About Teresa

Why Not Hire A Pro That Actually Closes? Looking to buy or sell a home in Houston or surrounding areas? You've come to the right place! When you work with me, you not only receive individual professionalism, you have access to the "network". Keller Williams Platinum is one of the top ten offices in Texas with one of the most experienced broker/owners in the country. It's not hard to be confident with the talented people and resources that are in my corner. Previously, I was an assistant to Top Producing Realtors for 10 years! Personally, I lead an active life which includes a regular workout routine(4-5 times a week), yoga, sculpture, and donating blood to save lives. I enjoy volunteering by tutoring young children one afternoon a week and assisting at various church activities with my family. Combining community and family values with my work ethic allows me to service clients needs for a short period of time, as well as create life-long relationships. #prosthatclose

About Carla

I am a real estate agent committed to help you find your next home, not just a house. I am South African by birth and American by choice.

Whether you are buying or selling, leasing or investing - I am COMMITTED to YOU. My passion for helping people stems from my own experience with moving and I remember all to well the stress associated with that. We are all on our own journey - but let me help to make yours an enjoyable and memorable one. Current Memberships include:
