We can’t thank Rudy with MoveMeToTexas enough for everything he did for us during this journey. Buying a home can be stressful and overwhelming, but from the very beginning Rudy was so helpful, patient, and understanding with all the questions I had. No matter how many times I reached out, he was always responsive and took the time to make sure I understood every step of the process. Rudy truly went above and beyond to help us find the house we needed, not just a house, but a place that felt right for our family. He always made sure I had no doubts, answered every concern, and gave us peace of mind throughout the entire process. We never felt alone in this journey because he was always there for us. everything feel so easy and moved things along super fast. Together, Rudy and the team made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and exciting. We are beyond grateful for all of their hard work, support, and dedication. We truly recommend Rudy and MoveMeToTexas from the bottom of our hearts!”

A little backstory, in the heat of a PCS transfer, tight timelines, first time home buyers. Derrick Crain and his team went ABOVE & BEYOND to help my wife and I find our dream spot. All throught the process from the initial homes that weren’t meant for us, the late night questions we had, the knowledge and connections around the city to be able to get everything done for us.. that’s what this team provided for us. It didn’t stop once we closed either. After closing and before we were even in the state, Derrick (who is a veteran as well) was going to the home to take in deliveries so we could have some creature comforts upon arrival as well as coordinating his connections to ensure the home was looking its best for when we got there. Needless to say I will be referring anyone I know to this team in the future! They truly made our first buying experience as manageable and exciting as possible.

Rudy Ortega and The MoveMeToTX team was fantastic to work with. They were professional, responsive, and always kept us informed throughout the entire process. The videos and photos they created of our home were top‑notch and really showcased the property beautifully. We always felt in the loop and supported. Highly recommend their team.

I worked with Andrea Ruiz—I found her on TikTok—and she made me feel comfortable. Being a first-time homebuyer can be scary, but she made the process so easy. She went above and beyond to find our dream home and negotiated the best deal for us. She made the entire process stress-free and was always available to answer questions. I highly recommend Andrea Ruiz to anyone—she was an absolute pleasure to work with! 100 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Derrick is the man!! He helped me every step of the way. As a first time homebuyer, I had so many questions, at times I felt very overwhelmed! But Derrick was there for me every step of the way calling and texting me reassuring me. He made sure I had all the information necessary to make my best home buying decisions. From choosing a mortgage lender to home inspector. Derrick and I clicked immediately, he understood my wants and needs for my home. I throughly enjoyed working with him, we were on the same wavelength from start to closing date! Thanks so much for everything 🙏 !!

We had a fantastic experience working with Ryan Steer throughout the process of selling our home. His professionalism, market knowledge, and clear communication made the entire home selling process smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, he ensured a seamless transaction and made it clear that his commitment to helping us continues well beyond closing. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and dedicated real estate professional.

We had a great experience working with Derrick Crain and his team during our move from Florida to Texas. Derrick was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the process, which made things much smoother during a long-distance move. He was helpful in guiding us through the steps and remained responsive whenever we had questions. Even after closing, he’s continued to be available and supportive, which we appreciate ALOT!! Paige Bowman was great to work with—very knowledgeable with the numbers and detail-oriented. She played an important role in helping my wife and I secure our dream home with our financing! Overall, we’re thankful for Derrick, Paige, and the team for helping us through the process and getting us into our home.

Rudy was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire home buying process. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer questions or guide us in the right direction. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared—he wasn’t just trying to close a deal, he wanted to make sure we found the right home. He made everything smooth and stress-free, from showings to closing, and went above and beyond at every step. If you’re looking for a realtor who is reliable, honest, and truly has your best interest in mind, I highly recommend Rudy.

My husband and I worked with Andrea as first time homeowners and she made the process so seamless and easy. She always made sure she found a solution, quick to respond, and paid attention to every detail from the house tours until we got to that closing table. She always had our best interests in mind and played such a pivotal role in this milestone! I highly recommend Andrea to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home!

I had the pleasure of working with Andrea to sell my home earlier this year, and I couldn’t be more happier with the experience.

Working with Derrick has been a great experience. I loved the patience and steadfastness he handled my home purchase with. Those were the two most important qualities to me and also always very timely too.

Andrea Ruiz is an unbelievable agent!! She was very supportive throughout the whole sales process and had extensive knowledge of both real estate in general and the Houston market in particular. I would recommend Andrea for anyone selling their home, especially if they want somebody who will motivate them to take action and put their house on the market. 10 out 5 stars!!
Matthew HartGoogleSep 2025
The realtor during my home buying experience is a gentleman named David Outlaw. David helped me throughout the whole process and made every step easy and painless. He didnt let me make any uninformed decisions and gave me detailed information about every document I read and signed. I cannot give the man enough praise. He’s one of the pros, and im very happy to have had him working with me. I had heard the home buying experience was a confusing and daunting ordeal. David made it a seamless and stress free experience.

Ramses MccrearyGoogleSep 2025
Andrea has been absolutely amazing, She helped me and my sister sell our inherited property and made sure we received full market value. At first, I was a bit skeptical about finding the right realtor, but after interviewing several, Andrea and her team stood out right away. Her process was clear, professional, and effective. She was very transparent throughout the entire sale and always made us feel like I was part of the process. Andrea also took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and gets results.

Well, the day finally came. We stood strong and with the help of Rudy Ortega we were able to sell our house. We can't thank Rudy Ortega enough for all his hard work, long nights and countless times he had to go to the house to check things out. It is beyond words to explain his dedication to his job. This wasn't an easy task by no means, but he never shied away from the challenge. Always taking our calls no matter how big or small the ask or the need. Dwayne and me are so Thankful for his persistence and patience with us and this challenging market. His and ours faith made this a very easy win for both of us. If you ever need anyone to help sell your house or buy one, please give Rudy Ortega a try, you won't be disappointed.

We had an excellent experience working with David Outlaw. From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and truly understood our needs in finding the perfect home. He listened carefully to what we wanted and made sure every step of the process went smoothly. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, we were able to close today without any issues, and we couldn’t be happier with our new home. Thank you, David, for making this such a positive and stress-free experience!
