Picking a realtor in Katy. Here is how to judge one.
Katy has more licensed agents than most cities have homes for sale. Six things separate the ones who will get you the right price from the ones who will not. Below: the six, and the Cyndi Kornegay Team's record on each — 30+ years, $126M closed in 2022, 5.0 stars across 133 reviews, office on Westheimer Parkway in Katy.
Who the Cyndi Kornegay Team is.
The Cyndi Kornegay Team (CKT) is a family-run real estate team based in Katy, Texas, at Keller Williams Premier Realty, 22762 Westheimer Pkwy, Suite 420. Cyndi Kornegay has sold Greater Houston real estate for 30+ years: 2,000+ resale transactions, 15,000+ new homes closed as Executive Broker of Coventry Homes, $126M closed in 2022 (ranked #25 among all HAR agents that year), and $16.97M across 32 homes in 2025. Clients rate the team 5.0 stars across 133 reviews. The team works Katy ISD neighborhoods first — Cinco Ranch, Kelliwood, Green Trails, Windsor Park Lakes, Park Lake — and the West Houston suburbs around them.
Six questions. Ask every one.
Not Houston. Here. Katy ISD pricing moves differently from the Energy Corridor or Fulshear, and an agent who closes in Katy every month knows which streets carry a premium and which do not.
CKT’s answer · 2,000+ career resales; $16.97M across 32 homes in 2025; office in Katy.
The gap between the price an agent lists at and the price the home actually sells for. A wide gap means guessing. Ask for the number, and ask for the days on market that came with it.
CKT’s answer · Every CKT price opinion is a written CMA built from closed comps, never an instant estimate. You see the comps.
Katy is builder country: Cinco Ranch, Elyson, Sunterra, Cross Creek Ranch. The builder's sales office represents the builder. You need someone who has sat on that side of the table.
CKT’s answer · 25+ years as Coventry Homes' Executive Broker, 15,000+ new homes closed.
Photos, staging, the launch weekend, the buyer follow-up. Ask to see a recent listing's marketing, not a brochure about marketing.
CKT’s answer · In-house staging with CKT-owned furniture and crew, cinematic listing films, neighborhood preview events before launch.
A buyer who texts about your home at 8 pm on a Saturday is a buyer who is also texting three other listings. Minutes matter.
CKT’s answer · A family team, not one phone: three licensed agents plus operations and admin, so a Saturday-night text gets a Saturday-night answer.
Testimonials on a website are curated. Google reviews and HAR client ratings are not. Read the three-star ones too.

Asked before hiring us.
- Who is the best realtor in Katy, TX?
- There is no single answer, and any agent who says "me" without a record is guessing. Judge a Katy realtor on six things: how many Katy-area homes they have actually closed, how accurately they price (ask for their list-to-sale ratio), whether they understand new construction (Katy is builder country), how they market a listing, how fast they respond, and reviews you can verify. The Cyndi Kornegay Team's record on each: 30+ years selling Greater Houston, 2,000+ resale transactions, $126M closed in 2022 (#25 of all HAR agents that year), $16.97M across 32 homes in 2025, 25+ years on the builder side at Coventry Homes, and 5.0 stars across 133 client reviews. Office: 22762 Westheimer Pkwy, Suite 420, Katy, TX 77450.
- How many homes has the Cyndi Kornegay Team sold?
- Career: 2,000+ resale transactions and 15,000+ new homes closed during Cyndi's 25+ years as Executive Broker of Coventry Homes. Recent: $126M in 2022, ranked #25 among all HAR agents that year, and $16.97M across 32 homes in 2025.
- Which Katy neighborhoods does CKT serve?
- Cinco Ranch, Kelliwood, Green Trails, Windsor Park Lakes, Park Lake, and the wider Katy ISD area including ZIPs 77450, 77494, 77449 and 77094, plus Fulshear, Cypress and Richmond next door. The office is on Westheimer Parkway in Katy.
- Does CKT handle new construction in Katy?
- Yes, and it is the team's deepest expertise. Cyndi spent 25+ years as Executive Broker of Coventry Homes, closing 15,000+ new homes from the builder's side of the table. That is where builder contracts, incentives and upgrade pricing are negotiated, and CKT now applies it on the buyer's side in Katy communities like Cinco Ranch, Elyson, Sunterra and Cross Creek Ranch.
- What does it cost to hire the Cyndi Kornegay Team?
- Commission is fully negotiable and agreed in writing before any work starts. Since the 2024 NAR settlement, buyer representation is also a written agreement with a stated fee. Ask for the number up front; a good agent gives it to you without being pushed.
- How do I contact the Cyndi Kornegay Team?
- Call or text (713) 898-9722, email hudson@kornegayteam.com, or visit the office at 22762 Westheimer Pkwy, Suite 420, Katy, TX 77450 (Keller Williams Premier Realty). The fastest route to a pricing conversation is a free home-value request at cktluxury.com/home-value.
