Mickie advocates for her clients more than anyone I've ever worked with. She's doesn't miss any details.I wound up saving me a considerable amount of money. She'll be my realtor as long as she wants to keep working.

Know Mickie C for years. Used them for property management,selling our home and selling our business. They are like family! Have them help you with your real estate needs.

Luis Linan

I recently worked with Mickie to list my rental property, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. She was incredibly professional, handled the listing with care, and stayed on top of every detail until the lease was signed. Highly recommend her services to any property owner!

Michael Knierim

We've trusted Mickie to help us buy four houses. When searching for our latest house, I told her that open water was a must. Mickie helped us get our dream home on the open water for a great price. She is the best in the Houston area!

Tim Stoever

Mickie and her team are phenomenal. Our first experience with Mickie was years ago when she represented the seller of a home we were purchasing. We were so impressed that we made it a point to hire her when we were ready to move. We already had lofty expectations and Mickie far suprassed these. She truly has her clients' best interest at the forefront of everything she does. She helped us navigate some stressful challenges, utilized her vast network to gain max value for our sale, and fought for us a purchasers to get an amazing deal. Not only is she a fantastic realtor but she's also a great person. In an industry where most agents just care about collecting a commission, Mickie truly cares about her clients happiness first and foremost. People like her are rare and I couldn't imagine doing business with anyone else.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Mickie C. She is the definition of a consummate professional, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity. From the moment you become her client, she takes care of every detail involved in buying or selling a home, making what could be a stressful process feel effortless. I first met Mickie twelve years ago when we purchased our home. She was the buyer’s agent at the time, and I was immediately impressed by her tenacity and determination to secure the very best deal for her clients. She’s a tough negotiator, but always with her client’s best interests at heart. I remember telling myself back then: when the time comes to sell this house, Mickie will be the one to list it. And that’s exactly what I did—and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Not only did Mickie successfully list and sell our home, but she also worked as our buyer’s agent for our new property. She and her team pulled off what I can only describe as a miracle. I was determined to transition directly from my old home into my new one without needing a temporary place in between, and Mickie made it happen. She negotiated the deal so skillfully that we closed on the sale of our home on Monday and, incredibly, closed on our new home just four days later, on Thursday! Throughout the entire process, I never once felt overlooked, uninformed, or uncertain. Mickie’s expertise and proactive communication gave me total peace of mind—I knew she was on top of every detail. Honestly, I cannot imagine how any of this could have been accomplished so smoothly, efficiently, and successfully without her. And beyond her professional excellence, Mickie is also just a joy to work with—approachable, fun, and genuinely caring. She doesn’t just handle transactions; she builds lasting relationships.

2018: Excellent experience with Julie and Dawn. They were always available and patient with us. We really found the perfect house for a family with very specific needs. Thank you! 2025: Worked with Mickie this time and the second experience was as good as the first.
