Native Houstonian and member of the Martha Turner Sotheby’s Circle of Excellence, Sabrina Elias, began her residential real estate career after many years as a middle school and high-school teacher. Sabrina credits her teaching background with equipping her with the skills for success in life and business.

“I feel that I am still an educator,” Sabrina says. “Education is all about preparing your students for success. I inform and educate my real estate clients about the market and the transaction process, and prepare them to be successful as they make some of the most important decisions of their lives. Both buyers and sellers need to understand what is happening in the market and I give them up-to-date market analyses. I make sure that buyers have all the information they need to find a lender, choose a neighborhood and schools, assess traffic patterns, and even decide where to do their shopping. My clients and I are a team, and we work together to achieve their goals.”

Dedicated, hard-working, knowledgeable and honest, Sabrina is an excellent communicator and fluent Spanish speaker. Her friendly, outgoing personality establishes strong rapport and builds trust with buyers and sellers. “I love Houston and love to showcase all that this great city has to offer, especially to relocation clients. I tend to focus on sales in the Memorial area, Tanglewood, West University, Bellaire, The Heights, Sugar Land, Pearland, and Missouri City.”

Giving back to the community is a priority in Sabrina’s busy schedule. Now a sustaining member of The Junior League of Houston, her active JLH placements included mentoring teenagers and Head of Volunteers in the JLH Tea Room. Over the years, she has also volunteered for her children’s schools and their PTA groups.

Sabrina, her husband and two teenage children live in the Memorial area. When time permits, she enjoys baking, reading, spending time with her family, tennis, and traveling.
