We have a rollercoaster of a conversation where we explore various topics, such as the costs of long-term renting versus the financial benefits of homeownership and the pivotal moments in Claude's journey to becoming the Chief of Talent for Southwest schools. We share some laughter over memories and get serious about the lessons learned from humble beginnings and the power of enduring friendships.

She spills the secrets behind her 'Tay way' of doing business. With a knack for luxury leasing and sales, Taylor's story is a masterclass in personal branding and the art of the pivot. Her insights into the Houston luxury rental market are as valuable as they are fascinating, revealing what truly sets apart the lavish from the merely excellent and how building relationships is the cornerstone of her booming career.
Life can often throw surprises our way, and it's essential to be able to adapt to them. Despite her own personal struggles, she has leased over 20 units in less than two years, using social media and other tactics to create a standout brand.
During our conversation, Taylor shares valuable insights on the ins and outs of luxury apartment leasing. She explains what sets a truly luxurious experience apart from an average one and how taking the time to understand each property intimately can build client trust.

We explore the trends driving Houston's luxury rental market, from stunning downtown views to high-end amenities that define upscale living.
