This week United Real Estate announced that Christie Vu has been appointed to the newly created position of growth and operations manager for the company’s Houston Regional Office.

“Christie has a long track record of efficient and effective management and will be a great asset to our company,” said Rick Haase, president of United Real Estate.

Previously, Vu served as the director of operations for Houston-based brokerage Realty Associates. She brings 14 years of managerial and organizational experience to her new role with United, where she will focus on recruiting, compliance and growth.

“I am thrilled to join United Real Estate because of their company culture. Every team member I have interacted with is like minded in their vision of success,” said Vu in a written statement. “The one thing that resonated was the idea that we are better as a team than we are individually. The team truly listens to one another, whether in moments of successes or challenges, and allows an open forum for constructive feedback.”
