My husband and I were first time home buyers and we couldnt have been happier with our experience! I recommend our realtor, Catherine Sdao, to everyone I know. This process was incredibly foreign and stressful to us, but she did everything in her power to alleviate the chaos. Catherine provided all of the resources necessary to help us secure our home. Her service did not stop at closing - she was also a wealth of knowledge when it came to having reliable home repair connections. She was even so gracious to check-in to see how our home was doing after Hurricane Beryl. I dont know how it can get much better than Catherine!

Brooke helped us on multiple real estate transactions when we decided to look for a lot to build in Bellaire. She was awesome to work with, cared about our needs and helped us to find the perfect lot. She also helped us sell our old house and unexpectedly negotiate a lease agreement when a client approached her with an inquire to lease. She could have not brought this to us because it cost her a commission but she acted in our best interest. We leased our house for a year and then put it back on the market and she helped us sell it and we got more money than if we had tried to sell it the prior year. Overall awesome to work with and I highly recommend!

I recently relocated from Europe to the US and had the pleasure of working with Amber McClure as my realtor. Amber went above and beyond being just a realtor. She acted as a consultant, taking the time to understand not only my needs but also my familys needs. Her availability, responsiveness, and professionalism were exceptional. She patiently guided us through the process, allowing us to discover what we liked and didnt like in our new surroundings, and find the right home for us.What truly set Amber apart was her human touch, showing genuine care and making our relocation experience a positive one. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dedicated and personable realtor.

Being new to the country and searching for a rental home, we were looking for a realtor who not only had a strong knowledge of the local rental market but also had excellent communication skills and a proactive approach to finding the right property for us, considering our unique situation as expats.We chose Amber McClure because of her outstanding reputation in the real estate community and her track record of successfully helping families, including expats like us, find suitable rental properties. Her professionalism and dedication stood out to us from the beginning.We valued Ambers attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our rental search and lease process, taking into account our expat status, went smoothly. She kept us informed at every step and provided valuable insights that helped us navigate the unfamiliar rental market with confidence.Overall, our experience with Amber McClure in finding and renting our first and second homes in the US was exceptional, and we highly recommend her services to anyone.

I can say without a doubt that Julie ONeill is one of the best realtors in the biz. She made our selling process a breeze and got top dollar. I could go on and on about how passionate and professional she is, but can summarize by saying that you cannot go wrong with using Julie ONeill as your realtor.It’s so comforting to know you have someone you can trust to make these big decisions and handle the stressors that come along the way.Many thanks Julie, for a job very well done.

I just have great things to say about Norhill realty. Got to know about them and specifically our realtor Amber McClure from a couple of my friends. Heard great things about her and they couldn’t be any more true.We were looking to rent a single family home for me and my wife. Having a dog makes it a little hard since you are pinched for options.Amber made sure she found the best properties and was really proactive in taking to prospective owners beforehand and ensuring we made the best use of our house hunting time.She is there till the day you move in and even after to address any follow up issues.I would definitely use Norhill realty in the future if required. Strongly recommended!!

Our experience with Norhill was excellent. Our agent Jennifer Zapalac was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. She made the process of buying our first home as easy and painless as possible. She is caring and will explain every step of the process in detail. Will highly recommend working with her and Norhill to anyone looking to buy or rent.

We purchased and sold our home with Julie at Norhill Realty. Both experiences were amazing. It was awesome to have a Norhill expert to guide us through purchasing an old home in a historic district. Julie was honest and transparent about every home we saw and guided us to the perfect home. When it was time to sell, she was responsive and diligent which led to a quick sale at asking price! Her expertise made us comfortable through the sale process and everything worked out perfectly. We can not recommend Norhill Realty enough for buyers and sellers in the area!

I have known Mark for many years and he is one of the most trustworthy people out there. You can depend on him to help you and your family get where you need to be. My family and I have been looking for a home for years, and he would always keep in touch if he saw anything even at times when we felt there was nothing. We finally found our home and closed last week. Couldn’t have done it without him and his team!

When we were planning our to Texas, we had a lot of questions. We had no idea what the real estate market was like here and we were pouring over YouTube videos and social media. Trying to get an idea of what to expect. When I met Jennifer we connected. Jennifer has great ideas and helped us find our forever home. Do in large parts to her diligence, knowledge of the area, and persistence we finally found the perfect match for us. Wed highly recommend Jennifer.

