RENE: Real Estate Negotiation Expert

My Why? relates to what I love to do.

My passion for years has been in teaching music lessons. There is great satisfaction in guiding my students to become their best.

My God-given gifts are the following: Caring. Serving. Teaching. That is what I enjoy! I care deeply about my students. It is my privilege to build up their confidence. My satisfaction comes from seeing them make progress. They move from little knowledge or interest in music to be transformed into playing piano or expanding their voices. All this, while falling in love with the beauty of music. An extension of that is to see the pride and support from the parents and other family members. I have learned to observe what the music student is doing correctly and encouraging them to do more. Emphasizing the positives. Finding resolution to work through difficulties.

What I am good at doing connects to the same marketable skills as my gifts. My observation skills apply to real estate in listening to people's dreams and desires. Listening to others is natural for me. Helping people find their life satisfaction through the largest purchase most people make. My ability to teach allows me to explain the benefits of the market area as well as positive attributes of individual homes. Being able to present the advantages of particular choice or decision comes naturally from my desire to provide best in class service. Working with people in a collaborative manner to reach their goals. Overcoming the obstacles of the deal or financing, resolving the problem to everyone's mutual benefit.

My strong desire is to be involved with other real estate professionals that will allow me to be successful long-term. Whether directly or indirectly with your company, I hope to have a long-term relationship with you.

I seek to understand the important life changes to both buyers and sellers. What are the dreams of the buyer? What is motivating the seller? Are you moving to a home that fits your changing lifestyle? Right-sizing for more bedrooms for your growing family? Adding room for working at home? Finding your dream home in the suburbs?

My job as your REALTOR® is to help your family focus on what is important. For me, listening to others has always been the beginning of understanding what they are seeking in life. Giving full attention to the details of life for my friends and customers. Asking the right questions. Answering questions. Researching solutions for your family's best interest and value. Presenting alternatives to deliver the home that meets your dreams.

My family relocated from Aberdeen Scotland to Houston, Texas in 1995 with my husband's job in the oil industry. I can remember how challenging it was to coordinate the move with children ages 4, 7, and 10; trying to find the right schools, the right activities, and the right house (not to mention driving on the wrong side of the road)! We did it though and we love it here. My goal is to help make your move as easy as possible so that you can love it here too!

Over the many years I've had the opportunity to explore and become familiar with most of this great city; whether it be through the connections my kids made while attending an international or local school or socializing with our friends from all over the world.
