About Our Company
Our History
In 1981, with interest rates topping eighteen percent, third grade teacher-turned Realtor Martha Fuller Turner opened her own real estate office. Houston was reeling from the soaring rates, houses were not selling and foreclosures were mounting exponentially. When stunned friends and colleagues pointed out to Martha that Realtors were exiting, not entering, the real estate market, she smiled broadly and said, "That's OK. I'll be the only one selling houses!" and she was serious.
Martha Fuller Turner is first and foremost an optimist and a visionary, traits she developed as a child growing up in Hemphill, Texas. As far as Martha is concerned, if you can see it in your mind, you can achieve it; her enthusiasm knows no bounds. She is the embodiment of a Dale Carnegie quotation: "Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success."
Almost three decades later, that hole-in-the-wall brokerage is a nationally recognized award-winning multi-faceted company with five stand-alone offices in the Houston metropolitan area and Galveston and a nationally recognized award winning relocation division. Growth is important; it widens our horizons and in our increasingly diverse population, broadens our client base. As we have transitioned into a smoothly operating larger company, growth has not altered our focus and excellence in real estate is still the credo of everyone who works in the company.