Very happy with my house buying experience with Caty Gleason. She was responsive to every bit of communication. She took the time to search so many properties and see them with me. House buying is a huge process and can be stressful. Caty made it smooth and easy. Caty was a great communicator and showed up and helped me find a place that I love. I look forward to living in my new home for many years to come - Mary Elizabeth

Vincent from Norhill Reality is by far the best realtor I have ever working with. My family has been looking for the right home for ~5 years, and Vincent has been supporting us the whole time. Vincent has extensive knowledge in the Houston market, with our focus on Timbergrove specifically.Vincent was ALWAYS available and responsive throughout our search. I really appreciate all of his help and would recommend his services to anyone looking to buy / sell their home.Thank you Vincent! We look forward to many years in our new home!

Mark Brawley was a great asset to me as I navigated through my first home-buying experience. Mark was referred to me by a friend after he helped her and her husband buy their first home. Prior to beginning my property search, I interviewed several agents; however, at the end of the day, I felt as though Mark was the most responsive. He acknowledged all of my questions in a way that made me feel confident that he understood my needs. He also seemed genuinely interested in assisting me. Throughout the process, Mark demonstrated great working knowledge of the Houston area and the real estate market. The individualized search portal he created for me allowed me to view properties online at my leisure and narrow down my property search. When I was ready to view properties, Mark made himself available for showings while always accommodating my work schedule. When it came time for me to make an offer, Mark guided me through the negotiation process, and was quick and efficient with the paperwork. Throughout the process, I felt as though Mark genuinely had my best interest at heart, especially when unexpected issues arose with the seller just prior to closing. He kept me well-informed, and also worked collaboratively with my lender and escrow officer. Marks knowledge, expertise, responsiveness, and patience are all qualities that left me without any hesitation to recommend his services to other first-time home buyers (or anyone else, for that matter).

We recently worked with Mark Brawley to purchase a house. Mark is very responsive, easy to communicate with, and reliable. He is knowledgeable and if he didnt know an answer, he would find out and get back to us. He has a calm and thoughtful demeanor. Mark did not pressure us to purchase until we found the right home for us. I appreciate the suggestions and observations he had of the homes that we toured. This included suggestions on ways he has seen similar homes remodeled should we decide to make updates to a home. I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone looking to purchase a property!

Vincent helped my husband and me to buy our first house and, three years later, to quickly sell the same house when we were leaving Houston for new jobs. He was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. Our house sold at asking after three days on the market, and Vincent helped us navigate to a smooth closing.As we are first-time buyers and sellers, it was incredibly useful to have someone with the knowledge and experience to answer all of our questions about the house buying process, and to handle the negotiation. My husband and I are demanding clients, but Vincent always exceeded our expectations.As someone who has twice worked with Vincent, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Vincent. He is the ultimate professional and will represent you well.

We made the decision to go with Norhill Realty after our house had been on the market for five months. Our home was located in Cottage Grove near the Heights, which is a very desirable area. Regardless of how desirable our area was our home still hadnt sold. Mark Brawley was our real estate agent and he was nothing short of amazing. He pretty much handled everything that needed to be done and went above/beyond with extra duties getting the house fixed up since we had already moved to San Antonio - so, he pretty much coordinated everything. Within the first two weeks of switching to Norhill we had multiple offers come in on the house and within six weeks we closed on the home at our listing price. I highly recommend Mark and Norhill Realty.

Mark Brawley helped me buy my first house ever! The thing I appreciated the most about Mark is that he was always very honest about the houses we looked at--he would point out the good things and the bad. He even distracted a pushy selling realtor with well-timed questions so that I could explore one house without someone trying to influence me the whole time.Mark later helped me sell that house and my fiances house, and that was an equally great experience--he gave us advice on staging and a detailed list of things that we really needed to fix before putting the house on the market, things we could fix if we had time, and things that we didnt have to worry about. The house sold quickly and for close to the asking price.I definitely recommend Mark and Norhill Realty--theyre always honest, which is so important, and they really seem to care that their clients are happy with their home, whether theyre selling or buying.

