How do you distinguish yourself from the crowd of agents? I distinguish myself from other agents just by being who I am, a woman who does business with the utmost integrity and puts my clients’ best interest first. By being born and raised in the Houston area I feel that I have the home-court advantage and would like to say that I know the city and its surrounding areas extremely well. I started out as a processor assistant with a mortgage lender, and that gave me an understanding of how important time and accuracy are when dealing with a transaction.

What is the most difficult aspect of your job? When communication is a problem. In this business, whether it’s agent-to-agent or agent-to-client, communication is the key and there always has to be a clear line of it.

    Shara is amazing!!! She helped us locate our home and in no time we were at the closing table. She helped make our home purchase a breeze. Constant communication with us is what we really appreciated. I’d highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking to buy or sell a property.
