Victor Boyd

Victor Boyd is now a member of the JL Fine Homes team. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. Whether buying, selling, leasing, or looking at investment opportunities, he utilizes his acquired skills working as an engineer and manager in oil exploration, (Geophysics) industry, as well as his degree in Economics to evaluate the housing market and serve his clients. Buying and selling a home is one of the biggest decisions we make in life, and Victor looks to educate his clients first, then assist and serve them, listening to their needs and desires, to guide them on their path to home ownership. Victor grew up in the Memorial area of Houston, attending Memorial High School, before departing for the Colorado School of Mines to study Geophysical Engineering.

 

During summers and semesters off, he began his career in oil exploration working in far-off locales in Africa, South America, and Asia. After a period of working abroad, he returned to Houston to focus on business management by studying Economics at the University of Houston, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Economics. Upon graduation, he worked as a manager and supervisor of seismic acquisition crews, again traveling the world, including countries in South America and Mexico, the Middle East, West, and Northern Africa, the former USSR, Asia, and the Canadian and US Arctic. Victor has managed operations offshore and onshore, ranging from small groups to operations of over 1,000 employees. Eventually, he took his family with him to live abroad, where he was able to share his adventurous spirit with his wife and two children in Bahrain and Mexico.

 

He is fluent in Spanish and conversant in Portuguese. When Victor returned to Houston, he chose to live in Katy with his family because of the excellent schools and wonderful neighborhood of Cinco Ranch. He says, "As I was deciding what my next chapter would be, I came into contact with people in various roles in the real estate business and it seemed like a fascinating industry, so many of the real estate professionals I spoke to didn't talk about the market, or the financial rewards, but rather spoke of helping people and the joy that came with this job." Helping people navigate the home search process appealed to him and he began his second career, in real estate, in 2017. In 2022, Victor joined Compass and we are so glad to have him.