We used Mark for both buying and selling our home. He was very professional and supportive throughout the process on both ends. The thing we liked most about Mark (especially when we were buying a home) is that he is not the typical aggressive and pushy agent, and doesnt try to convince you a home is the right one if its not. We were first time home buyers and he was very patient with our many questions. He is very familiar with the Heights area, which means he has a very solid knowledge of the comps AND the best tacos in the neighborhood :)

My realtor to sell my house was Vincent Biondillo. I would highly recommend Vincent if anyone is looking to sell or buy property in Houston. He started by providing an accurate estimate of what my property could bring. During the entire process he was accessible and always timely in answering my emails/texts or calls. It was not necessarily an easy sell, but Vincent was able to find the right buyer for my particular property. I do feel that Vincent went above and beyond in helping me sell my house. And, in the end, I got a price I needed and I can move forward with my plans. Thanks!

I found Amber McClure of Norhill Realty earlier this year when my husband and I suddenly decided to relocate to Houston. I reached out to Amber with extremely short notice and she responded in record time and was so kind and helpful. She went out of her way to help us find our rental home and we promised wed use her again when it came time for us to purchase a home...which we did! In fact, we, my parents and my in-laws all purchased homes here in Houston with Ambers help. She has honestly become a good friend of the family now and Norhill Realty made buying our first home swift and simple (as swift and simple as mortgage approval can be). Amber is extremely informed and intimately familiar with Houston and the real-estate industry; we really felt she had our backs. I cannot say enough praise for her or Norhill and would recommend them to anyone!

We worked with Vincent at Norhill and had a fantastic experience. We were moving from out of state, so Vincents experience was absolutely necessary. He helped us choose which neighborhoods to target, set up a two day house-hunting trip, and guided us through our first offer - when that fell through, he personally checked out rental homes for us and got us settled here. We just re-engaged in house hunting with Vincent in early 2018 and found an amazing home. Were very happy with how our home purchase went, and are grateful to Vincent not only for all of the help and smooth transaction, but for being such a great ambassador for Houston. Its not just about finding a home, but feeling *at home* in new city. Thank you, Vincent and Norhill!

We contacted Norhill Realty when we made the decision to sell our house in the Houston Heights because they are located in the neighborhood and we wanted a realtor who knew the area. We were very fortunate to reach Mark Brawley, as he was very knowledgeable about home sale trends in the Heights area and gave us his most straightforward recommendations based on his extensive experience with the market. Mark came out to our house the same day we called and answered all our questions we had about the whole process. Our house sold very quickly and Mark expertly guided us through the process the whole way. Mark ensured everything went smoothly and efficiently and we are extremely pleased. Mark helped us sell our home in Houston Heights and we highly recommend him if you are wanting to buy or sell a home in the Heights area.

My family used Mark Brawley at Norhill when selling our house as well as purchasing a new one. The detailed information that Mark provided with regards to both the selling and buying process was very accurate and timely and it helped ease us through a potentially stressful situation. Mark took into consideration the needs our of family when showing our property as well as assisting to find an appropriate a new area and house to live in. We would highly recommend Mark at Norhill Realty.

I cant say enough good things about Norhill, specifically our realtor Brook Marchive!! My husband and I moved to Houston from out of state as first time home buyers. Brook helped make the process easy AND fun! Her immense knowledge of the Houston area market was of extreme value to us. She took the time to listen to what we wanted and got to know us. Because of this, we were able to purchase the perfect home! By the end of the process, she felt more like a friend than just our realtor. Would 100% recommend.

My fiance and I recently worked with Vincent Biondillo to purchase our new Heights home. Vincent was patient (we began our search a long time before we bought our home) and clearly knowledgeable about the Greater Heights area. He provided honest and direct guidance without a putting pressure on us to make any decisions that made us uncomfortable. Vincent was able to speak at a level that worked well both for me (a second-time home buyer) and my fiance (a first-time home buyer). He was professional, responsive and friendly. As an experienced Realtor, Vincent has strong relationships with other agents, which benefited us throughout the process. I would recommend Vincent to anyone in the market to purchase a home in Houston.

