Venetian Estates Market Update
Four VE properties, priced from $1.25 to $2.295 million, are actively listed for sale on HAR. Despite a generally slow market, I have closed multiple VE sales this year, and I represent two buyers of homes that are now pending sale. My listing at 802 San Marino is spectacular, with nearly 300’ of frontage on the center of Lake Venice. I will soon be active on the MLS with a lovely remodeled home. Please call me if you are considering selling or if you have friends or family considering a move to VE. I customize my platform to meet clients’ particular preferences and timelines.
Time Flies
I intended to send this newsletter months ago but have been perpetually delayed with an intense work schedule, including exciting projects at Sugar Land Regional Airport (KSGR). I have now brokered the sales of three corporate offices + hangars on the premises. After months of negotiations and a lengthy approval process with the City of Sugar Land, we closed on the sale of my listing at 26 Jim Davidson Drive this month. The new owner, ATP Flight School, is a renowned training school for commercial pilots. I marketed the property nationally, and it will now serve as ATP’s Houston base to train pilots for the world’s leading airlines.
Sugar Land keeps me on my toes with its proactive approach to business and technology. With Wisk Aero, KSGR is preparing to serve as one of the first vertiports for electric, self-flying air taxis. The recent announcement of parterning with Swyft Cities air gondolas has had me musing over my favorite childhood cartoon, The Jetsons. While air taxis and gondolas could reform transit over the next decade, surely Tesla will precede them with mass-market personal robots. At this stage in life, having my own “Rosie” robot to clean my house and make dinner sounds truly life-changing…
Fort Bend Christian: Eagle Spotifying
Speaking of flying, recent FBCA graduate, Alex Amen, is soaring to the top of Spotify. Alex’s parents, Diane and David Amundson, own World Metal, which offices in my building at 8410 Highway 90A. David says the arts program at FBCA “changed everything” for Alex and put the singer-songwriter on a path that led him to his recent publishing deal with American Records. Alex, with his John Denver- and Jimmy Buffet-inspired style and prescient lyrics, has been dubbed a “young man with an old soul.” Check out his debut single, “California Blues” (which he penned as a teenager growing up in Sugar Land!) on your favorite music platform!
New Neighbors
This spring, Lynn and Chuck Fell moved into their gorgeous home at 122 Tuscany. The extraordinary home captured the attention of the Houston Chronicle, which headlined its monthly Houston luxury-market report with my drone image of the “lakefront Italian villa.” Chuck and Lynn have been Sugar Land residents for over 30 years! They have 2 daughters, Catie (25) is a SHSU graduate and teaches 1st grade in Cy-Fair ISD, and Megan (22) recently graduated from OU with a degree in Communications and works in Dallas for an Audi dealership. Chuck is President of CFI Mechanical, Inc., a large commercial mechanical contractor performing HVAC, plumbing and HVAC service for projects such as Constellation Field, the Marriott Marquis Houston, MD Anderson and Harris Health. Lynn enjoyed a 12-year career with Hyatt Hotels as a convention service manager before becoming a stay-at-home mom. Chuck enjoys golfing, hunting, fishing and working on their property in Weimar. Lynn enjoys bike riding and walking their dog, Brisket.

Around Town
I represented the buyers of a sprawling 1.5-story, 2+-acre estate in Alkire Lake that will be stunning after extensive renovations. From Tanglewood to Sweetwater to my new beautiful 3-acre estate listing in Shiloh Lakes, I serve clients all over the Houston area. I am grateful for your business and referrals!
