Today we’d like to introduce you to Robyn Jones.
Robyn, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I am the Broker | Owner and have been working in real estate for almost 20 years. I am a JD/MBA and a member of the California Bar Association.
I was an entertainment executive for over 20 years at Paramount Pictures, Capitol Records, BMG Records, Polygram Records, and the Beverly Hills office of the boutique music law firm Davis, Shapiro, LLP. This hands-on experience with celebrities and recording artists cemented my commitment that every client is and deserves to be the “star” of their own transaction.
I also realized that if I was able to make the kind of money I was making for the companies I was working for, I should go out on my own and make it for myself. Hasn’t always worked out quite that easily, but I still stand behind the concept and the decision!
As the daughter of an Air Force pilot, I have lived in over 30 homes and I have been named five times by Texas Monthly Magazine as a Five Star Realtor, which is only awarded to the top 2% of Houston area Realtors and have been designated by Houzz as a “Best of Houzz” professional.
Has it been a smooth road?
Never a smooth road. In the middle of opening up our Calabasas office and West Hollywood office, our house in Katy flooded during Hurricane Harvey. Like most, we didn’t have flood insurance. 2017 has been a hell of a year.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with NextHome Real Estate Place – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We are a small brokerage with under 30 agents but are a top producer in the area. Our office is located inside of the largest grocery store in the area, HEB which puts us in the center of the community and a great deal of foot traffic.
We can usually be seen in our open work space, all white and glass office with shoes kicked off, feet tucked underneath us, laptops in hand and nachos and sodas on our desks working as a team or catching up with clients that pop in to say hello. It’s not the norm in this area of cubicles and conference rooms, but we aren’t the norm either.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I see the city in an entirely different way after hurricane Harvey. This is the YouTube video I made for my son’s company in Los Angeles who sent money out with him to give to us. It probably summarizes everything. https://youtu.be/Kfegx5Cv9m4
Katy’s a city that sounds like a small town but is bigger than Pittsburgh, it has humans that drove around after the flood to bring food, pull drywall, clean muck and lift each other up. The chain restaurants are being replaced with family-owned or farm to table restaurants. We turn fields into subdivisions. We create jobs and more jobs, even when oil falls to $30 a barrel. People from all over the world like to invest in property here.
After this, what is to like least? Not much. But if I have to identify the weaker points of the area, our beaches are terrible, we have mosquitoes the size of horseflies, we have humidity that will challenge the Brazilian blowout and apparently we have Thai Massage parlors that are actually fronts for prostitution.
