The Kink Team to Manage Woodforest Custom Sales


(Montgomery, TX – Feb. 1, 2010)              Woodforest is partnering with one of the Houston area’s top realty teams to manage the sale of custom properties in the new South Montgomery County development. 
The Kink Team, led by Realtors Bruce and Diane Kink, now spearheads sales of custom homes and homesites in Woodforest, working with builders, homebuyers and other Realtors to promote the community and coordinate custom home sales.

“We essentially work as the custom sales arm for the development,” Bruce Kink said. “We promote the magnificent custom home products, put prospective buyers in touch with the custom builders and make sure the buyers are well cared for.”

The Kink Team, part of Keller Williams-The Woodlands, has been named one of the top 10 Realtor teams in the Houston area the past four years by the Houston Business Journal and is ranked in the top 30 Realtors among Keller Williams’ 75,000 agents. The team has worked primarily in The Woodlands-Conroe-Montgomery County region, with an emphasis on luxury properties.

“Woodforest has a lot going for it,” Bruce said. “It has a strong development team, with Virgil Yoakum, who was vital to the success of The Woodlands, and Kristi Steward, who has a great deal of marketing experience. Woodforest also has attracted the top builders in the area and it has a great location near all of the area’s amenities.

“The pricing in Woodforest is also very appealing,” Bruce said. “You will not find anywhere in Montgomery County a selection of golf course custom properties in a master-planned community like Woodforest without paying a heavy premium. This is truly the diamond in the forest.”

“Custom homes are an integral part of the Woodforest community and we are very fortunate to partner with such a knowledgeable and well-respected sales team,” said Susie Goff, who oversees the custom sales division of The Johnson Development Corp.’s residential development projects, including Woodforest. “The Kink Team brings us years of professionalism to represent our well-known, excellent custom builders.”

Woodforest currently has two custom home neighborhoods, Elk Trace, offering one-acre homesites along Woodforest Golf Club, and nearby Elk Reserve, staged around two lakes. Jeff Paul Custom Homes, George Weaver Custom Homes and Meadowlark Homes now showcase homes in Woodforest, continuing successful building programs that have helped them become the area’s premier custom builders. Several homes are ready or nearing completion. A custom home tour is planned for this spring.

In addition, Woodforest will soon announce a program for the sale of custom homesites directly to buyers, the first release of sites to be offered to individuals. Those interested should contact Woodforest Custom Properties at 936.447.2800.

“With finished homes, the upcoming showcase, our new homesite program and The Kink Team partnership, the Woodforest custom home program has gained momentum,” said Yoakum, general manager of Woodforest. “With their extensive knowledge of not just this area, but also the custom home neighborhoods in the area, The Kink Team will represent Woodforest well. Also, they have a dedicated associate staff to support our homebuyers, helping make the building and purchasing process move smoothly.”

Our associate staff also will be helpful to other Realtors involved with custom home transactions in Woodforest, Bruce said. “We look forward to working with other Realtors and envision an easy working relationship.”

“Realtors are, of course, always welcome and are integral to the success of Woodforest,” Yoakum said. “Realtors should make sure they are registered with their client, which ensures their commissions are protected. As long as a Realtor is registered as the agent of record with their client, that agent’s 3 percent commission stands, even with the Kink Team’s involvement.” For more information on Woodforest, visit www.woodforestdev.com.
