About

2 Vieux CarreWith a general curiosity for anything that is beautiful, I write this blog to inform, entertain, annoy, and perhaps bother those who love real estate and all things associated with it. In it, you will find information about homes, design, communities, shops, people, and of course, me. I am a sales consultant with Fedrick, Harris Estate Homes, a division of Newmark Homes Houston specializing in the fabulous and the exquisite. An internet lover, a computer geek with strong affinity for macs, and somewhat of a design junky, nothing excites me more than helping others realize what’s beyond their realm of possibility.

SpikeI am an animal lover and my companion Spike is a big part of my life. My background is in classical music and have a passion for what is considered the classical visual and performing arts, as well as folk and cultural artistic traditions. I find myself in Houston after quite a lot of travel, having now become my home. Hope this information will help you find yours.

In crafting a home for a buyer, I concentrate on design. Although price is always an important consideration, too often people concentrate on what they are paying rather than what they are receiving. A home is more than an investment, it’s a place where a family will hold birthdays, thanksgivings, and holidays. Let’s make it not just an investment. Make it beautiful.

The ideas expressed in this blog are not specifically in relation to my employer Newmark Homes Houston, but rather anecdotes and information I have learned and gathered through my life as a sales consultant.
