Harris Community College and four years later received her degree in Real Estate. Still happy working in the medical field and now training others for her special niche, there came a crossroads and she said “I resign” – that was it – out the door.

In 1998 she joined Keller Williams and met a mentor who “taught me everything.” She had found another way to help people. In 2007 she opened an independent office in Spring and has recently taken on two agents. Edna says she “loves being in real estate” and gets satisfaction from “being able to help people and knowing I did something right.”

She certainly does something right: she is still in touch with everyone she has worked with; 99% of her business is repeat or referral; and at her four-acre office site she has parties for past and present clients. A large part of her business is international working with clients moving both to and from Houston and Mexico.

Edna is active in HAR Governmental Affairs; is on the International HAR Council; and is president of the local Houston chapter of FIABCI (International Federation of Real Estate Professionals.)

Edna and Sergio have been married almost 20 years and have three daughters. A year and a half ago Sergio opened Andy’s Restaurant at the corner of 1960 and TC Jester. Plug: stop by for a meal.

Although I don’t know how she makes the time, she loves to garden and to draw and paint. Just don’t ask her to go swimming.

Edna says she would still like to be a doctor and I have no doubt but that could be one more change in her productive helping career.
