JEAN RISHA REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® d. 713.558.1909 c. 713.826.8587 Jean.Risha@sothebyshomes.com As a resident of Houston since 1979, Jean Risha has lived in the Spring Branch/Memorial area for over 17 years. During this time she volunteered for her children’s schools and raised her family. With a great network of friends and family in the area, Jean decided to pursue her passion for real estate when it came to returning to the work force. Known for her positive attitude, attention to detail, integrity and responsive nature, her close friend, Katherine Stewart, told her she’d be great in residential real estate. Jean is committed to her clients and her priority is to serve. It’s a natural trait for her to give and something she does every day. Jean also has an active real estate blog through HAR which she uses to pass on important information for both homeowners and buyers, as well as other Realtors®. As Jean puts it,”I put my clients first and will always go the extra mile to find them the home they really want. I feel my clients become a part of my extended family. I listen to their needs and then set out to help them achieve their goal. I don’t see issues as problems; I see them as challenges and I love a challenge. I’m an attentive listener, persistent and above all a hard worker.” Jean went through the Macy’s executive training program. After starting with Macy’s in Houston, she then became a Senior Executive in New York before leaving to start a family. After her children started school, Jean became involved in not only both of her children’s schools but also the school district. She was president of her children’s elementary school’s PTA, a member of the Campus Improvement and District Improvement Teams for SBISD, awarded the PTA Life Membership Award and received the Elementary School Newsletter Editor of the Year Award for four years.

Client Testimonials Jean is the fourth agent that my wife and I have worked with over the years – every one of our previous agents were great but Jean is exceptional. We have two little kids and she always went above and beyond to help us sell our house in the midst of our hectic lifestyle. Jean will be selling and buying our houses from now on without question. She truly is a FULL service agent. – Move-up Seller/Buyer Our Realtor ®, Jean Risha, made our home search the best possible experience. I would highly (and have) recommended her to everyone I know. She was absolutely wonderful at listening to what we were looking for and went completely above and beyond helping us find the perfect place. She checked in regularly with us and remained patient as we sifted through multiple places that we didn’t like. She was supportive and reassuring through the whole process as we lost hope. We have completed our move into our new home and absolutely love it. We believe that Jean deserves a GOLD STAR for excellent service and support. – Move-up Buyer Jean was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her expansive knowledge of the Houston area and more specifically the Spring Valley corridor would be hard matched. Jean took the time and put forth the effort to fully explain the process we were getting into and provided countless amazing options that met our criteria perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone looking to find a great place to purchase in the Houston area. – New to Houston Buyer We love our new home and I am convinced we would not be living here if it were not for Jean. She listened to our needs, patiently showed me every listing I was even remotely interested in, supported us as we wrote a contract then changed our minds, and assured me we would eventually find “the one.” Then sure enough, one day she called and said “there’s a house I think you should look at – it has everything you want and more” – and she was right. I am thankful for her intuition and persistence every day. Jean provided us with impeccable service from our first showing to our closing and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor ® who will go that extra mile for them. – Move-up Buyer I truly enjoyed working with Jean. She dealt with a lot from people on our end and handled everything in a very professional manner. I would definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to friends and family. – First-Time Buyer
