If you like someone who will work every angle to your benefit, Sally might be a good fit for you! Not only did I use Sally when I moved from Utah to Texas 4.5 years ago. I used her again to sell my current home and buy the next one. So this review is X3 the value IMO! Look, I don't know why Sally said yes to us this 2nd time around because the first time we used her probably gave her some gray hairs. When we first moved to TX, my financing was delayed and we were about to lose the contract while I was in the middle of Albuquerque moving my family. Sally stepped up her game and kept the house under contract while we waited for the financing to finalize. She even got us into the house as renters in the meantime so we weren't homeless. This was an extremely difficult challenge for us and Sally really came through even though it was no where near easy. Now my 2nd experience came to a close just a few weeks ago. The buyers of my home got cold feet and pretty much backed out on the day of closing. As you could imagine, we were packed up and ready to close on our new home. Devastated, we contemplated not moving at all because of hardship this was placing on our family. Sally and her Broker Courtney jumped right it, rolled their sleeves up and got into the mud with the buyers and their agent. In the end, we closed 2 days late, but they got they deal to go through! I cannot tell you how many late night emails she answered for me, how many times we discussed strategy and how many times she came through on so many points of what we needed in our contract to buy and sell our home. Would I use her again? Absolutely. Would I recommend her to anyone? Based on her saving my bacon twice, YES! read more

We used Sally for the sale of our Houston home. What I loved the most was her willingness to go the extra mile. She helped us understand how to stage our home, her comps were thorough and her response time to my questions was quick. Our house sold in a matter of days. I love that Sally really understood the market in our area. She was a wealth of knowledge. You won't find someone else with her amount of energy and passion! read more

Sally is amazing. She was the seller for my house in Oak Forest, Houston. With many (maybe a dozen?) other houses on the market in just our little section of the neighborhood, and with our house needing updates, I wasn't sure how long we would be stuck paying two mortgages. Turns out with proper pricing, professional staging, beautiful photos and kick-ass marketing, she sold our house in two weeks! We even got more for it than we had hoped! And we closed early! Sally will literally ruin other realtors for you. Her responsiveness, and the way she works to meet your personal needs is refreshing. She puts an amazing team around her and she works so hard any time you need her. She has my whole-hearted recommendation. read more

If you are looking for someone who is reliable and involved in the sell of you home, go somewhere else. My Husband researched and interviewed several agents in Houston and went with Sally based on her sales in the area. After sitting down with her to discuss a listing price (what she thought we could get), we signed the contract and put the house on the market. We knew it was a little higher than what we would actually get, but we left room for negotiation and Sally agreed. Once the house went on the market, Sally went MIA. It was two weeks before we heard from her again, and that is because we contacted her about the marketing strategy: Open Houses, Advertising, etc. It wasn't until we begged to have an open house that she scheduled one. From there everything was an excuse. We had a ton of interest in the house, non of which we received feedback. Funny thing, Sally showed the house and we still received no feedback. She can't control other agents, but you would think that she would at least provide feedback to her sellers when she is the one to show the home. Over and over, we reached out to Sally for information. She would not answer phone calls which left us emailing/texting her to ask if she could call us back. I reached out to her "assistant," who unfortunately could not speak to me about my house because was not certified. At one point we were told, "this is not how she does business" "90% of the business she conducts is via email." If your client wants to talk to you over the phone, PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THEM. We were left feeling as if we were annoying her and more so an inconvenience. When it came to negotiating the sale of our home, Sally had no input or advice, nor did she provide information of what to expect when closing. We ended up with an additional $6000 due at closing in addition to the agent fees. When we asked Sally about the extra fees, she blew it off and said that she didn't think to mention because they were "typical fees." Overall, the entire experience was a complete disappointment. There was no communication from our agent at any point during the process. read more

