Bob Christian is the Founder and Head Agent Motivator for Upside Real Estate in the West Houston/Katy area. Our award-winning agents & brokers have been consistent top producers for almost 20 years.
Bob and his wife Jennifer are proud Cinco Ranch residents where they continue to raise their five children. Their children have all grown up through the local Elementary, Jr High, and Cinco Ranch High School, so Bob is very familiar with the local community and Katy ISD schools. Together, Bob & Jenn have lived in the Katy/West Houston area for over 35+ years.
Bob's family has also been involved in the Greater Houston area real estate industry for over three generations. As a little boy, I fondly remember riding with my Grandfather as he would make his rounds checking on investment properties and building projects and visiting with tenants. Those fond memories are what initially drew me to real estate where I have found my passion.
With passion and hard work comes success. Our team's amazing success can be directly attributed to our individual relationships with our clients. We promise to provide excellent communication and customer service, whether you are buying, selling, or leasing. When selling your home, you can also be assured that we will not just stick a sign in your yard and wait!
Rest assured that if you seek proven professionals, you do not have to look any further than Upside Real Estate.

Erik, it definitely sounds like you have most of the problem worked out. I am not aware of a form that would cover this and in all of my years, I have never really needed one. The biggest caution I can make to you is before you do any of this, is to make sure that your title company is completely on board and part of the process. The contract can be between the vendor and the homeowner and a copy should be provided to the title company along with all contact information so that the agreement for the vendor to be paid upon closing is clear and established prior to the work being done. After that, you should be good to go. Best of luck to you.
There are a few tools that can actually give you some of this information. The tool I believe you are referring to is the “ListHub Dashboard” tool. It has a ton of great data about your listing data and the tracking stats amongst Zillow and Homes.com. It definitely let you know which one of your properties is getting the most attention. Another great tool I have used for years to help inform my clients and also keep me updated as to the traffic stats of my listings is called “MarketInsight”. This tool provides your client with quite a bit of detail on web traffic and statistics to your clients email directly on a recurring basis that you set. You can also CC yourself so that you and your clients are on the same page. You will need to make sure that you are a platinum member in order to take advantage of this tool. I hope this information is helpful.
Platinum agents are empowered by the most innovative and powerful technology tools HAR has to offer which are designed to enable clients with premium content, faster response time, rating and review, and many marketing tools. Learn More ↗
