RE/MAX Mercer Team focuses on service

- By Rebecca Maitland

The RE/MAXMercer Team is one of the top 50 teams out of REMAX’s 133,000-plus agents worldwide. Terence Barnes, Josh Hill, Ben Kashou, Richard Royds, and Larry Mercer make up this successful team.

“Houston’s real estate industry is still strong. Properties are selling, and prices are stable. Inventory is going up, which provides buyers choices,” said Larry Mercer, broker, The Mercer Team at RE/MAXMetro.

The Mercer Team is a close-knit team, and keeps abreast of each other’s clients and listings.

“Since we are all familiar with each other’s business, if one person is not available, another team member steps in,” Mercer said.

Mercer and his team also work all over Houston and surroundin­g communitie­s.

“We know Houston and we know the outlying areas, because we have made it a priority to know them. We have visited the schools and studied the neighborho­ods. Plus, we have worked in these communitie­s through- out the years, which adds to our knowledge. In the industry, we are known as the “area specialist­s,” he said.

Mercer and his team are also known for being polite, respectful, hardworkin­g, flexible and available, with excellent communicat­ion and negotiatio­n skills, which their clients appreciate.

Mercer has been active in real estate for 38 years, and his experience, along with the experience of his seasoned team of Realtors, offers clients many benefits.

Each member of The Mercer Team has a different background and skills, which adds depth to the team. Mercer’s background is in the technical and accounting areas, which means accuracy and being highly detailed are in his DNA.

“I also love people of all ages, and have never met a stranger,” he said.

Mercer started selling real estate in 1978, and then purchased the company he was working for in the mid1980s. He had four offices and grew the agency to 167 agents.

He sold this company in 1998, after being so involved with administra­tion, he missed working with clients.

He joined RE/MAXin 2000, and loves it.