My husband and I were buying our 1st home. We were super picky but at the same time didn't really know what we wanted or what area of Houston we wanted to live in. I mean... buying a house is kinda a big deal.. Sally and her team came to our rescue! She was extremely patient and showed us exactly what we wanted before we realized that's what we wanted! She really knows how to read her customers and works with their interests in mind. Professional yet personable. Sally's down to earth personality makes you feel at ease during what could be a stressful time. Look no further!! read more

Absolutely, without a doubt, hands down the best realtor in Houston. My house was on the market for a whopping 2.5 days, with 21 showings, before we went to Option Pending, all thanks to Sally's sage advice and cutting edge approach to real estate. The offer actually came in *well above* asking price. I'd attempted to sell my house a year ago with another realtor that paled in comparison to Sally's level of expertise. It languished on the market for 6 months, with one lackluckster offer that didn't even go through. From day one, Sally was engaged, active, and assertive in making sure my house was ready for the market. She brought in a team of experts to make recommendations for touch ups and staging, and then went on to find the best contractors to do the work. After everything was complete, the work cost significantly less than I expected. Sally is a big fan of using professional photography to showcase a property. She hired her favorite photographer, free of charge, to take photos that let the world know just how awesome my house is. We ended up with 20 gorgeous, professional shots. The previous realtor took a handful of photos on her personal digital camera. I cannot recommend Sally and Habitation Realty enough. If you are looking to sell your house for top dollar and want a professional, talented, fun, and extremely cool realtor to get the job done, look no further. She will go the extra mile to make sure your house sells. Feel free to ask her for my contact information so I can personally recommend her to you. read more

When it came time to sell my house there was no one else I could think of to get the job done but Sally! She is not only a long time friend, but also the agent who got me into the house originally. As an agent she will work herself to the bone to get your home out there and seen with pics that accentuate every subtle detail. Her team excels in preparing your home for showings and she always has someone only a call away to get things done if needed! Don't hesitate to use Sally as your agent and be assured you'll get everything you want out of your home selling experience! read more

Francey White provided outstanding assistance in our search for our first-ever home. We were making a cross country move and had a tight window to find a place. She set aside two entire days to show me around and then send me links and made videos of open houses. She was understanding when my 6-year-old son's behavior made the visits less than proper. She was patient, thoughtful and encouraging. She never ever pushed me to make a decision or tried to sway me. She never expressed disappointment in a house I turned down. However, she was always willing to give me an honest opinion, which was both knowledgeable and often something that I wouldn't have arrived at until I'd thought about it for days. She had lots of ideas of how homes could be adapted and what aspects of the houses were unfixable or costly to fix. She was always scanning for things I wouldn't have known to look for, like cracks in the foundation. She was always accessible and quickly became our ally, friend, guide to all things Houston. She was stellar throughout the bidding process and the closing. She also knew when to keep me and my family in check, when we wanted to express strong emotions--like "that's our last and final offer," without ever being confrontational. She advocated on our behalf, letting homeowners know that I appreciated the fine details of their home, and that we would be great caretakers of their improvements. I cannot say enough about how excellent Francey is at her job. A tremendous person and realtor all rolled into one. read more

We can't say enough fantastic things about Sally Walden! Our family recently relocated from California to Houston. She helped make the home buying process a breeze. Sally was able to schedule home tours and virtually walk us through them. She's a great negotiator and got us a deal on our new home. Not only was she responsive and attentive to our needs, she was genuine and honest. It was an absolute pleasure to work a realtor who knows the area. read more

Sally was awesome to work with, even from a different state! She sold my Houston condominium in 8 days and we closed within the month! She is extremely friendly and very prompt. Overall, a much easier and more pleasant experience than i had ever anticipated. Thanks, Sally! read more

Sally was the seller for my property in the Woodland Heights. She knows the market, has an extraordinary reach with clientele, and provided all the support and knowledge I asked for in making the decision to sell. Whatever questions I had, she answered within the hour, even before I had committed to going on the market. My concern over having an unusual piece of property to sell was taken as a challenge, and a week or so before we were going to actually list is, Sally made a perfect match between buyer and seller, we had a cash deal within a week, and closing in another 3. Her ability to connect and put people at ease made the transaction not just painless, but genuinely pleasurable. I only wish I could use her in my next move to Oregon... read more

Sally is absolutely amazing!! She does the absolute best that she can always and for any situation. She will go above and beyond to get the job done.

