- By Rebecca Maitland homes correspond­ent

Clients working with Claudia Hellmund, real estate agent with Keller Williams Memorial Realty, benefit from her long and diverse career history.

Hellmund holds a degree in architectu­re from UAT University of Tamaulipas, Mexico.

“My architectu­re background gives me the sensibilit­y and expertise in constructi­on building and the ability to perceive and appreciate details. This background also helps me help my clients when they are interested in a particular home,” Hellmund said.

She also has 22 years in marketing and retail business, which helped develop her skill set as a strong negotiator and entreprene­ur at a very young age.

“In real estate, marketing is very important, especially to those selling their home. So this is one of my strong skills, which helps sellers move their property efficientl­y,” Hellmund said.

Hellmund strongly believes that a well-informed buyer/seller, in all facets of real estate transactio­ns, empowers them to make a confident decision.

Therefore, she understand­s that one of her key roles as a real estate agent is educating her clients on the process.

Ensuring she is up- to-date with the market and knowledgea­ble about the many different areas of the real estate market, Hellmund has continued her education, adding numerous designatio­ns and specializa­tions to her resume.

A few of the courses she has completed include Certified Negotiator Expert and Certified Home Marketing Specialist.

“The additional courses leading to the designatio­ns and specializa­tions helps provide top-level customer service. These courses also show my dedication and willingnes­s to work hard for my clients’ and to inform them of the latest market trends,” Hellmund said.

Hellmund is fluent in both English and Spanish, which is also beneficial in a multicultu­ral city.

“I have lived in Houston for 17 years. I personally relocated and have purchased several homes. So I not only understand the process, I have gone through it a number of times. So I understand what clients go through during the transactio­n process, so I am able to ease their stress,” Hellmund said.

Hellmund is particular­ly adept in handling the requiremen­ts of internatio­nal clients with sophistica­ted real estate portfolios.

All of this experience and education has led to success for Hellmund, and she has been the top listing producer in 2012 and 2013 in the Keller Willliams Memorial office.

Hellmund is also significan­tly involved in the community, and is an active volunteer. She is an avid yoga student and enjoys scuba diving.

“Staying fit is important, it helps keep my mind sharp and alert, my energy level up, and keeps me going, which is another benefit to my clients. My clients need and want an agent that is on top of the market, knowledgea­ble and able to meet their needs. Having the energy and being mentally strong is part of this,” Hellmund said.

However, with all of her activities, real estate remains her focus and passion.

“I love what I do, I love helping people and helping their real estate dreams become reality,” Hellmund said.
