THE ELMI GROUP

At The Elmi Group, teamwork makes the dreamwork. As a result-driven real estate team with a passion for customer-centric philosophies and communication, Chris and Jennifer Elmi manage a dynamic group that includes full-service agents Rachel Harris, Samantha Mackey, Crystal-Mae Rudolph, Natalie Buckley, Addie Patel, and Amie Pravel. “We’re very discerning about who we bring on. One of the things that’s neat about our team is that we have seasoned agents and agents that have started with us and they’ve all done really well. You’re getting a top-performing agent no matter who you work with,” says Chris.

One key differentiator that distinguishes the group from its competitors is its process for handling transactions. Unlike other agencies where everyone has a specific focus, such as buyer’s agent or sales agent, at The Elmi Group clients work with the same agent end to end. According to Chris, there are several advantages to this method. First, it provides the client with a more personalized and consistent experience. Working with one agent also ensures streamlined communication that can lead to a more efficient and effective home buying process. In addition, clients never have to relay information or requirements to multiple individuals, which help reduce the chance of miscommunication or misunderstandings.

The model clearly works. Last year, serving the Houston area with a focus on The Woodlands and Spring, the team closed $48 million in sales. Earning the group the prestigious Founder’s Club Achievement award, which places it in the top 1% of Better Homes and Gardens offices nationwide. Chris is justifiably proud of the recognition his team has earned. But at the end of the day, his greatest satisfaction still lies in watching his clients achieve their real estate goals. “I’m not a doctor or a nurse, but I really enjoy helping people buy and sell homes.”

The Elmi Group uses a wide variety of marketing tools to market its listings, including video, social media, and face-to-face events. Jennifer, who holds a marketing degree and an MBA, plans and runs their social media platforms. The team frequently holds events for clients and prospects such as movie nights, Kentucky Derby parties, and White parties. And unlike some agencies where agents are combative with each other, everyone at The Elmi Group takes pride in the team’s ability to work and play together.

“We place a very high value on communication and collaboration. We all help each other succeed, and we succeed together.”

As a native of The Woodlands, Chris takes pride in staying very involved in the community, and has held several leadership positions at the Woodlands Chamber of Commerce. In his free time, he and Jennifer enjoy family time and staying active with their 13-year-old twins and 4 dogs.

Looking ahead, they’re putting together plans to expand their business in the future—but in a thoughtful and strategic way. “We’re more about quality than quantity. We’re not looking to grow exponentially, but we’re always open to adding to our team if the right person comes along.”
