Real Estate and More…
Venetian Estates Market Update
Four properties, ranging in price from $1.2 to $3.595 million, are actively listed for sale on HAR in Venetian Estates. FBRE sold 402 Lombardy this month. (I’m excited to introduce you to our future neighbor, so read on!) My listings at 814 Piedmont and 122 Tuscany are gorgeous. If you have friends looking to move to VE, one of these homes will be a sure fit! Call me any time to discuss.
New Neighbors
FBRE acted as intermediary in the sale of 310 Lombardy to Tracey and Bucky Richardson. They plan to renovate their home, and phase one begins this summer with a new driveway, expanded garage, and curb appeal. Bucky is from Baton Rouge. He graduated from Texas A&M in 1991 and is now a partner in Environmental Improvements EI2 in Houston, a municipal water and wastewater business. He is an avid golfer and is thrilled to be so close to River Bend CC! Tracey is from Killeen, TX, worked as a court reporter for 25 years, and subsequently for 10 years ran the youth football league that Bucky helped found, Fort Bend GridIron Football. They have three children, Jordan (28), John Paul (21), and Jenna (19). The Richardsons lived in Sienna for the past 18 years, and the kids all graduated from Ridge Point High School. Jordan is a Realtor in Austin, and she was just married in May. John Paul is a football player at TCU. Jenna is a sophomore at Texas A&M pursuing a degree in communications. Now that Bucky and Tracey are empty-nesters they are excited about this new chapter in VE! Between long-time friends that already live here and the amazing new people they have met, Venetian already feels like home, and they feel blessed to be a part of this unique neighborhood in the heart of Sugar Land!
Fun Facts: Bucky was quarterback for Texas A&M and John Paul proudly wears his dad’s college numher, 7. John Paul is a receiver who captured much attention last season and alrady has a fan club on the horned-frog side of the Ferguson family. Look out for John Paul this fall and perhaps a couple of split A&M/TCU flags flying in VE!
The TCU Horned Frogs may be gaining ground, but our next new neighbor will be flying pure maroon. I represented Mike Mopper in the purchase of 402 Lombardy, and he is planning a beautiful home on this gorgeous half-acre property. Mike joins his sister and brother-in-law, Melanie and Adam Cox of 706 Salerno. He is class of ‘99 at A&M, where he earned his degree in Chemical Engineering. Mike’s career has been focused on LNG. He worked overseas with Chevron for over 10 years in London and Perth, Australia. For the last 7 years he has worked for Cameron LNG in Lake Charles. He recently joined Freeport LNG in Houston as Sr. VP of Operations. He has three nephews and one niece who are thrilled to have him in Sugar Land. Cora and Duncan Cox are particularly excited to live a short ferry-ride across the lake from their backyard to Uncle Mike’s! Mike grew up in Missouri City with Melanie and their sister Melinda, who now lives in Greatwood. Their parents still live in Quail Valley.
Fun Fact: Mike, Melanie and Melinda are triplets! I have never before met triplets, and it’s no wonder…medical research explains the rule of thumb, dubbed “Hellin’s Law,” which claims that the pattern in multiple births runs thus: if twins occur at a rate of approximately 1 in 85, triplets will occur at a rate of 1 in 852, quadruplets 1 in 853, and so on. As I type this, I am considering that twin Vaughn boys live across the street from Melanie…I may ask my high-school-statistics-teacher sister Kristin Johnston on Genova to run the stats on the likelihood of multiple multiples on the same street…
Mystery Mail
After sending my April newsletter, a few neighbors informed me that they received empty envelopes. If you were a recipient of this small batch of ghost mail, please text or email me for a PDF copy—don’t miss it!
Around Town
I just sold my gorgeous golf-course listing in Sweetwater. My clients were referred to me by a VE neighbor and client. I am so grateful for your referrals and work hard for your business and trust. I am currently representing the buyers of a classic beauty on an oak-lined street in Greatwood. I am busy all through Houston and Sugar Land, so please call or refer to me with any real-estate questions or requirements.
