Where are you from originally?
I was born and raised in Portugal (Outside of Lisbon) and moved to The Netherlands at 18 yrs, where I lived for over a decade before moving to Texas.
How did you get into real estate?
I think my getting into real estate was a culmination of many things and honestly, all my life was a preparation that led me to get my license. My father was a builder, I grew up with blueprints and construction sites. My first adult relationship was with a contractor. I always had an interest in home decor and all things “home”. And I have moved between so many countries myself, so I was no stranger to buying and selling homes. When I arrived in Texas and found myself unhappy in my corporate career, I started researching more about becoming a Realtor, I fell in love. And with the huge support from my family and friends, that had been asking me for years to do real estate, it was a natural fit.

Where do you predominately sell real estate?
My main market is in Houston and the surrounding neighborhoods, but I also sell homes internationally as a CIPS (Certified International Specialist) with listings in Portugal, Costa Rica, and Brazil.

What do you love about the industry?
Real Estate is a world of its own. I can sincerely say that it is the most challenging and difficult career I’ve ever had, and the most fulfilling. It’s different every day, you meet wonderful people from all walks of life. You have to stay engaged and always learning new things. It keeps me on my toes and grounded. I love a good challenge, but as well, the opportunity to help others and make their dream come true, from first time home buyers to sellers or investors.

How do you distinguish yourself from the crowd of agents?
Stay top of mind, provide value, and make sure I provide the best customer service possible. My reviews speak for themselves. I love what I do and I let it be seen by connecting with people’s hearts by being a real estate agent with heart while delivering great results

Which Home Builders have you had a great experience working with in the last 12 months?
We are blessed to have several amazing builders in Houston. As part of the Greater Houston Builder Association, I get to interact with all types of builders and I make sure I am aware of their products so I can better serve my buyers.
