Katie knew the Heights inside out. Told us about a noisy bar two blocks away before we toured, and which streets flood and which don't. Nobody else gave us that.

Questions

The questions everyone asks.

Will Katie tell me the truth about my asking price?

Yes, even when it is not what you want to hear. She has told sellers a home would not appraise at their target, then found a buyer at the real number within weeks. You get the honest read, not the flattering one.

Do I pay anything out of pocket as a buyer?

It depends on the home and the buyer agreement we sign together. Each property is a little different, and you will see exactly how it works in writing before you tour anything, never after.

How accurate is Katie's home valuation?

It lands within about 3 to 5%, because it is built from real closed sales in the last 90 days, not an algorithm. Online estimators are routinely 7 to 15% off. You get the comps too, so you can check the math yourself.

Will Katie pressure me into a house I don't want?

No, the opposite. She will slow you down, point out problems in a home you are excited about, and talk you out of the wrong house. Clients routinely take many months and tour dozens of homes without ever feeling rushed. Patient is the word that shows up in review after review.

Does Katie really know Houston's neighborhoods?

Fourteen years, Houston only. She knows which streets flood and which don't, where the noisy bar is two blocks over, builder reputations, lot setbacks, and which side of which freeway you actually want. It is street-by-street knowledge, not a zip-code overview.

I'm moving to Houston and don't know it at all. Where do I start?

A discovery call. Katie maps your lifestyle, budget, and must-haves to 3 to 5 candidate neighborhoods, then sets up virtual tours so you don't waste a trip on the wrong part of town. People relocating from across the country say it felt like she had done their exact move ten times before.
