Monica Penister

Originally from Arkansas, I have always had a heart for helping people. Before real estate, I received a degree in Criminal Justice. Soon after, I worked for the Pine Police Department for 5 years. I also worked for Sixth Division Juvenile Court where I was assigned the position of Gang Prevention Coordinator. This position consisted of planning activities and programs for the prevention of youth and gang violence. This is accomplished by reaching out to identified gang members and linking them to services, institutions, and providing access to resources in an effort to reduce attachment of youth to gangs and gang activities. Transporting youth to and from various appointments and functions. Plans and attends social and recreational activities. Serves as advocate for the youth in securing social services, education, and job-related opportunities. Performs needs assessment for youth and family members and provides information about services. Makes appropriate referrals and maintains detailed documentation of all contact with youth. I feel everyone has the chance to change, they just need someone who encourages and believes in them. Everyone deserves a second chance, even the people who do not believe they deserve it.

I've always had a passion for real estate and interior decorating. While still in law enforcement, I decided to pursue my dreams of becoming a licensed Realtor. In 2020, I decided to move my real estate business to Houston, Tx. Since, I have become very successful with helping clients whether it's buying, selling, leasing, or investing. I am a certified Keller Offers concierge agent, kw military agent, military relocation agent and certified cash offers agent. My dream as a realtor is to help people find and love their dream home and make the process simple as possible.

"Handing clients their keys on closing day is more than just a paycheck. It means that you successfully coached, mentored and supported another family through the journey of buying their new home. I personally enjoy educating my buyers and love the look on their face when they have found their dream home. The whole process can be overwhelming and stressful, but the smile on my clients' faces when they have keys in hand makes everything worth it. My true passion is being a home matchmaker and I wouldn't change a thing."
