Pearland - The old and the new
About 10 years ago, Pearland was considered to be a rural town with the vast majority of the population centered around hwy 35 and Broadway. Until it happened. Silverlake expanded its coverage area to include Silver Creek and then the shopping centers started popping up close to hwy 288.
Then there is Shadow Creek Ranch, a master planned community (and I mean master planned). The developers noticed a large area of land very close to down town and the medical center and jumped on it. There are some very nice homes in Shadow Creek Ranch and it is simply amazing to drive through the neighborhood. Unfortunately, there is a big stink about the Blue Ridge landfill west of 521. Apparently, Shadow Creek Ranch homeowners can smell the landfill. To make matters worse, Blue Ridge wants to expand the landfill. Ask a home builder in Shadow Creek Ranch about the landfill and see the blank look on their face when the say "what landfill".
Pearland can be divided into two halves. OLD Pearland 77581 and NEW Pearland 77584. I have many clients tell me that they don't want to be near the new Pearland and some want to be closer to 288. Yes, new Pearland has a lot of traffic but Silverlake and Silvercreek are very nice subdivisions. There is an easy "back way" to 288 to avoid the congestion of 518.
Old Pearland consists of Green Tee (a very nice golf course community) Sleepy Hollow, Dixie Hollow, Oakbrook, Wood Creek, and many more. There are still brand new Pearland Homes being built in the "old Pearland".
So if you are considering buying a home and are attracted to the Pearland area, call an expert in the area to help guide you to the perfect Pearland neighborhood. If you would like to have an Exclusive Buyer's Agent and Pearland resident represent you with your home purchase, contact us at 832-372-6388 or visit our website www.MyPearlandMLS.com and download a detailed map of the Pearland Subdivisions.
Ever wanted to find homes for sale the moment they become on the market? How about entering in criteria for homes that are listed way below market value? How about homes that are very hard to find in a very desireable market area?
Here in Pearland Texas, homes with more than a 1/2 acre that were built before 1995 are very hard to come by. I have set up several e-HomeWatches for a few of my clients just to see when these homes become available.
I have a few e-HomeWatches set up for myself that send me listings that are well below market value. Here in Pearland, the average price per square foot is around $75. I entered in criteria where the price per square foot is below $50. Lately a few homes have been sent to me...... Some looked to be a pretty good deal.
Pearland Texas is the fastest growing community in Brazoria county. Located just south of Houston it provides a small town atmosphere, low crime rate, and the highly rated Pearland School District., while offering easy access to the big city and the Gulf of Mexico. Pearland has doubled in the last 10 years and the roads are being widened and expanded.
Pearland is a community with small town values and traditions. "Texas Business" recently mentioned Pearland as being a "city to watch". Pearland residents enjoy a high quality of life that is family orientated. Both the city and it's residents are strongly committed to job creation and business growth, offering incentive packages to relocating businesses and residents. Pearland's officials and residents alike work to maintain the city's small town values and safety. Pearland's police department has one of the most effective departments in Texas.
Hwy 288 and hwy 518 (Broadway) is a booming part of Pearland.. Since 2001 there has been an explosion of growth in this area, and why not. It is very close to Houston but is located in the city of Pearland and Brazoria county. Everything you need is in your neighborhood. Home Depot, Lowe's, Wal-mart, Target, Randall's, Kroger, Food Town, Kohl's, Best Buy, Circuit City, and many banks and shopping centers. Pearland Real Estate is a very wise investment, anywhere in Pearland. The city is booming so much you can bet on your investment dollars increasing.
On the other side of hwy 288 is Shadow Creek Ranch, a master planned community. Shadow Creek Ranch offers very easy access to downtown destinations. There is a brand new hospital, lakes, walking trails, new schools, and very nice homes ranging fro the 130's to over 1M. In addition, new shopping centers are planned in shadow Creek Ranch.
A little further south on hwy 288 is the brand new Rodeo Palms master planned community. Rodeo Palms is offering homes comparable to Shadow Creek Ranch. Rodeo Palms also ahs many lakes, walking trails, and water fountains.
For the future home buyer, Manvel / Iowa Colony (hwy 288 south of hwy 6) will be the next housing boom. There are plans to build many new homes and shopping centers in this area. The Grand Parkway (99) will be connecting US-59 (Sugarland) to hwy 288 right through Iowa Colony. Then it will continue east directly through Alvin. (for the buy and hold invertors)

Lakes of Highland Glenn is a new community off of the new Pearland Parkway and beltway 8 south. There are many new lake communities being developed right now in this area. Pearland Parkway connects Beltway 8 and 518 (Broadway). Then goes on to Pearland high school. There are plans to extend McHard road from Pearland Parkway to hwy 288. Shadow Creek Ranch is a master planned community located off of Hwy 288 and Shadow Creek Ranch Rd, one exit south of Beltway 8.The proximity of Shadow Creek Ranch to all of Houston's business, sports and entertainment venues places Shadow Creek Ranch firmly in the heart of everywhere you want to be.
But what's more, the scenic vistas of glistening lakes, the town square, parks, pools, and miles of hike and bike trails will place Shadow Creek Ranch firmly in the hearts of those who choose to call it home. An array of Houston's premier builders will be offering award-winning home designs from the $130s to over $1M.
Shadow Creek Ranch is located in the Exemplary Alvin Independent School District which is an accredited 5-A school district.
Silver Lake is currently in Pearland's extra jurisdiction and is not actually part of the city of Pearland. It will not be a part of Pearland's jurisdiction until the MUDs develop out. Silver Lake is surrounded by prestigious golf course and many lakes and walking trails. Many of the homes in Silver Lake are water front. Easy access to Hwy 288 is provided by Hwy 518 (Broadway) and several smaller "short cut" roads with more being planned. Silver Lake was the first community to spring up on the west side of Pearland. Way before there was anything in the area. Now, many new communities are being developed along with many major shopping centers, Banks, and a movie theatre.

