The very best realtor. We relocated cross country from Pennsylvania to katy, texas during COVID right, days before Thanksgiving. Irina not only found us the perfect place for my family & I, but she also made sure the every step in the process was done correctly and smoothy. I was so worried about the move and finding the right home as I basically said yes to our rental via phone. Irina truly was able to filter through homes and go look at homes for us with perfect timing. I beyond recommend her she is very friendly very understanding and compassionate and can make the house hunting experience a breeze. I will definitely be having irina as our realtor when we decide to purchase a home and recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Being first time home buyers, Me an my family want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Irina.
She did an awesome job in finding us the right home. She had helped us every step in buying our home, right from the short-listings, recommendations, reviewing documents, finalizing deals and closure. She was always available to answer our questions and offer valuable advice. Our entire process went smoothly and worry free. She was so communicative, helpful, patient, and totally generous with her time and energy.
We couldn't have asked for a better agent as she exceeded our expectations in every step.
I DEFINITELY recommend Irina to anyone who is looking for the best agent to work with in home buying and selling process. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her in future.
Thank you again for everything!

Ms Chong is an amazing Realtor. She is the consummate example of what every service professional should be and should do for their clients. She kept me informed, fought to correct issues by the builder and seller, and she became a friend. Not only was she my agent on my new home purchase, she will be my agent an any future transactions.

Irina Chong was a pleasure to work with. She took us to see many houses over the course of 2 months and she was so patient with us. She never made us feel like we were wasting her time, and she understood our wants on a home. Great experience working with her.

The buying process was very daunting at first. Thankfully, we had Ms. Irina Chong. She helped us each step of the way and to eventually close on our dream home. She always had our interest first and went above and beyond to represent us. Her experience and knowledge is astounding. My wife and I couldn't be happier!

My wife's and my lives had been experiencing tremendous obstacles, from cancer to heart surgery and on and on. We had to sell our home (located in M/W S-N, just east of your office on Hillcroft. After finally resigning myself to the need to sell our home, I decided to stop in your office there on Hillcroft after leaving WalMart grocery. I walked in and happened to meet our soon-to-be agent, Irina Chong. While chance can often be good or not-so-good, my meeting coincidentally at the front desk upon entering the office has, in retrospect, proved to be far more than mere happenstance. Far MORE!
Irina helped see us through a very tough time. Her wise counsel, kind words, and never-ending diligence in helping us get over the "finish line" literally saved our home and let us move forward to a great rental property (of which she also helped). Quite frankly, I don't have the words to adequately express our admiration and respect for Irina. But, I have and will definitely recommend Wayne Murray Realtors to everyone I know, especially my former neighbors. I will also most definitely enlist Irina's services if and when we look to purchase our next home.
She has our undying gratitude!!

We would give 10 stars if we could.
Irina is not only knowledgeable, experienced, but she is a dedicated agent. She's always there when we needed her. She holds high responsibility and integrity for her standard of service. First class all the way. We couldn't be happier to have met her. We would use Irina exclusively from now on for all of our real estate needs in Houston!
Looking for a house in a brand new city we’ve never lived in before can be challenging. Not knowing the real estate market and the local trend can be scary. Irina guided us all the way from the very beginning. Just before moving to Houston,
Irina found us a house to lease first and then started looking for homes in the areas we think we wanted to be in.
Irina took us around and looked at many homes in many different neighborhoods before deciding on a neighborhood. We found a listing that we wanted to offer so the negotiation began.
Irina is a good negotiator. She was able to put the deal together with great persuasion and no loss to either party. We couldn’t be happier with the purchase.
Irina was also very detailed oriented during escrow period. She wanted to make sure we were very careful with all the disclosures, reading of all inspection reports, and things to look out for in the purchasing process. These are the things we don’t know as new residents in a new town. Glad she guided us and looked after us.
We experienced a smooth and easy purchase transaction. We couldn’t be happier with Irina’s help. She is a top notch realtor. You will be glad if you have Irina as your agent whether it’s buying or selling!
