The View from Morrison Heights
Fisher Homes is excited to present Morrison Heights, a 36-unit, custom built, luxury mid-rise condominium in Woodland Heights. Completely outfitted with high-end amenities including a fitness facility, community club room, guest suites, controlled access with security monitoring. Residents enjoy having access to the trails at white oak bayou and the views of the picturesque downtown skyline. Terry Fisher, Owner of Fisher Homes, has been making a name for himself over the past eight years in the Houston Heights area, as one of its premier builders. He was named as a finalist for Best Developer in The Leader’s Reader’s Choice Awards for his work on Rutland Street. It is Fisher’s goal to continue to work within the community to enhance the beauty of this great neighborhood. Professionally, Fisher demands accountability and consistency from his team. Every member of his staff has a vested interest in each build from start to finish. What separates Fisher Homes from other builders is not only the custom finishes and features, but the overall quality of the home. When Fisher isn’t working the community, he spends time with his wife and five children. His oldest son has been working side by side with him over the past several summers and even assisted in the design of the mid-rise.

Jack & Pamela Wright, owners
last two years here at the wonderful Wright Pawn and Jewelry. Just when you think you’ve seen it all something new comes through the door. The best thing about this store is Jack and Pamela Wright! They are the most fair and professional business owners I have ever been involved with. They genuinely love their customers, their business and their employees.
I have worked for 4 years in the jewelry business as a GIA Accredited Jewelry Professional; the last two years at Wright Pawn and Jewelry. I truly love my job because no two days are alike. I also really enjoy helping customers find the “perfect” gift and being a part of their special moment in life. The best part of working at Wright Pawn and Jewelry is getting to work with such great people.
Linda Calk I have been working at Wright Pawn and Jewelry for over 2 years and every day is a unique day full of new experiences. Working in this environment has given me a new perspective of the pawn business. Pamela and Jack Wright make this business the “Wright” place to be, and the “Wright” place to work! It’s an honor to work with highcaliber people like Pamela and Jack.
Jarah E. Flores Eight years of pawn experience makes me realize my love, passion and dedication for this industry. I especially love my job because of the people I work with and being able to help customers. But the best thing is working every day for Wright Pawn and Jewelry.