Exclusive Buyer's Agent
James Potenza, 
James is a part of a very unique and specialized group of REALTORS ®.
When you buy a home from the listing agent, you have NO representation. They represent the SELLER. It is their job to get the SELLER the highest price and the most favorable terms. They present you with a dual agency agreement and they owe their fiduciary duties to the SELLER.
They are REQUIRED to tell the seller anything that would benefit them in the negotiation process, including the highest price you are willing to pay.
Other agents claim to be a "buyer's Agent" but they work for an office that SELLS homes. Which homes do you think they want to sell to you first?
Unlike most Real Estate Agents, James does not list properties for sale. Homebuyer's-Team LLC Real Estate brokerage does not list any homes for sale. That allows James and his team much more time and devotion to his home buying clients. James is a member of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer's Agents, which enables him the resources to assist home buying clients more effectively.
Over the years, James has spent a lot of time with home inspectors. He has learned how to "pre-inspect" homes by pointing out potential problems to his clients. He feels there is no reason to spend time on a house that has too many costly defects. Some of his clients are pleasantly surprised and sometimes shocked to have a Realtor immediately point out problems to be concerned with.
James is the Relocation Director for Homebuyer's-Team. He understands the time sensitive needs required by corporations, third party relocation companies, and especially the relocating client. James also understands the need to help relocating clients "buy right" so that the new home will remain marketable and to have several backup plans in place so that there is no interruption in the relocation process. "Communication is the key to a successful relocation. I keep the entire "team" up to speed on the progress of locating and purchasing a home and carefully listen to the needs of my clients and their corporation."
James holds an Electronic Engineering Technology degree and has used his analytical and methodical skills to enhance the home buying process for his clients. "Without question, my clients know exactly what they are buying." James also brings his 20 years in customer service and management skills to the negotiation table for his clients. James started his Real Estate Career in 1997, as an investor, which taught him the creative financing, buying, and selling aspects of Real Estate. Now, James integrates these skills into a complete and highly specialized Real Estate Agent for his home buying clients.
James has lived in the Houston area all of his life and has lived in the Pearland/Friendswood area since 1990. James is a proud father of a beautiful girl that attends Middle School in Pearland ISD. His wife, whom he has been married to for 14 years, is also in the Real Estate industry and is his supportive coach and a wonderful mother.

My wife & I recently purchased a home in the Clear Lake area with James Potenza as our homebuyer's agent. We couldn't have asked for a better agent: James was courteous, professional, and patient throughout the entire process (and especially patient when we had our 4-year-old along to look at houses with "Mr. James"!). Since we were moving from out-of-state, we greatly appreciated how he made himself completely available to us during the limited time we had for house-hunting. It was evident that he was sincerely interested in finding a home that met our needs, and not just trying to have us buy a house. He was particularly patient and courteous when we needed to step back and reassess what exactly we were looking for in our next home. Once we had made a decision, he was prompt in submitting the offer and professional in guiding us through the closing process. James Potenza was hands-down the best agent we have ever worked with, and I highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy a home in Houston.

We recently closed on a home in Pearland utilizing the assistance of James Potenza as our Buyer's Agent. We couldn't have been happier with anyone else. James proved to be instrumental in guiding us through the entire process from showcasing to closing. James is extremely knowledgeable in market research, is very courteous, and diligent. He genuinely took an interest in us and quickly determined what we were looking for. When we needed breaks he stepped back but more importantly when things got rolling fast, James shown through for us by staying focused on our needs. He helped us find another lender a week before closing after ours had been dragging their feet. James is a professional and we highly recommend him to anyone shopping for a home.

Dear James,
We just wanted to write and thank you for the excellent service you provided during our recent relocation.
We were faced with the overwhelming task of moving to a State we were unfamiliar with; to a city we had never even visited. Because of your expertise and knowledge of the home buying industry and your wonderful user friendly web site this process was relatively stress free. We checked your website often and found it current and extensive making it easy to compare prices and availability in all the districts surrounding our target area. Once we had established a profile of the type of property we were looking for your daily emails of homes fitting our criteria made it fun and easy to weed out the chaff.
The best part was when we actually traveled the 1200 miles for the purpose of making a purchase you realized that time was of the essence and made your self available to us for the entire holiday weekend. Nothing was too much trouble and our every request was met. You had appointments scheduled in advance so as not to waste any of our precious time and had alternative plans when things went awry.
Lastly we would like to thank you for helping us negotiate an excellent deal with the builder of our choice. You facilitated us a contract far in excess of our expectations while keeping everything calm and businesslike. We felt you were truly out to look after our best interests and it was a pleasure to have you as our representative.
In the unlikely event that we will be making another move in this area we would not hesitate to call on your services again and you can be sure that we will be recommending you to anyone we come across needing a homebuyer's agent.
Thank you so much for making our relocation as painless and fun as it could possibly be. We count you as our first new friend that we made in Texas.
Yours truly,
Janet and David Hambleton - League City, TX
James Potenza was on time and on target in helping us find a great house in the limited timeline that we presented him with. He was with us every step of the way, from negotiation to closing, and always ensured that our best interest was a top priority. We ended up with a great house in a great neighborhood and couldn't be happier! A buyers agent is truly the way to go, thanks again James!

James,
Thank you very much for helping Sonya and I find our first home. You are professional, knowledgeable, and we appreciated your honesty. Your attentiveness prompted me to cancel appointments with other realtors I had contacted. You kept us updated and answered all of our questions through out the whole process which kept us at ease. Your research of the area helped us locate the perfect house for us. I will recommend you to anyone in search of a home in your area.
