GRI: Graduate REALTOR® Institute

Native Texan Yvonne Meyer hails from Menard in the Texas Hill Country. A graduate of the University of Texas, she has called Houston home since 1966. More than 30 years ago, Yvonne began buying and refurbishing older properties to use as rentals. She has been actively involved in selling residential real estate for nearly 25 years. Her success has placed her in the Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty’s Circle of Excellence and the company’s coveted Hall of Fame. A special honor and one dear to her heart is the Houston Chronicle’s 2005 “Sold on Your Realtor” award, which was bestowed based on testimonials from her many past and present clients. Yvonne has also earned a GRI designation and completed her ABR designation.

“Real estate is the best profession I know,” says Yvonne. Each transaction is different, as each client’s situation is unique to them. Helping someone find their home, whether it is their first, third, or an investment property, is always rewarding. But, the rewards of this business are numerous. The friendships I have developed from my business are invaluable. My clients are my referral base. A referral is the greatest compliment I can receive. The first job is to determine clients’ goals and listening is a prerequisite to helping a client. I remind myself – daily – to listen. Giving excellence in service to each client is my goal.”

“My move to Martha Turner Properties, now Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty, in 2003 was the best professional decision I could have made,” says Yvonne. The advantages I receive from my association with this company are advantages for my clients. The company believes strongly in continuing education, and the more knowledge I have, coupled with my increased ability to access information sources, means my clients are also more informed. Keeping up with market trends, technology and neighborhood concerns are important in helping my clients, and here at Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty we are given the tools to do this.”

A resident of Woodland Heights, Yvonne is an active supporter of the March of Dimes, Casa de Esperanza de los Ninos, and Opera in the Heights. Her son and his wife also live in the Heights with their infant son, making Yvonne a very happy grandmother!

Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty Circle of Excellence member Annie Raburn sells homes from River Oaks to The Woodlands. A resident of Pine Shadows for over 27 years, Annie focuses her marketing in Tanglewood and surrounding neighborhoods. She is very experienced in helping relocation clients and assists clients throughout the Houston metropolitan area. Annie is a consistent top producer who is recognized in the industry for outstanding production.

Annie has done everything in real estate from on-site sales for a condominium conversion in downtown Houston to managing a real estate firm for nine years. However, her first love is helping clients sell and purchase their homes – just as it was when she started her career over 14 years ago. “I find it very rewarding to match the needs of a client to just the right house,” Annie says. “Over the years many clients have become personal friends. My interest in them is not merely as their agent but reflects genuine concern for them as individuals. Once you have established a relationship with clients regarding such a personal and important transaction as buying or selling a home you want to preserve that relationship in order to help them in the future.”

Customer service is paramount for Annie. “My husband and I previously owned a well-known freelance court reporting firm for twenty-plus years and I learned that service is king - regardless of the product,” she says.

Annie is a member of St. Theresa Catholic Church in the Memorial Park area and serves on the pastoral council. She has chaired the annual fundraiser for the church and school. Annie loves to cook and entertains with frequent dinner parties for family and friends. She and her husband collect art and enjoy visiting art galleries and museums.
