“Lisa Iglesias is an exceptional realtor. When we found her, we were flustered ex-pats new to Houston and the USA and totally overwhelmed. Lisa was impressive right away in that she could explain (and had maps!) of different subdivisions, could explain the pros and cons of each one, and had extensive knowledge of schools and trends. When we met her we felt like we could finally take a breath. Throughout our home buying experience Lisa was always prepared, often having asked for seller's disclosures or other relevant documents ahead of time. She knew flooded areas to the point of what streets had been impacted and what level of water. Lisa is prompt, professional, smart, patient and actually voices an honest opinion. As a bonus, Lisa has a keen eye for interior design which was helpful in envisioning how a space could look with a few updates. Houston Properties Team as a company also seems streamlined and professional. We appreciated they had a referral for literally any service person we asked about. Lisa, thank you!” - Jenna Stuckey (Google Review)