I cannot say enough nice things about Mark Brawley. My first home-buying experience was almost effortless, thanks to him. He guided me through every single step in the process with patience. He is knowledgeable, hard-working, responsive, kind and honest. Marks contacts within the industry are just as great as he is. He recommended my lender, insurance agent and inspector. Mark responds immediately to calls, e-mails and text messages. Throughout the whole process, I felt completely confident that I was being taken care of. Mark is the only realtor Ive ever worked with, but I find it hard to beleive that there is anyone better.

When we found out that we were relocating due to work we met with several realtors looking for someone to help us sell our home in Houston Heights. Mark stood out based on how well he knows the area and understands the local market. He was very professional and responsive and helped us out with all questions along the way. Thanks to Mark we were able to sell our house in Houston Heights quickly and for a competitive price. I would highly recommend him if you are wanting to buy or sell a home in the heights.

Mark was the agent for the sale of our bungalow style home. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and open for us to decide on how to position our property in the market.It took us only 4 days to accepted an offer. The Norhill Realty team worked with us all the way to the closing day.

Mark was awesome to work with. He was on point at all times and helped keep my wife and I calm, cool, and collected throughout the entire first time home buying experience. Mark was like our personal advisor and went out of his way to research homes that would fit our criteria and budget, prepared comparable market pricing analysis and gave us valuable advice to help us buy a home in an extremely competitive market. I already recommended Mark to my friends and I recommend Mark to anyone looking for a superior service, honest and personal approach to the home buying process.

Mark recently helped us find and purchase our first home. It was a real pleasure working with him. We were very impressed with both his service and the services of everyone he recommended. As first-time home buyers, we came into the process with a lot of questions, but he clearly explained each step of the process. He was always very prompt in responding to questions and requests. He kept us well informed and on track so that there were never any surprises. A very smooth and painless (even pleasant!) home-buying experience! I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a realtor in the Houston area!

Vincent was absolutely amazing. We were first-time home buyers so we were a little nervous about what the process was going to entail. Vincent was able to navigate through our questions and concerns and always provided great insight. The entire process was a breeze. He was able to recommend some fantastic people that helped us throughout the rest of the home buying process. We would recommend him to anyone who needs a great realtor. Hes a genuinely good guy and we will be forever grateful for all of his help!

Mark has a really good grasp of the market - the price that he recommended for our listing was spot on and resulted in a timely offer that we were pleased with. I noticed that our house moved more quickly than other similar listings in our neighborhood. We also had a good experience on the purchase side. We did not have a clear idea of what we were looking for, Mark very patiently showed us many listings in multiple neighborhoods at multiple price points. He also did a good job providing guidance but not in an overbearing way. Five stars!

I dont think you can find a better agent than Mark. He helped me buy my first home so, needless to say, I needed a lot of help. He walked me through the process step by step and always seemed happy to answer my multitude of questions. He gave me very thoughtful advice and helped me troubleshoot issues with my insurance and lender.My flood policy was taking a really long time to come through (6 weeks) and was dangerously close to delaying my closing. I called and called and never got anywhere with it. After I expressed my concern to him, he offered to call my insurance agent to work it out. My policy came through that afternoon. I was really nervous about it, but Mark was calm, cool and collected.Mark was incredibly responsive. Anytime I sent an email or called him, he got back to me right way. Even the listing agent made a very positive comment about his responsiveness.I highly recommend Mark... so much so that I referred him to my parents (and they love him as much as I do)!

We recently sold our home with Mark at Norhill Realty and were very impressed with his service. We no longer live in Houston, and he went above and beyond to care for the home as it sat vacant. He kept the curb appeal up, regularly checked on the home, and even caught and cleaned up a small leak before it could cause much damage. Mark is the consummate professional, and his calm and steady demeanor proved invaluable during the negotiation process. While not always the case in past transactions with other realtors, we feel that Marks counsel and involvement in the process yielded a better result for us as sellers than we may have otherwise achieved. We highly recommend him to others looking for someone to represent them who they can trust will be in their corner.

I would highly recommend using Mark Brawley. He worked with my wife and I as we bought our first home. We came into the process with little to no knowledge and needed to be educated. Mark was not only able, but willing to educate us along the process and provide continuous patience. He made sure we were being realistic with our expectations and provided help to get into the house/neighborhood we wanted, even if we changed our minds several times.Mark was someone who was recommended to me by a friend and is someone I will recommend as well.

