We recently sold our home with Matthew Shelton from Greenwood King. We are so thankful for his assistance in listing our home and getting it sold in just days. Matthew is highly knowledgeable and helped us make a seamless transaction. He was quick to respond to any questions we had and made sure we were taken care of. We highly recommend using him for all your Houston real estate needs.

Unresponsive. After reaching out several times to get appt. to view rental property I heard back. I completed the rental application. Then I was asked to complete some information on a 3rd party website and pay application fee which I did. Now crickets. No approval no denial, no return phone call, no text, no email. No bueno!

Celebrating 30 years and it shows. Probably on their last leg. A product of their own creation. Definitely not reflective of Houston as they are more reflective of the Junior League

As an investor I have worked with hundreds of agents. I was recently introduced to Jennifer Porchey. Because of her strong communication skills and organization, I knew right away that I wanted to work with her. She has helped me with my previous two purchases and is about to list two homes for me. She is a true professional and I look forward to working with her on future deals!

Im notified that there are multiple offers on the property. In a market this hot you have to move fast but Im shocked that the listing agent and agency hindered by ability to view and make an offer on the property.

BUYER BEWARE. We had the most unprofessional experience in all our years of home buying and selling with this agency. We put in a full-price offer on a house that Greenwood King Properties (Heights) was listed as the agent for. For several days, we were strung along, made to believe that the sellers had accepted our offer and just needed the closing date pushed back a week; every time we asked for the paperwork back, there were just minor things being ironed out, and at the end, 'it was out for signatures'. Not even 2 hours after we were told the sellers were signing the paperwork, we were all
