Chris listened and understood within the first meeting the exact home characteristics we desired. On day 2, every house we were shown, specifically in the Katy Community, checked all boxes. The time Ruth and Chris dedicated to us, especially since we were mostly on the west coast during transactions, was truly appreciated! Especially loved their positive attitudes and outlook!

Ruth and Chris are our go-to real estate agents in Katy and specifically, in Nottingham Country. They are so professional and know the neighborhood inside and out. They were able to successfully help us both in leasing our home and buying our next one. It was such fun working with them and we knew we were in good hands from day one. When any issues popped up, they had workarounds and solutions at the ready that kept the home buying process moving forward and on time. Whether you’re renting, buying or selling, this is your team and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

When we made the decision to sell our almost 4000sqft home and downsize to a 2000sqft home, the decision did not come easy. As empty nesters, we wanted something much smaller, closer to the current home we were going to sell and in a great neighborhood; Ruth and Chris made the process a lot less stressful for us. We interviewed 5 different realtors and Ruth and Chris were by far the best. Their strategy for selling our home, buying a new home and doing both within a time frame where we can move from one house to the next, without having to use a storage unit, couldn't have been executed more soundly. The process did not come without it's hiccups but Ruth and Chris mitigated all issues with a cool head and with a rapid response. In the end we are in our forever home and are looking forward to many years in our new neighborhood and since we are still nearby our old neighbors, we get to share our new memories with them as well. I highly recommend Ruth and Chris to anybody who is looking to sell or buy a home. In my opinion, they are the best realtor team in Houston!

Ruth and Chris made the process of finding a house for my son as stress free as possible given the fact we had to sell a house in the Austin area and purchase one in Houston. The house in Austin was under contract in the first two days it hit the market. Therefore we were pressured to find something in Houston pretty fast. Getting the timing right is so difficult but we did it with Chris's help. Ruth and Chris also gave guidance on the Austin sale which helped out tremendously. My son and I were stressed after one house did not work out due to timing that I was bothering Chris even on Father's day. But even with family around I still came first with Chris calming me down saying I promise you the right house at the right price and time will come. It did! A brand new house, which was our preference but most neighborhoods had no quick move ins, appeared. The original buyer was unable to sell his house so the house was put back out for sale. We grabbed that gem right away. It fits my son's needs and is in a nice neighborhood with plenty of amenities. Chris also attends the walk through and is very knowledgeable when it comes to looking for problems so they get fixed before move in as well as negotiating. He is very charming. I highly recommend Ruth and Chris for your homebuying needs.

Chris and Ruth are modern day wonders, superheroes without capes! My cousin referred Ruth and Chris to me when I was looking to buy a house for my mother in Katy in early 2021. My cousin stated that they were “highly efficient,” “fast” and “extremely competent.” These words, however, do no justice to how exemplary Chris and Ruth are as professionals and, more generally, as human beings. They are, without question, two of the most trustworthy, conscientious and genuinely decent people you can hope to find. I had never purchased a house before, and I was nervous and wary of the process. As I live in Europe, managing a purchase from abroad was even more daunting, particularly given the escalating housing prices and volatile economy. Chris set me at ease from the very outset. Not only is Chris almost supernaturally upbeat, energetic and affable, he is calm and unflappable in the face of a stressed and sometimes mercurial and often demanding client (me). He took the time to discuss my many concerns, answer my many questions and treat my mom with utmost respect and good-natured humor as they scoured the neighborhoods for a house to my mother’s liking. When nothing suited, he suggested that we consider constructing a house of our own—something that I had almost immediately discounted given how complex and burdensome the process seemed. But Chris walked me through it, onboarded Ruth to answer questions on the contract and financing side, and off we went! Setting aside the remarkable personality traits that make Chris and Ruth such a pleasure to work with, they are also exceptionally competent and highly knowledgeable about the housing market. Ruth was with me every step of the way when it came to the documents, taking late night video calls to explain provisions to me and tirelessly fielding questions from me on the weekends. She liaised with the builder, fought for concessions, and dedicated tremendous effort to peacefully iron out any hiccups between the builder and myself. Ruth’s steady, skillful hand was a huge factor in pulling me across the finish line. All this commitment, even though she had just become a new mom! As we were constructing the new house, we also had to sell my mother’s townhouse, and we wanted to time the sale of the townhome with the closing on the new house. I thought this would be a difficult feat, but we engaged Chris to handle the sale and its timing, and he, in his usual, relaxed but efficient style, made it seem effortless. When he walked into the townhome for the first time to inspect the premises, he eyed the various rooms and offered suggestions as to what we could do to improve the townhome’s value, while advising against taking certain other actions that he felt would increase our costs without adding value. I was impressed by his keen insights and ability to survey the property so effectively, without being the least bit overbearing. Chris handled the sale beautifully, obtaining more than our asking price. On closing day for the new house, as we were signing documents at the title company, Chris appeared, beaming and bearing gifts for us to congratulate us on our new home. Even after the closing, Ruth and Chris never hesitated to help with whatever additional questions or requests I might have. They are remarkable people. Our trust runs so deep that my entire family has partnered with Chris and Ruth for all of our home purchases and sales—five and counting! I cannot recommend them highly enough!
