses market research, combined with her many years of experience, to help them accomplish their goals. Client loyalty is another attribute Claire is known for. "I am very devoted to my clients," she says, adding that they range from families to empty-nesters to young people purchasing their first home. "They deal with me, not with an assistant, and I am always available to them. No one works harder for their clients than I do." Born in Bay City, Texas, Claire grew up in a ranching and farming family-an experience that taught her about integrity and honesty and gave her an innate understanding of people. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. She decided to pursue a career in real estate after raising her children because it would be a new challenge and a profession that had always interested her. Active in the local community, Claire has served as a member of the Houston Zoo Board, the Houston Ballet Board and the Galveston 1894 Opera House Board; the president of the River Oaks Country Club Women's Association; and the Chairman of "The Nutcracker Market." Her hobbies include hunting, boating, horses, travel, reading, current events, gardening and the arts.

Making the transition from a successful business owner to a licensed real estate agent was an easy choice for Thebe. She brings the same qualities to real estate that she cultivated as a business owner in the areas of marketing, sales, and accounting. Her talent for negotiating, in addition to strong communication skills, paved the way to a Rising Star award in her first year as a REALTOR®, and shortly after, Top Producer, which she has achieved every year since.

Thebe knows that a home is one of the most important and personal purchases a person can make, and her clients' best interests are her top priority. She understands her clients' needs, whether they are buyers looking for their dream home or first-time homeowners. She's mastered the business side of real estate but knows the personal aspect of home buying is just as essential as the numbers.

Your home defines your lifestyle and quality of life. Having raised two children, she understands the necessity of good schools and neighborhoods for families. A native Texan, Thebe graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Computer Science. She now lives in the Galleria area, where you can find her spending time with family and friends and staying fit with CrossFit, pickleball, and yoga. A food and wine enthusiast, she can tell you about the best restaurants in Houston and the new spot opening this weekend. You'll also find her volunteering with Dress for Success, a non-profit that provides a network of support and professional attire to help women thrive in work and in life.



Her daughter graduated from Washington & Lee University, where she met her Argentine husband; they live in Dallas where her daughter is an OB-GYN doctor.
