Kathryn Scott

If you ask Kathy Scott to name the quality that most sets Houston apart from other major metropolitan areas in the country, her immediate reply would be “the people”. “Houstonians are notoriously open, friendly, and fun” she says. “And even though Houston is a big city, it’s also a small world – because people are so friendly, it’s amazing to see how many people know each other, or know a friend of a friend. Sooner or later, everyone has a connection!”

If you ask Kathy what made her choose a career in residential real estate, her answer will be the same – “the people”. “Buying or selling a home can be one of the biggest economic transactions in a person’s life, and assisting them as a Realtor® is not only an important service, it’s also a great way to create new relationships with wonderful people.”
