Experienced Realtor Mary Christ knows that top residential real estate production is about much more than contracts, procedures and comparable sales. Effective communication with clients, professional commitment, negotiation skills, attentiveness, and just plain hard work that exceeds expectations – every day – are equally important. Mastering all of these and more has placed Mary among Greenwood King Properties’ Top Producers since 2004.

Mary has been a Houston resident since the 1980s and focuses her sales in the city’s traditional, close-in neighborhoods. She assists sellers and buyers in her own neighborhood near Memorial Park, and from the Heights to Montrose, the Museum District, West University, Braes Heights, and Bellaire, to Tanglewood and the Memorial Villages.

A strong background in business and marketing gained during her years as a marketing executive at Compaq Computer gives Mary a solid foundation from which to advise and guide her clients, many of whom are eager to sing her praises.

Caroline H., both a seller and buyer, said: “I will use Mary for all of my Houston real estate transactions, and recommend her without reservation. I have worked with over 10 other realtors in the past; Mary is the best, and more than twice as good as the second runner up.”

Lauren N., a first-time home buyer, put it this way: “Mary was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. She was extremely responsive, always answered my emails/calls quickly, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. She was also a strong negotiator and I was comfortable that my interests were well-represented. She gave great advice and recommendations along the way.”

Darryl A., both a seller and buyer, said: “We just can’t say enough great things about Mary. She was always available to answer our many questions, and she had great judgment as we came to each and every decision point. She worked incredibly hard for us and with us… The bottom line is I would never want to use anyone else for buying or selling a house.”

Hard work and tenacity are life-long habits for Mary. She earned a MBA in Finance from MIT’s Sloan School of Management and prior to that she graduated from Occidental College with an A.B. in Math and Economics (double major).

Mary is involved in a number of community activities, though her key passion is her work as a docent at the Holocaust Museum Houston, helping to teach students and adults alike the dangers of prejudice and intolerance. When her busy schedule permits, Mary may be found practicing yoga, playing the piano, or digging in the dirt (aka gardening).

Native Houstonian Kate Cancelmo relishes her demanding real estate career and the diverse opportunities it presents for growth and success. Kate prides herself on going the extra mile in every transaction and providing unsurpassed client service. Her once nickname, "Can-do Cancelmo" captures that spirit to a tee.

Before becoming a Realtor, Kate worked in the investment management industry, an experience she says honed her communication skills and now helps her to be one step ahead of her clients. "There's such a sense of fulfillment when I've helped my clients gain what they set out to achieve," she says.

Kate attended West U Elementary, Lanier Middle School, and Lamar High School. From there she went to Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Virginia where she graduated with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications. During college, Kate spent a semester abroad studying art and architecture in Paris while absorbing the culture from her French host family. Kate credits her education and upbringing for her ability to envision the potential in a house that is less than perfect. She uses her eye for architecture and interior design to suggest possibilities buyers may not have considered and to guide sellers as they prepare their homes for sale.

Kate also spent cherished summers in the Texas Hill Country at Camp Mystic. "I'm still in touch with my Mystic friends and greatly value those relationships. My growing network has taught me that you never know where your connections will take you, and I now use those resources to benefit my buyers and sellers."

Kate shares a love for the outdoors with her brother, a TCU graduate, and her parents who taught her the meaning of hard work and the importance of helping others. Kate serves as a Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Breeders Greeters Committee Member and Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation – Stewards of the Wild Houston Chapter Member. She is a parishioner at St. Anne Catholic Church, enjoys playing league tennis, cooking, and walking her Irish doodle, Rita. 

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.
