    Vicki Barazandeh
    Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty
    About Vicki

    Broker Associate Vicki Barazandeh is as humble and as graceful as they come. But, with over 15 years in the real estate industry, she is proud of her top producer status among the likes of her experienced and prominent peers.

    With a successful business background, Vicki has established a successful career in real estate by applying her extensive knowledge in architectural design and new construction. Vicki prides herself in building life-long relationships, carefully listening to her customer's real estate needs.

    Vicki was first introduced to the real estate profession through her husband, an architect and industry home builder, and by helping many of her friends find homes. “Real estate was made for me to do,” she says. “I get a natural high each time that I can bring a buyer and seller together to reach a deal that leaves them both happy.”

    Vicki’s philosophy is that the customer is always right and she’s not afraid of criticism that helps put changes into motion. “What sets one Realtor apart from another is how they approach and resolve issues,” she says.

    Other major factors that set Vicki apart and make her a natural leader: creative marketing ideas for her clients, her willingness to work hard on their behalf, her availability, and her appreciation of the contributions of her staff. Vicki’s best marketing tool has always been her reputation—and most of her new business comes through the referrals of delighted clients who feel they were fortunate to have done business with her.

    “When you truly work hard and efficiently, thing will happen,” she says. “Working hard does not equate to showing up at the office. There must be a plan of action, goals, and follow through.”

    When asked what her biggest career achievement to date has been, she responds that she “hasn’t reached it yet.” But, she acknowledges that earning her Broker’s license was a big step.

    About Matthew

    Matthew is a native Houstonian and grew up on the city's north side. He graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor's degree in IT and now lives in Katy with his wife and son. After graduating from Baylor, he returned to Houston and continued working in the service industry.

Growing his technical background, Matthew eventually took a new opportunity as an IT Recruiter, where he was able to help people advance their careers. This role allowed him to integrate his passion for technology and people. After recruiting, he transitioned into an IT Manager position with another manufacturing company, where he increased his technical knowledge and honed his management skills. His next position as a Project Manager with a luxury home automation company opened his experience to a whole new set of skills, including managing multiple deadlines and the project life cycle. Additionally, it allowed him to see how following up with clients improved the customer service experience. Matthew saw a unique career opportunity that vastly deviated from his work, but it utilized his strengths and experiences in a way he felt passionate about. Transitioning into real estate has allowed Matthew to guide people through the confusing process of buying / selling residential properties.
