Our company culture speaks to who we are and the type of agent we attract.
Support. We believe a well-supported agent results in a well-served client. Which is why we are committed to offering the highest level of products, services, tools, and technology available.
Teamwork. Together our agents collaborate, learn from each other, and support each other while building their businesses.
Success is different to everyone, but certainly for each person it is some combination of financial stability or achievement, freedom and time to enjoy friends, family and life experiences. We work closely with our agents to support them in their journey to success.
Freedom to work where and when you want, whether it is a shared office space, a home office, a coffee shop or a pool lounger.
Life. Oh, and we like to have fun, laugh, travel, spend time with friends and family, eat good food, drink great wine, and make good money! Yeah, we said it. We like making money and we bet you do to.
Our people truly are a reflection of our culture. We invite you to discover if NextHome Real Estate Place is a great fit for you and a place you’d be proud to say “This is my Next Home!”
Robyn Jones – Broker/Owner
Robyn is a Licensed Attorney & MBA and spent over 20 years as an entertainment executive & attorney for companies like Paramount Pictures & Capitol Records. Robyn has been featured 7x by Texas Monthly Magazine as a 5-Star Realtor, a “Best of Houzz” professional by Houzz.com; received the 2015 and 2016 NextHome Hall of Fame Award for high sales & volume; the 100 Most Influential Realtor Crystal Award by the Master Mind Summit and is in the top .05 percent of sales volume in Katy.
Alvin Jones – Realtor/Owner
Alvin is a career Oil and Gas executive with a great appreciation for real estate and architecture. As a matter of fact, besides golf, scotch and cigars, Alvin loves nothing more than real estate (okay, so it comes in fourth place, but who’s counting). Being a licensed Realtor and co-owner of NextHome Real Estate Place and NextHome Living allows (as Alvin says) for him to sell more houses on the golf course than most Realtors do full-time. Not sure if that’s true or not, but since we are doing pretty well in the Katy golf communities, there could be something to it!
NextHome’s proprietary technology enables every NextHome agent to conduct business efficiently from their home, car, or any other convenient location. That is why we encourage you to work where you are comfortable, your home office with your dog under your desk or your kitchen table with the sun streaming through the window. Flexibility is freedom and freedom is happiness!
We offer two work spaces in Katy that reflect our desire for our agents to be able to work on the go and drop in when they need to meet with clients or just have a quiet place to work. Our collaborative work space is conveniently located in the HEBplus on the Grand Parkway and Fry Road. Drop in and take advantage of the free Wi-Fi, one of the 4 computers, the telephone, charging stations and grab a beverage or snack! This crisp, modern office has all the latest tools, technology, and the added bonus of over 100 feet of prime window space. Our office suite located in La Centerra offers private day offices and a sleek conference room that can be reserved for private meetings with clients.
At NextHome Real Estate Place and NextHome Living, we believe the freedom to work where you are comfortable is key. Unshackle yourself from cubicles, big offices and desk fees!
COMMISSION STRUCTURE
Our fee structure is straight forward with no hidden fees, sign up fees, class fees or paperwork fines. We recognize one size does not fit all.
NO DESK FEES
We recognize most agents work from home or on the go and don’t want to pay for a desk, office or cubicle! No reason to maintain an expensive desk sitting there 24/7 that you rarely use!

NO MANDATORY WEEKLY MEETINGS
We won’t suck up your time sitting in meeting after meeting. We would rather have you use that time to market yourself and build your business, while training online at your own pace. Office training and meetings will be scheduled, as needed.

WHAT OUR AGENTS ARE SAYING
-
As a Realtor licensed in Texas and California, I have been exposed to various companies in both states. Robyn Jones with NextHome Real Estate Place and NextHome Living in California gives me the opportunity to work with one broker. Robyn wants her Realtors involved with decisions that help make the company grow. She listens to your opinions and your ideas no matter how small they may seem. What broker do you know that asks if you would like to come along on a listing presentation? Well, Robyn does! Another advantage is that Robyn is a licensed Attorney and has amazing negotiating skills that far pass other brokers.

Being a new agent – joining Robyn and her team I believe is the smartest choice I could have made. Robyn is incredibly knowledgeable about real estate, and cares deeply about the success of her agents. Robyn and her team are always on top of the newest technology and tools for Realtors which is something I’ve found to be rare and refreshing. Couldn’t ask for a better real estate family. Our mascot Luke is just the icing on the cake!
