Licensed in both Texas and California for over 7 years as a real estate associate, Joseph Palatka, provides the experience, knowledge and home base in working with both buyers and sellers across state lines. As Houston has become a destination point for some of America's top corporations, Joseph brings his relocation knowledge to the table. Before beginning his career in real estate, Joseph, a former Hollywood actor and entrepreneur at heart, started a healthcare staffing firm where he worked first-hand with some of the largest healthcare systems in the country. In doing so, he successfully provided hundreds of careers for healthcare employees nationwide. Yet, his passion for real estate took priority upon becoming involved in many renovation and investment property opportunities. Thereby, Joseph pivoted his entrepreneurial spirit into becoming a licensed Realtor in two states. Through his former experience in investment properties, he found his true calling in crafting strategically with his clients, eventually taking him home to Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty. Mr. Palatka graduated from the University of Oklahoma with degrees in both Marketing and International Business as well as minors in Management Information Systems and Spanish. Joseph also served as Treasurer of the Golden Key National Honor Society. Currently, he is involved in many local nonprofits, and loves to help children. Joseph resides in the Sugar Land area of Houston.
Carol Rowley began her real estate career many years ago when she joined DeForest Realty in Georgia. After moving to Houston she worked for prominent real estate and tax attorneys and later joined Bolin Development Corp. where she worked in the commercial real estate sector. As a 10+ Year Top Producer, Carol has been recognized by the Houston Business Journal as one of Houston's Top 25 Individual Realtors in all of Houston. Her success is driven by her attention to detail, hard work and repeat referral business. Carol is incredibly goal oriented and provides her clients first class, top notch service from start to finish.
During her years in Houston she's lived in the West University, Southgate, Bellaire, Braes Heights and the Galleria area, giving her first hand knowledge of the Houston market. Raising 3 children and volunteering at West U Elementary, River Oaks Baptist School, Lanier Middle School and Lamar High School, immersed Carol in a wonderful community of people and a greater connection and understanding of the town she adores. With one child graduated from UT, another graduated from St. Edwards in Austin and her third a graduate of Tulane, Carol has more time than ever to totally dedicate herself to her clients' needs. As a recent client put it, "I've always been cynical of the value of a real estate agent until I worked with Carol Rowley. She made the process a pleasant experience, and I can honestly say we've made a friend in the process of purchasing our home. I've already referred her to 3 friends. Thank you, Carol!"
Another Client wrote, "Somehow, you managed to negotiate and guide us through this process. You certainly went above and beyond the service we expected. I know at times this transaction tested all of our limits, but we were very happy with the results. I’ve always resented paying commissions - but not in this case. You earned and deserved every penny! We are happy to have gotten to know you, and extend our highest recommendation to any of your prospective clients."
Her perseverance is shown through her tireless work with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, where she has dedicated more than 20 years in the search for a cure for this disease. Carol was recently selected as an honoree for the JDRF Promise Ball where she was presented with the Living and Giving Award for her advocacy, leadership and commitment. JDRF selected Carol as Chair of the JDRF Children's Congress, a national event in Washington, DC created to lobby the government for additional funding. As the Chair, she worked personally with 200 families representing all 50 states in order to introduce them to their Congressmen and United States Senators. She not only provides service to the Houston community, but also individuals throughout the United States.

Texas has been my Home-Sweet-Home since 2007 when I was welcomed as a student at the University of Houston from Burkina Faso . I since fell in love with the City of Houston. Those who met for the first time will describe me as charismatic, hospitable, hardworking and trustworthy. My friends will add that Carine loves her Christian Catholic Faith and love simple moments of sharing a good coffee. My family will say of me that I am dependable, a book worm and loving.
After completing my ESL classes at UH on my arrival, I pursued an education in Hospitality Management through which I was blessed with a multi level experience type of service and geared me to be successful working with people. I proudly served the Hilton Hotel at UH, Holly Hall Retirement Community Dining Services. Taking on the team management of 30+employees at Granduca Hotel for 4 years and later the Brazos Presbyterians Homes 5 years, I felt confident to take on a journey of being a business owner.
With my husband's support, I opened and ran Dining Staff,LLC to serve the staffing needs of the hospitality business operations. I served proudly the Houston Country Club, The River Oaks Country Club, the Hallmark, BPHI,The Bell Tower, and local caterers. I grew resilience and appreciation in team work more than ever.
