Thinking of relocating or buying a house in Houston, Texas? Let’s check out one of its highly sought after locations: the City of Katy.

Located 30 miles west of Houston with its main ZIP code 77450, the City of Katy is the hub of three counties Harris, Waller and Fort Bend. The city was founded on rice farming in the late 1800’s and was formally incorporated in 1945.

Offering the best of both worlds, the charm of a small town, and all the conveniences of a large city, Katy provides a high quality of life for its residents. It offers beautiful neighborhoods, master planned communities, abundant green parks and recreation. Additionally, Katy’s Independent School District ranks among the top school districts in the country. The city has steadily risen over the past ten years to become one of the most desirable areas to live in Texas.

The following are some of the reasons why Katy is a great place to live.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to this team, especially to Maritza Deras, she was my agent, helped me with the rental process of my property, and her professionalism was excellent. Maritza kept me informed in a timely manner of the candidates for my property and she was very fast at responding my texts/calls. I am very impressed with her attention to detail and I knew I was in good hands since our first encounter by the way she make suggestions, gave me in detail reports and was very knowledgeable in this business. I look forward to conduct business with her very soon and I will recommend her with friends and family.

My agent was Maritza Deras and she was a great agent. She did a fantastic job at finding listings and helped me explore my options in the Houston area. She communicated well and was always free for a call about any questions I had. It was abundantly clear that she knows the Houston area extremely well through her many years of expertise and experience working in this field. As a first time homeowner, I could not have asked for a better agent!

My wife and I worked with Ashley, who did a phenomal job not only finding homes for us to view, but also helped identify the right areas to look. As 1st time buyers, we needed some hand-holding, but she was extremely patient and knowledgeable throughout. We had great luck finding our home very soon after starting to work with her. Highly recommended team
