Experience is a differentiator, and Sherry Campbell has more than a decade of it in the luxury market. A pro at helping international relocation clients find the high-end homes of their dreams, Campbell, founder and broker at Energy Realty, understands the intricacies involved in a global move. She’s lived in Paris and Gabon herself.

“It’s easy to get a license, but it takes a lot of work, reading and training to become a professional,” she says. “It has taken me 15 years to have the knowledge I have about how to buy and sell a home.”

Campbell focuses on the Energy Corridor, Katy and Memorial, areas she knows well from raising a family there. A journalist by degree, she uses her strong communication skills to write compelling property descriptions and negotiate effectively. In the past, she owned a coffee shop and ran several businesses, honing her marketing and management skills. The experiences paid off: Energy Realty grew to 35 agents in just nine years. Besides running an office, Campbell ranked last year in the top 100 of 35,000 Realtors in Houston, proving that she can pivot in any market and remain available to both her clients and her Realtors.

Clients hire Campbell to guide them through the buying or selling process and offer recommendations for everything from remodeling to staging a home. This concierge-style service has resulted in 80% of her business coming from repeat clients.

A member of the Greater Houston Luxury Group and founder of the Houston Relocation Network, Campbell has been named a Five Star Professional for nine consecutive years, featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, and ranked a top Realtor by the America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents website. “I am very driven and work long hours for my clients,” she says. “But I tend to make everything seem easy and laid-back.”