I first dealt with Vincent in his capacity as the sellers agent on a lot my wife and I purchased in the Heights in 2011. My experience with him then was so positive, I immediately asked him to be our agent when it came time to sell our house. Vincent worked with us for over a year, giving us advice and recommendations, as we slowly finished an addition and got our house ready to list. When we did finally list the house, the process was a breeze and Vincents attention to detail really came through. From the great photographs to his shrewd negotiating abilities, Vincent really topped the bar and closed a great deal on our house. I recommend Vincent to everyone looking for a great realtor.

Mark Brawley was highly recommended to me by two of my close friends. Mark listened and quickly understood the type and style of house that I was interested in, so it didnt take a lot of time to find the perfect home for me. Although I looked at lots of new listings that he emailed me every day, I ended up purchasing the second home that he showed me! Mark is also super responsive to all types of communication, and he wanted to make certain that all my questions and concerns are answered and clarified ASAP. In addition, he is very punctual and he showed up always on-time to all face-to-face meetings.

I LOVED Norhill Realty because they made the process incredibly seamless and informative under contract all the way to my closing date. Working with Gayle Adarkar was the most rewarding experience, and I am so happy that I had her on my side from start to finish. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable in the entire process and was honest with me every step of the way. As a first time homebuyer, I had a million questions, and Gayle had a million corresponding answers. By having Gayle as a skilled resource, I never had to guess what my next steps were and always knew what to expect next. I cannot express how appreciative I am of Gayles incredible diligence throughout the homebuying process. Thanks for everything!

My wife and I have worked with Mark Brawley as a realtor for several years and he has consistently served us effectively. He helped us sell our present home in record time, purchase our new home, buy and rent an investment property that has proven to be profitable. Mark also helped another family member sell her investment property just at the right time in a difficult housing market. Mark is knowledgeable, extremely patient with his clients, and will help detect potential problems as well as opportunities. He is always available to view a property at your convenience, and we both admire his ability to select the right price point for a transaction. Most importantly, Mark’s integrity is second to none!

He answered all the questions I had with high accuracy, responsiveness while pointing out aspects that I may not have thought of, impacts/consequences as well as benefits. He made my home buying experience a positive one. He also has an extensive network of connections that he can recommend if you dont already have contractors/inspectors/etc... that you like to work with. I would highly recommend him to any friends and family members, and will surely work with him again for my next home.

I was pleasantly surprised at the streamlined process of the sale of my home . Justin made the experience so easy from listing to closing all in a span of under two months. Justin understood that not only was he selling my home, but also offering the value of community to potential buyers. He kept me informed of all activity and provided his expert at opinions and advice when I was in need of some direction. This communication and honesty provided a close sense of a mutual partnership.

My wife and I worked with Mark Brawley to sell our house in Midtown, and being first time home sellers did not know what to expect. He first came to our house where we met for over an hour - answering all of our questions and giving us some pointers on what we could do to help the house sell. He was very helpful in explaining the entire process to us and what we could reasonably expect during the process - including pricing, sale timing, etc. During the sale process Mark was always available and answered our questions promptly and kept us informed of what was happening from the buyers side as well. From initial meeting to the day of closing I would most certainly recommend Mark Brawley and Norhill realty for the purchase/sale of your house.

I used Catherine Sdao from Norhill Realty to purchase my house in Cypress while I lived in another state. She was amazing, super patient, helped guide me every step of the way and answered all my questions, and probably showed me a trillion houses until I found the one I loved and she made it happen for me. She truly cares about her customers and the experience was not very stressful at all, thanks to her. I highly recommend Catherine!

I recently worked with Mark in purchasing my first home. I had just moved to Houston so naturally I had a lot of questions about the neighborhoods and etc. Mark was very nice and patient with me in answering all my questions and the things he wasnt sure about he would find the answers to them very quickly. He was definitely very knowledgeable and we ended up finding an excellent condo/townhouse in the midtown area all within my price range. I would definitely recommend Mark to everyone!

We didnt know anything about the different areas in downtown Houston before we started searching (we arent from the Houston downtown area), and Joel went above and beyond to show us around.

