The Researcher Who Became a Realtor

When I bought my first home, I was fascinated by the process — not just the emotional experience of ownership, but the research behind it. What makes a market move? What makes a property hold value? What separates a good investment from a bad one? Those questions led me to real estate. My PhD taught me how to answer them.

For over 20 years, I've been applying that same analytical discipline to helping clients make confident real estate decisions. I spent 15 years with Keller Williams building a residential practice recognized with multiple Top Producer awards and consistent 5-star client experience ratings. My clients didn't choose me because I was the loudest or the flashiest — they chose me because I did the homework no one else was willing to do.

Today, I specialize in medical office and healthcare real estate through Helix Realty Team, operating under Walzel Properties in Houston. I made this transition because medical office combines everything I do best: deep market research, analytical rigor, and the ability to understand a client's operational needs — not just their square footage requirements.

When you work with me, you're not getting a corporate experience. You're getting MJ — my phone number, my direct attention, and my personal commitment to making sure you have every piece of information you need to make the best decision for your practice, your portfolio, or your property.
