"Candace was truly exceptional from start to finish. My wife and I actually met her at an open house, and we were so impressed with her knowledge, friendliness, and drive, that we decided to work with her when we got serious about finding our home. From day 1, she set expectations for what the process would be like and communicated clearly, even after closing. She was always available when we had questions and made a very stressful time a lot easier. She has a wealth of knowledge about I would recommend Candace to anyone looking in the Katy area or greater Houston metro."

"Candace is very knowledgeable and made navigating our first time home buying experience easy and exciting She is very responsive and has a deep network of connections to help with the process in addition to her great market analysis skills. Additionally, she went out of her way to help us find our perfect home in an area not typically serviced by her and helped develop a winning competitive offer, within budget, against multiple offers on the home. The inspection process went great and we were able to negotiate seller concessions within the options period to help cover some home updates.

She would maintain contact with all parties involved through the process to keep us informed on progress and was always eager to help guide us through any questions we had.

"Candace was an incredible support throughout the process of selling our house in Katy. She is highly professional and all the sales materials were impeccable. The pictures were amazing. She has a great understanding of the neighborhood. And is super friendly and nice to work with - she goes the extra mile. We ended up selling in a day and over asking price. We could not have found a better agent to work with."
