I hope you love your new home! As a new resident of the H-Town area, you may be interested in my information on where to look for furniture and more.
Furniture
If you head north on Fondren from I-59, you will find a lot of different furniture stores. I call this section, up to Westheimer, “Furniture Row.” You will also find rug, fabric, and lighting stores in that area.
There is also a Star Furniture nearby (see map below) which IMHO has the best quality-for-the-price furniture around. There is also a Star Furniture Clearance Outlet where you may get a great deal.
If you like modern/contemporary furniture, then check out Cantoni.
And don’t forget the iconic GALLERY FURNITURE in Houston, which is an awesome furniture buying experience and they can usually deliver on the same day! (Read about owner “Mattress Mack” who is a Houston icon.)
APPLIANCES
I have purchased several appliances (refrigerators, ovens, TVs) online at ABT Electronics. They have different levels of delivery service, depending on what you need. Watch out for large refrigerators and getting them through your door! I had to have a handyman remove my door in order to get my last refrigerator inside, and it’s just a regular refrigerator.
There are also Appliance Outlets all over Houston, just check around on Google Maps.
HOME DECOR
I like to make home decor collections on Amazon (helps with staging). Sometimes you can mix and match, like yellow and gray, or navy and gold:
I also help people with “budget decorating” where you can make your home look great using inexpensive touches and items you already have. You can see a few examples of how I transform homes from my Staging Samples page. Just contact me for help.
Buying & Selling Real Estate Is a Huge Investment
Don’t You Deserve a Five Star Real Estate Agent?

REALTORS DON’T “JUST” SELL HOUSESReal estate agents don’t “just” sell houses; we sell a SERVICE to effectively guide home buyers and sellers through the entire real estate transaction, which usually takes several months. We are more like real estate consultants than we are salespeople. That’s probably why 86 percent of all home buyers and sellers choose to hire a real estate agent when buying or selling a home! Buying or selling a home is not like buying or selling a TV, a computer, or a car. You can’t buy/sell a home on the Internet with a couple of clicks. There are MANY legal aspects, deadlines, and requirements that most people are not trained to handle. What’s more…mistakes along the way can cost you thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars. The financial risk is much greater than just about anything else you may buy.

Why You Should Hire Sheila Cox As Your Agent
Integrity—I promise to give you candid opinions on all homes and areas so you can make the best decisions. I won’t ignore potential defects that can cost you money, or effect your resale value, in the future…I point them out to you! My job is to protect you, as much as possible, from defective homes while helping you make a sound financial investment. You will get more REAL info from me regarding homes/neighborhoods than you ever had before! (Read client testimonials)
Local Area Expertise—This isn’t just my business…it’s where I work and live (for 20+ years) so I really know the area. I will help you narrow your options and find the best neighborhood for you based on your specifications. For long-term resale value, the neighborhood you choose is just as important as the home you buy. (Download my Ultimate Katy Guide)
Great Pricing Data—I will give you the most in-depth data you have ever seen…to help you make the wisest decisions. This includes a professional CMA when you are ready to purchase a specific home…so you don’t pay too much. You can’t get this level of pricing information anywhere else. (Also see Pricing a Home Correctly)
Premium Customized Home Searches—Yes, you can search on your own, but no other home search available can filter down to the school level…and filter out the subdivisions that may be known to flood. Plus my search includes “Coming Soon” homes not listed on other websites. (Request a Premium Customized Home Search)
Video Home Tours—If you or your spouse lives out of the state or country, then you will enjoy my detailed video home tours. I have sold multiple homes to out-of-area clients “site unseen” by providing High Definition video walkthroughs of potential homes. My videos show front and back yards, closets, pantries, laundry rooms, and the garage…as well as the entire home. This gives you a complete picture of the house (unlike Matterports). I also point out any potential defects or deferred maintenance that I see. (view sample video walkthrough)
Easier Process—Moving your family (and possibly changing jobs) is stressful enough. I’m your transaction manager and will guide you, step-by-step, through the process so you never miss an important deadline. I assist with inspections, repair negotiations, home warranties, HOA compliance inspections, hazard insurance, surveys, appraisals, title commitment, home warranties, title commitment, and more.