Sally helped us buy our house and we couldn't be happier! She took the time to show us all the houses we wanted to see and made the entire process extremely easy. Not only is she a great realtor she has also become my friend! That's how great she is :) read more

Sally helped me buy my first home last year in the heights. She is VERY knowledgeable about the area and I found a house on the 1st day that we went to look. It was the perfect size and price range that I was looking for! I was clueless on home buying so she helped me through step-by-step of everything we needed to do. At times I thought that I was doing something wrong because everything seemed to go so smoothly. There were a few issues that came back on the inspection report and Sally helped me negotiate more money at closing for those items. She was always following up and making sure I felt comfortable through the whole process. After closing, Sally kept helping me out with any problems I had. She is a great realtor for the Heights area and I would recommend her for anyone looking to buy! read more

I m a Broker and Builder in Newport Beach Calif.. Looking for an agent or team to refer to my clients who are flying into Houston. I had such bad experience locating Agents because they dont pickup their phones. This was the third office I called because everyone else did not return my calls until a day later. Surprising ... Im very satisfy with Sally and her team member Francey, she is very quick and knows the market very well. I been a broker almost 20 years and I enjoy working with this Real Estate office because they are serious to help you regardless of your situation. I highly recommend any sellers or any buyers to dare give them a call because you will get full attention and satisfaction is Gaurentee.. read more

Sally Walden is as good as it gets. She's knowledgeable, attentive, responsive, puts her clients first and the hardest working woman I know. I wouldn't go with any other agent in the area, hands down. read more

We recently had to relocate from Orlando to Houston and Sally helped us get our condo even before we set foot here! She set up an online search for us and was right on with our criteria (other realtors kept sending us stuff that was not even close!). While still in Orlando, we saw a listing that seemed perfect for us. She was there the next day and did the showing using Facetime. She helped us every step of the way and was not only professional and thorough but also lots of fun to work with. Once we got to Houston, we were able to close on our condo in a couple weeks and couldn't be happier. Thanks, Sally!!!! read more

Super Sally, this one! She's full of endless real estate knowledge and was ever eager to help this high maintenance gal. Be it voice, text, email, she was always available when we needed her. Never pushy yet she was positively aggressive in our favor. Much appreciated in this jungle of an inner loop market. Real estate savvy, super Sally will be our Realtor for life! read more

Sally was an amazing realtor. Her dedication and professionalism were second to none. She was able to quickly determine my needs from a phone conversation and the proceeded to take me to view the appropriate properties. I highly recommend Sally! read more

Sally was such a fantastic realtor! My husband and I have grown up in Houston, yet never really experienced "inside the loop" living. We met her several months before we were actually ready to buy a home, and she still took us around to look at homes so that we could get a feel for the area. Sally was able to give us advice on which areas would best suit our needs. Finally, we were ready to start looking. She was always available to go out and look, as well as to send us listings as they came on the market. We probably looked at about 30 homes until we found the one we put our offer on. As first time homebuyers, we had no clue what the protocol was. We did the paperwork and she soon sent us the name of a great inspector. Unfortunately, the house was not in a condition we were wanting to accept, and she was there to continue the search. We could also tell that she had our best interest at heart and really looking for us to find a great first home. A few days later we found another great home and put in an offer. Luckily, this house had no issues and we are now living in it. Sally has continued to keep in touch and make sure all is going well in our new home. It is great to know that she believes in our house and thinks it will be a perfect first home for us. I will continue to refer Sally and Habitation Realty to anyone looking for a home, especially inside the loop. You can tell that she really loves the area down here and seems to be an expert on the Heights. For anyone looking for a friendly, knowledgeable realtor, look no further! read more