When we are ready to buy a house, we will definitely be back to work with Norhill Realty and Joel.

We worked with Mark at Norhill Realty, and we cannot recommend him enough! We met with three realtors before choosing Mark, and it was the best decision we could have made. Mark is professional, super quick to respond no matter if you prefer text, email or phone, and kept us on course throughout the whole selling process. When we started feeling worried or unsure that we werent making the right decisions, Mark was quick to provide logical, experience based suggestions to keep the deal progressing, and we always felt like he went above and beyond to ensure our interest in the deal was top priority. He stopped by regularly to check on our house since we lived about an hour away, and because of that he caught a leak early on that would have gotten much worse had he not been there. My wife was going into the hospital when we got his call, so Mark handled everything to get the situation back in order. We cannot thank him enough! I would recommend him to my family and friends in a heartbeat! Thank you again, Mark!!

My fiance and I were referred to Vincent at Norhill Reality by a family member. From our first meeting, several months prior to beginning our house hunt, we felt comfortable with Vincent and felt we could trust him to help us with one of the biggest decisions of our lives. Even though we were searching in neighborhoods outside his usual areas of expertise, he was more than willing to help us with research and planning and made many last minute arrangements to go view homes as they came on the market, often driving across town at the end or beginning of the day so we could work around our busy schedules. We finally found our home and the actual negotiations and purchase were relatively pain free, with all elements of the transaction communicated thoroughly ahead of time. Even the closing went quickly and smoothly. Throughout the home hunting process, which lasted several months, we enjoyed Vincents company and had a lot of fun during what was often a stressful process. We would be happy to work with him again...but hopefully not for quite a few years.

We had the pleasure of working with Norhill Realty to find our ideal house. Our agent, Brook Marchive, helped guide us through the insane market this year. We were trying to buy from another city and Brook went above and beyond to make it a great experience. Brook gave us video walkthroughs of the houses we wanted, helped us revise multiple offers, drafted our contract on her vacation, and worked hard to get us our perfect house. I highly recommend working with Brook Marchive, especially if you are trying to buy from out of the city!

My fiance and I were first time home buyers and Vincent / the Norhill team couldnt have been more helpful in walking us through the process, including providing advice / top-notch referrals in all areas (e.g. financing, title, valuation, contractors/repair work, etc). Vincent clearly has unmatched expertise when it comes to buying a home in the Heights and surrounding areas. We cant recommend Norhill enough.

Review №64

Super-fantastic. As first-time home buyers, we came to the table with a pretty solid idea of what we were looking for but limited understanding of how to go about obtaining that vision. Mark quickly recognized our needs and walked us through the process with patience and poise, never pushing us to compromise on that vision. Mark is hard working, reliable, and client-focused. We highly recommend Marks services and hope to enlist him as our go-to for any future real estate investments.

We really enjoyed working with Mark while we searched for our first home. He was knowledgeable about the areas we were looking in and helped us narrow our search down to the Heights where we found our first home. When the time came for us to move, he did a fabulous job selling our home and preparing it for market. We look forward to working with Mark again!

We recently closed on a Shepherd Forest home with Mark Brawley at Norhill Realty and had a great experience. Mark provided valuable and honest guidance on the good, bad, and ugly of each home we viewed. We are first time home-buyers so there was a lot of education needed and Mark was there for us every step of the way. We will be recommending him to any friends and family looking for a home in the area.

Vincent has now helped me buy three homes and sell one of them. He has been exemplary every time. In this most recent purchase, he actually helped me buy the house next door. My wife and knew wed need extra space and had discussed making an offer on the house (via a letter) for quite some time. When I finally spoke with Vincent about it, he helped me plan out the purchase financially and actually knew the owner already. We contacted him immediately - thanks goodness! It was about to go on the market, and we got it before it was listed. Our time frame was VERY tight, and he helped me manage the process and meet our aggressive deadline. I would highly recommend Vincent to anyone and would certainly use him again in the future.

