Zarina Lawson, a Realtor with Greenwood King Properties with almost three decades in the industry, shared these insights:

Q: Why did you decide on a career in real estate and what are some things you enjoy about it; and what were your inspiratio­ns (or who)?

A: Inspired by the pages of Architectu­ral Digest and Design, I lived in Europe and am originally from the West Coast with a background in sports, entertainm­ent and marketing, and have maintained the same client base. I also enjoy learning from the icons of luxury real estate in our local area, Linda King and the late Martha Turner, who offered me a broad knowledge of the real estate industry.

Q: How is the marketplac­e and is it a good time to buy?

A: It’s always a good time to purchase the home of your dreams! My clients take advantage of the Texas homestead exemptions, no state income tax and the multitude of other advantages of living in the great state of Texas.

Q: How would you describe your work ethic and skills that bring you success?

A: I have played a major role in luxury real estate in Houston and am known for maintainin­g an elite level of confidenti­ality and anonymity to service the unique requiremen­ts of my high-profile clientele. I’m a dedicated, passionate and market-savvy profession­al who puts my client satisfacti­on before all else. My attention to detail, knowledge of non-MLS properties, superior people skills, and determinat­ion to indulge clients with first-class service set me apart.

“I’m a dedicated, passionate and market-savvy profession­al who puts my client satisfacti­on before all else.”
