Ambitious and driven, Harris Benson began his career right out of college in the management training program for Netherlands-based company Pon Holdings B.V. After four years with the company, Harris learned that success in business is all about relationships, responsiveness and communication, which are essential for high-level customer service. His understanding and passion for these factors led him to pursue his long-time interest in real estate. As a sales associate, Harris strives to offer his clients a positive, outcome-driven experience that results in 100 percent satisfaction from every transaction. While working for Pon Holdings B.V. in Amsterdam, Harris developed and implemented process improvement strategies for the Netherlands/Norway/Sweden/Denmark division of Caterpillar, but it was his transfer to the company's Material Handling Division (Equipment Depot) that ultimately brought him to Houston where his interest in customer service seriously began to take rise. It was his regard for the people, culture and diversity of Houston that made him fall in love with the city that he now considers his home. Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, with deep Louisiana roots, Harris chose to attend Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge where he majored in business management and minored in psychology. Harris is the youngest of three brothers and is extremely close to his family, who now live in New Orleans. Growing up he learned the importance of service to others and spends his volunteer hours as the Assistant Director of Community Outreach for the Young Adult Division of the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston.

High-rise living in Houston took off in the 1980s and has been on a trajectory of rapid expansion ever since. Renown architects are re-imagining our city's brilliant skyline in every corner of town and with it, reinventing the very idea of vertical living. Realtor Rosie Meyers–long known as the high-rise expert–arguably knows the urban market for mid-rise and high-rise luxury condominiums better than anyone else. For more than four decades this award-winning real estate agent has lived the convenient "lock and leave" lifestyle high above the clouds and is so much more than an authority on the numerous developments all around the city–both new and old–which offer appealing, albeit wide-ranging amenities from rooftop pools and dog spas to barista bars and lounges replete with golf simulators. Not only is Rosie an high-rise expert, she shines when marketing and negotiating homes for sale as well. From bungalows to mansions, she has represented a gamut of real estate, all while keeping her focus on what is most important-her clients. Meyers is a valuable resource to buyers and sellers in this competitive market; armed with a cadre of experienced contractors, engineers, architects, and designer contacts, not to mention experienced mortgage professionals who can make the process of buying and selling a home–and perhaps modifying it–a lot less stressful. Moreover, Meyers and her trusted working partner, Shannon Sullivan, take the time to get to know each of their clients and can quickly ascertain the style of home that suit their needs best. In 2019 Meyers was inducted into the John Daugherty Realtors Hall of Fame, one of the most coveted lists to be included upon. In addition, she was named to the firm's Society of Distinction, an honor bestowed upon their top-producing agents who embody best-in-class sales records and reflect the values and character of this reputable brokerage.
