Welcome to Tomball
Discover the Warmth of Tomball Living
Located just 30 miles northwest of Houston, Tomball blends the charm of a historic railroad town with the modern perks of suburban living. Known as “The Hometown with a Heart,” Tomball has a deep-rooted sense of community that’s immediately felt as soon as you arrive. You’ll find tree-lined streets, locally owned boutiques, and welcoming neighbors who treat each other like family. Whether you’re strolling through Old Town Tomball or attending one of the town’s many heritage festivals, there’s always a sense of connectedness here.
Tomball’s roots date back to the early 1900s, when it became a hub for the railroad industry. The town’s historical charm has been carefully preserved, with many original buildings still standing and in use today. This sense of pride in the past, paired with a forward-thinking community, makes Tomball an attractive place for families, retirees, and professionals alike.
The local real estate market in Tomball is diverse and active. From cozy single-family homes in well-established neighborhoods to newer builds in master-planned communities like Woodtrace and Amira, there's something here for every buyer. As your local real estate agent, I stay on top of Tomball's evolving market trends to help buyers and sellers get the best possible outcome. Homes in Tomball generally range from the mid $200s to $600s+, offering affordability without compromising lifestyle.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of parks, trails, and green spaces. Burroughs Park, a 320-acre nature escape, is a local favorite with fishing lakes, sports fields, and trails for hiking and biking. Tomball also boasts a vibrant arts and music scene, with regular live performances at the Tomball Depot Plaza and local breweries hosting events year-round. This is a place where community thrives, where you're not just buying a home — you're becoming part of a story that's still being written.

I met Colleen June 2021 when we decided to sell our home. I have to say she was the most helpful , caring person to ever deal with. She went far beyond what she had too. I will always be grateful for her help. What I have learned about Colleen is she is so upbuilding and loves helping people. She is a great asset to the Tomball community always promoting local bussiness. You can always depend on her. Thank you for being you!!

Colleen helped me find a rental property when I was going through my divorce. She took the time to understand my needs and financial constraints. She was able to find me the most amazing house and we have been in it for 5 years now. I am considering moving, and I plan to work with Colleen. She really does make it “easy as Pye”!

Colleen has been our listing agent for several rental properties over the last 6 years. She is always professional, observant, and does a great job at coordinating all the moving parts of tenant turnover to make the process smooth and positive for all parties. We always look forward to working with her when we have a vacancy and she'll be our go-to person for every tenant turnover in the future!

After buying and selling multiple homes with Colleen Pye as my realtor, I am very happy to share what a great experience having Colleen Pye on your side really is. My dealings with Colleen go back 20+ years. Her knowledge, honesty, and zest for doing her job is why I wouldn't ever look elsewhere when selling or buying a home. She is experienced with the Texas real estate market and doggedly does the research to price your home right when you sell, and when you're buying a home, she can find that amazing jewel of a home that is in your budget.
Colleen is wonderful to have on your side when you are looking to sell. Let's face it, no home is perfect. Anyone who has sold a home knows the struggle of deciding what repairs or upgrades they should do before putting a home on the market. As homeowners we get fixated on things and can miss the big picture of what other people may see. Colleen has been a smart guide in what work really needs to be completed prior to putting a property on the market. She can definitely let you know what things will make the most impact, as well what things won't improve the selling ability or value of your home.
When buying a home, Colleen works constantly to farrow out your dream home. She uses her wide range of contacts and resources to provide her clients with the best opportunities on the market.
During contract negotiations I really appreciate the fact that Colleen is excellent at communications. I've never felt "out of the loop" or left wondering what is going on. If issues arise, she is dedicated and creative about resolving them. From start to closing, buying or selling, she is with you each step of the way.
Finally, Colleen can provide you with a wealth of information no matter what phase of your real estate adventure you are in. I can attest to the fact that no matter what information you need, from mortgage companies, to moving companies, HOA questions answered, to needing a handyman, Colleen is the person to call. Whether buying or selling, Colleen Pye will never disappoint.

My husband and I have bought and sold several properties with Colleen Pye over the years and had a wonderful experience each time. Knowledgable, honest, transparent, realistic, an incredible advocate when things get challenging (as they are bound to do in real estate) - she is everything you could want in a realtor and more. She always has our best interest in mind and has gone above and beyond to protect our interests and ensure expectations are clearly communicated and executed. She is a true relief and a joy to work with in such a tough industry. Thank you, Colleen!!

Colleen has been my go-to girl for real estate and so much more. Once you’ve established a relationship with her, you are forever under her wing. Even beyond my selling and buying many homes through her as an agent, she checks in regularly making sure I have all the right information to ease me through my home owning experience.
Her love for Tomball and supporting the community goes way beyond and deeper than being her client.

Colleen is an outstanding Realtor. I am a licensed Texas lawyer and Texas Real Estate Broker, but when I sell my personal real estate, I use Colleen. She knows the market and is an exceptional negotiator. She has sold three properties for me over the last couple of years and she gets more impressive every time.

Colleen has been our savior for our rental properties. She is one of the best in the industry.
Certainly, the only choice in our opinion for Tomball .Okay.. she is the only choice.
She lives and breathes all things Tomball. She is there for us all the way.. a referral for a repair man, making sure she picks just the right tenant.. not only a great realtor, but she has also become a dear friend. She answers the PHONE.. which is so important to me.
I have called her late at night.. and on Fridays at 5.. Margarita time. She always answers.
It is Easy as PYE..

Colleen Pye is the absolute best! Her love and devotion for the city of Tomball is unmatched. She graciously has sponsored my son's Tomball Little League baseball team. Not only is she our sponsor, but I feel like we have a new fan. If I ever buy or sell in the future, Colleen will be my first call. She is a gem!!!!

Colleen Pye makes home buying “Easy as Pye”. We were from out of state and first-time home buyers. Colleen ensured we were taken care of every step of the way. She met us two different times when we flew to Texas to see houses. Her expertise and dedication to her clients, friends were instrumental in achieving success of finding the right home to purchase. Colleen is extremely reliable and a quick responder to even the most basic of questions. She was kind and patient with us every step of the way. Colleen is an expert in the neighborhoods where we were looking and really nailed our style. When we finally zeroed in on our home, she continued to be our champion making sure every little detail between the offer and the closing was addressed. We can’t recommend Colleen enough – buying a home with her really is “Easy as Pye.”

Colleen Pye sold us our home over 10 years ago, and even back then, she went above and beyond to support us through every step of the process. Since then, she has continued to be an incredible resource — most recently helping us gather important information to protest our property value this year. Colleen is not only an amazing person, but also a truly exceptional real estate agent. She’s knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely advocates for her clients’ best interests. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done for our family and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

She is the QUEEN of Tomball. Everyone knows it but her... she shies from it.
She is a Champion for Tomball.. I recently attended a party at her house. The turnout was amazing. All but 3 people showed up. That says a lot.
In this life, you may have 5 true friends. She had over 70. I can speak for all about how much she is loved ( and Al ) in this community.
She was sure to love on each of us.. it was not all about real estate. It was about US. It was about her local community and we all felt like family.
As a realtor, she has sold me three houses, and I refer her every chance I get. She looks out Tomball .
A SPECIAL Soul.. we are lucky to have her in this community.
