ABR: Accredited Buyer Representative

Catherine Reilly has spent her career in real estate related services, first on the financial side and then as a Realtor. She knows all facets of the business and has a passion for her work.

There is nothing better than going to the closing table and celebrating the purchase or sale of a clients home, she said. I enjoy making sure my client's are nothing but happy.
I've even worked with clients for three years to make sure they find the 'right' home. It's my priority to never push through a sale.

She has great childhood memories of her parents' first home, purchased in Houston's Meyerland subdivision. I remember that house vividly and the Easter egg hunts in the backyard. How the neighborhood has changed since 1966, Catherine said.

Catherine is an agent who has experience working on all sides of a real estate transaction. She began her career in finance as a bank teller, and later a bank manager of First Heights Bank. She has experienced the savings and mortgage-lending crisis while originally managing a portfolio of up to 600 bank foreclosures. It was during that time when Catherine was awarded her real estate license. Also, because of her training as a bank manager, she was required to learn how to qualify buyers for a mortgage loan and also holds her license to lend with the State of Texas. There is nothing more disappointing than having buyers think they are able to purchase a home only to find out they aren't qualified after all, she said.

Knowledge of Houston's diverse communities has allowed Catherine to represent clients throughout the area. Her childhood was spent in Galveston, Texas, enjoying everything about being by the water. She lived in the Galleria as a young adult, and then married and settled in Katy, where she's watched the amazing growth over the past 31 years. Because of her ethics she's gained the trust of clients throughout the Houston ar

For more than 16 years, Katherine Brown has been making Houston real estate dreams a reality with her quick wit, masterful organization skills and ability to make every client feel like her only client. She truly listens to the needs of buyers and sellers, and she excels at creating winning strategies to meet their expectations, knowing how to pivot and recalibrate as necessary. The co-founder of The Brown Group at Compass alongside her husband Keith, Katherine has earned a stellar reputation for her astute analytical skills and unrivaled understanding of the Houston real estate market. Clients commend her warm partnership approach, keen eye for detail and talent for pointing out each home's positives and negatives. Katherine's abiding philosophy is that anything is possible with hard work, focus and a lot of laughter.

Before entering the real estate profession, Katherine was a small business owner and an executive assistant working for C-suite professionals in the banking, energy and commercial real estate industries. She credits those roles with cultivating her sharp business acumen and world-class multitasking abilities. Katherine's love of architecture and interior design led her to real estate, and she's continued to hone her craft with Certified Negotiation Expert, Seller's Representative Specialist, Accredited Buyers Representative and Social Media Pro designations. Katherine and The Brown Group serve clients throughout the Greater Houston area and Fayette, Washington, Austin and Colorado counties.

Katherine and her husband reside in a vintage bungalow in The Heights, where they love the fantastic shopping and dining and the relaxed, eclectic vibe. In their free time, they can be found with their beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniels at their 100-year-old farmhouse in Round Top.

Helping buyers and sellers with their real estate transactions is both a gratifying and rewarding experience for Ina Perlman. And, judging by the repeat business and referrals her clients send her, it is evidently a rewarding experience for them as well.

Ina’s real estate career began when her own house in Houston was sold and her real estate broker invited her to come on board as an agent. Ina was a top producer for their firm for 12 years prior to joining Martha Turner Properties in 2000. She continues to excel, attaining membership in the Circle of Excellence every year and joining the Hall of Fame in 2005. Ina has earned the Accredited Buyer Representation (ABR) and Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designations, and was named one of Texas Monthly magazine’s Five-Star Real Estate Agents.

For Ina’s buyers and sellers, this translates into an opportunity to work with a top producing agent who places their needs first and foremost and accomplishes the results they want. Ina believes in personalized service and is dedicated and committed to delivering the very best that her expertise can provide. Knowledge is power for her buyers and sellers. Ina provides pertinent information relating to each individual real estate transaction as well as providing specific information about the Houston community that includes area schools and both neighborhood and recreational details.

“There is a lot of hard work involved in being successful in real estate,” affirms Ina, “but the bonus is the friendships made along the way.” When selecting your next Realtor, call Ina and hear her say, “I’d love to be your Realtor.”

Linse skillfully leads clients through the new build process, working to knock down the price of inventory homes and negotiating for thousands in design center upgrades.

She advises clients on when to sell homes quickly as-is or when to make strategic upgrades to get a better price point. And she shows families how to invest in rental properties as a path to a healthy financial future.

I am genuinely enthusiastic about real estate, yet my passion surpasses the typical closing excitement. My passion begins at the basics exploring the property, learning the client's desires and behaviors, then empowering them by educating on every step of the real estate process. Before beginning my career in real estate, I bought, revitalized, and sold my own homes which peaked my interest and after moving to Texas, I decided it was time to help others. When I began my real estate career in 2014, I accepted less of the agent role and more of an educator and advisor to each of my clients.

As a graduate of Cal State University - San Marcos, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business with an emphasis in Marketing. I am also an active member of the community, taking on numerous leadership positions. I served as the Women's Council of Realtors Fort Bend Network Secretary (2016), President-Elect (2017), and WCR President (2018). In 2019, I transitioned to the Houston Association of Realtors Fort Bend Network Chair. My mission as a Real Estate Advisor is to ensure that my clients' experience is seamless. I am committed to my clients from beginning to end and pride myself on honesty, through communication, and determination. My loyal clientele, personal referrals, and repeat business are the building blocks of my career. When not serving my clients' needs, I supports my three children, Kaden, Kaleb, and & Kasen at their football, basketball, and track events. In my free time, I enjoy working out, traveling to new places, and experiencing new restaurants in the Houston area. My clients love working with me because I am 100% dedicated and determined to make it all happen while providing a level o
