Growing up in The Woodlands, Texas, a proud first-generation individual with Mexican heritage, this real estate agent turned personal aspirations into a career that supports others in achieving their own dreams of homeownership.
Born in Houston, they identified a lifelong goal from a young age: to become the first in their family to graduate college, a dream they successfully fulfilled.
Before embarking on a real estate journey, they honed their skills by working with a new home builder, specializing in selling new-construction homes. This previous experience laid a solid foundation for their current role in real estate.
Amidst the challenges that accompany the job, adapting to market shifts emerges as one of the most trying aspects. It requires agents to think creatively and discover innovative strategies to ensure clients’ needs are met, no matter the circumstances.
When it comes to generating new leads, this agent emphasizes the importance of social media. Most of their leads stem from an active online presence, referrals, and connections within their sphere of influence. Authenticity and consistency are key to attracting potential clients.
Relaxation comes easy for this real estate agent, especially since recently acquiring their dream home on the lake. Weekends are often spent fishing or cruising the waters in a boat to beloved local restaurants.
When asked about Houston’s best-kept secret, they point to the suburban areas surrounding the city, where remarkable property values make it possible for families to find their dream homes without financial strain.
Their admiration for the industry is evident, particularly in their relationship with their real estate team. They work with the No. 1 real estate agent, Elio Alanis, from whom they have learned invaluable lessons. The team exemplifies growth through support and pushing one another to excellence, creating a motivated work environment.
Despite the challenges, there have also been memorable moments on the job. They recounted a unique experience where, upon opening a door to a new-construction home, a pack of dogs emerged unexpectedly—an unforgettable showing that left a lasting impression.
On a more personal note, they confidently share their bilingual abilities; fluency in Spanish is a testament to their connection with a diverse clientele. This skill not only enhances their professional effectiveness but also enriches client interactions.
When it comes to inspiration, the agent often turns to Ryan Serhant’s YouTube videos and Netflix series, which have significantly influenced their mindset and approach to real estate. Currently, they are immersing themselves in the book ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad,’ which has been an eye-opener about money and building wealth.
As for indulgence, their favorite culinary experience in Houston includes a delightful steak from Maestro’s, showcasing the vibrant food culture of the city.
Architecturally, they admire the Williams Tower, a notable landmark in Houston, symbolizing the city’s skyline.
With aspirations to meet cultural icons, they express a desire to engage with Oprah Winfrey, a figure who has transformed her life from humble beginnings to immense success.
For newcomers in the real estate industry, they offer simple yet powerful advice: ‘Discipline.’
Their favorite vacation destination is the island of Ikaria in Greece, where cherished summer memories stay etched in their heart.
This real estate agent not only embodies the American dream but also actively participates in helping others achieve their own. Their journey illustrates the value of hard work, community, and the unyielding pursuit of one’s dreams.