I was a first time home buyer and really appreciate the manner in which Mark Brawley guided me through the process of home buying. He answered every question, gave his opinion and really listened to what I wanted in a home. He helped me identify what I like and what I could live without or didnt desire in a home. Then he made sure that I understand all that I was doing and worked with my crazy work and travel schedule to close my house in less than a month while I was out of the country.I hear this process is supposed to be one of the most stressful ordeals in your adult life and Mark helped make it manageable and an enjoyable experience. I learned a great deal through this process and would recommend Mark to anyone desiring an honest, knowledgeable, and responsive agent.

As a new resident to Houston, I had no idea what I was getting into, on top of being a new home buyer entering a hot housing market. I am thankful I found a realtor like Vincent at Norhill. Him being a native Houstonian was a huge benefit; he took the time to show me the neighborhoods and understand pros and cons of each. He understood what I was looking for and did not take me to properties that did not meet my needs or my budget. He was completely honest about the properties and did not try to sell me above my budget, his honesty extended to when it came to bidding to properties (I went through three offers) by using his expertise to properly gauge the values and long term investment potential, so I did not overpay. I am grateful for his honesty, because I ended up finding & buying my dream house! He was extremely prompt, timely, and responsive through the entire process. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Houston. He helps you from start to finish and beyond! Thank you, Vincent!

I have nothing but good things to say about Jennifer Z. of Norhill Reality. I knew from the first interview that she was the right agent for me. She was professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure my property stayed in great shape all the while keeping within my budget while it was on the market. I had to be away while selling the property and Norhill made everything easy and seamless. Thank you Norhill and Jennifer !!!

Norhill Realty is an outstanding real estate company. They tailored their approach to help us sell our home in a very short period of time. Their professionalism and personal contact made the experience very pleasurable. Vincent Biondillo was our realtor and he was exceptional with his timely communications to keep us updated on the status of our property and to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend Vincent and Norhill Realty to anyone seeking to buy or sell their homes.

Review №73

Mark Brawley was my buyers agent in 2013, during the midst of Houstons buying frenzy when decent homes could sell within days of listing and at $5-15k over the asking price. It took about a year to find the right property as a consequence, and due to its protracted nature the search became a little stressful. After looking at many properties and putting in multiple bids, even homes that came with their own medical spas (not at all in a good way) and plenty of traffic noise began to seem workable just to end the search. Marks calm presence helped to keep things grounded. He encourages his clients to focus on true priorities - location first, layout second and only then finishes - and not get discouraged in a sellers market. Though hes happy to show new construction in established areas, he also has strengths in assessing properties both in transitional neighborhoods and those with potential to appreciate if youre willing to renovate.Another benefit to Norhill Realty is that Mark and Vincent can often assist each others clients when the primary agent is unavailable. Vincent showed a property while Mark was on holiday, and was incredibly friendly and positive.

Review №74

Mark (and the whole team at Norhill for that matter) helped us our home in the face of some pretty bad odds. When we went to see our house, we were one of 11 couples that saw it the day it was listed and 5 of us put in offers. Marks expertise guided us into not only putting our offer in contention but helping us do so in a way that connected with the sellers emotionally. As a result, we not only landed the contract but were able to have an incredibly friendly transaction with the sellers as well. Our experience was truly wonderful and most of that is due to Marks understanding of the market and his knack for how to work with people on all sides of the transaction.In a market like the one Houston has been experiencing over the last few years, you cant afford to just have anyone representing you, you need a realtor that can truly make the difference in the transaction. For that reason, I literally send everyone I know to Mark and the team over at Norhill.

We used Mark Brawley at Norhill Realty for our recent purchase of a home in Rice-Military.

Rachael was an amazing guide and support through our first home-buying experience!Rachael took initiative, was on top of the process - working closely with the lenders, title company, and coordinating with the sellers realtor make sure everything went smoothly. We did a quick close (just 10 days) and although Im sure it was a fast-paced, urgent timeline for everyone involved, my boyfriend and I were able to coast through it easily with Rachaels guidance, support, expertise and contacts!I would absolutely recommend utilizing Rachael to help you determine where you want to live, what type of home, and execute the searching and buying process :)!

