01 MeetAmy Raper
A consistently top-rated multi-million-dollar producer, Amy was drawn into a career in real estate by her passion for people, homes, and decorating, combined with an advanced business acumen. During Amy’s nearly 14 years as a Certified Public Accountant in the oil and gas industry, her attention to detail, strong work ethic, and can-do attitude made her the go-to person to coordinate and facilitate complex, high-profile projects.
A life-long Houstonian, she has lived “inside the Loop” in the Highland Village area, moving to The Woodlands in 2002. Amy’s familiarity with Houston’s core and suburban areas makes her an invaluable neighborhood and lifestyle resource for her clients.
Education is an integral part of Amy’s life. She holds a BBA from Texas A&M University in management information systems; an MS in accounting from University of Houston Clear Lake; a CPA license; and a Texas Real Estate Broker License. Her drive and determination to stay informed about Houston’s dynamic real estate market motivates Amy to stay abreast of current trends through continuing Realtor education and she has earned her Certified Negotiation Expert, Accredited Luxury Home Specialist, and Certified Home Marketing Specialist designations.
Amy and her husband have three sons and a daughter, with the oldest son at the University of Arkansas, and the remaining three attending schools in The Woodlands. Amy loves attending her children’s sports and activities, traveling, watching college football, going to the Round Top Antiques Fair, and spending time with her family. She is an active PTO member and volunteer at her children’s schools and supports the American Heart Association, the Gulf Coast Marrow Donor Program, Will Herndon Fund at Beyond Batten Disease Foundation, and several local sports organizations/booster clubs. She is also a member of The Woodlands Chamber of Commerce and serves on the Cochran’s Crossing Village Association Board.