Review №77

Mark was a great asset to have as we went through our first homebuying experience. He was patient and knowledgeable as he walked us through all the steps we needed to take. We started by giving him a few specifics and he gave us an internet portal with hundreds of homes to consider that fit our specifications. We then could narrow them down and look at them at our own convenience, and go see only the ones we liked best. He was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, and never hesitated to take us to a property we liked. When it came time to put in an offer, he was great to have on our side as he knew so much about the surrounding neighborhood and comparable houses. He also helped us work through the entire closing process, and caused the closing agent to remark that she never works with realtors as thorough as him. If youre buying a home in Houston, you should have Mark as your realtor.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Dave Tyrell. We were not in a hurry to move and saw more houses with him than I can remember but he was very patient throughout the entire process. When we finally found “the one” he provided great insight as we navigated the buy/sell process.

I recently sold my home and used Vincent Biondillo, Norhill Realty to assist with this process and was extremely satisfied with the service.Reasons:1. Prefessionally handled. Regarding pictures taken to promote the sale of my home, use of e-signing technology so I was not bothered with paper documents and could have digitally signed anytime on my mobile devices.2. Kept me informed of all activity, offered guidance/advice that enabled me to make the best decisions. I did not feel like I was being bothered or pushed.3. Being proactive. When we were faced with an unforseen event in the process, Vincent took the inititative to be prepared if it happened again with another potential buyer. When Vincent was unable to meet with me, he did not tell me wait upon his return, he had his partner contact me to continue business and not add any delay.4. Knowledgeable about his business. I felt confident in him being my real estate agent and that he was not only about making a sale. He described everything I needed to know in selling my home that I was not blind-sided by any surprises.5. Punctuality. In terms of visits to the home or appointments, there was never any tardiness.I would highly recommend using Norhill Realty based upon the quality of service I received. In some cases they exceeded my expectations.Kudos to you, Vincent Biondillo for making this process painless and not stressful!

His no nonsense approach coupled with keeping us informed through the entire process made working with Mark a pleasure. We asked to see a house we learned had just gone on the market and though it was Sunday, he got us right in at 3:00. From the house we went to his office where we wrote up an offer by 5:00 and by Monday the offer was accepted. Im sure not all sales are this smooth but this was our first move in 30 years and it couldnt have gone any better. We hope never to move again, but if we do, well call Mark.

Vincent helped us sell our townhouse in a transition neighborhood in early 2012. We thought it would take twice as long to sell our 6 year old townhouse because of the location but Vince and his team got us a signed deal in 2 short months. We soon became homeless because we hadnt found the perfect house yet. Vincent was able to convince a landlord to have his current tenants move out a month before their lease was up AND agree to a 3 month short term lease and allow our 3 DOGS to come with us. The day before we moved into the rental, we found a FSBO home in our favorite neighborhood. He worked with the homeowner and helped us get our perfect house. He coordinated inspections and follow-up walkthroughs with contractors so that we could start a kitchen renovation the day after closing (timing was imperative since we only had 3 months). A call never went unanswered. He is our one and only realtor referral!

I found Mr. Brawley using Zillow and noticed he has expertise in the area. I also noticed his office location was very centrally located so it was not a hassle to make an appointment to see a house.

I have lived in my house almost a year now and he still checks up on me asking if I have any questions.Thanks Norhill

Vince is a REAL PRO ! I called Vince because I noticed he was active in the Museum/Park area where my property was located. It was a call that I am glad I made. He got to work with market information and emailed everything to me so I could consider listing. To make a short story even shorter....Vince listed it and Vince SOLD IT in less than 2 weeks!!! Next thing I know were closing at the title company. But it wasnt magic, it was his knowledge of the market and being aware of how to position a unique 5 unit property like the one I had. He was always accessible by phone and email with prompt replies. Follow-through was excellent after the sale. He didnt disappear and cleared up any post-sale comments or issues. I 100% recommend Vince and Norhill Realty.

Mark showed our unoccupied townhouse and later our neighbors emailed me to say the lights are on and the door wide open. Not a problem but when we contacted him he said there is no way I would have done that and my clients hated your property so we didnt even go in! Really? Not I dont think I did that but since I am in the area and I was the last one on the record at the property, I will be more than happy to swing by and make sure it is locked up and if you had photos but went to the property and then realized the photos were legit so you left? Just very rude to my wife when we called to inquire. I rarely leave comments but I just had to since he was so rude to my wife and MOTHER of five daughters on Mothers Day. Sad he has so much hate in his heart. I hope he finds peace.
