I was born in Greece, and at the age of two, my family moved to Texas. I have lived all around Houston, and I know this city very well. I have extensive knowledge of the Houston market, and I enjoy helping my clients find the home that best suits their lifestyle. I am a proud graduate of University of Texas at Austin. I also earned my Graduate Degree in Counseling. After 12 years of teaching middle school (God bless the teachers), it was time for a career change.
I began my real estate career in 2004 primarily as a real estate investor, where I was doing short sales before they became the “Transaction Du Jour”. Most of the properties I own today were purchased through a short sale. As I began doing more business as a “Realtor”, I discovered how truly passionate I am about this industry, and I loved what I did for a living. A lifelong learner I am; I began networking, reading, taking classes, earning designations… basically doing whatever I could to learn as much as possible about this exciting industry. As a result, I earned my Broker’s license in 2009; I am also a Certified Relocation Expert and an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (A.B.R). I do Real Estate Full Time!
I also spend an enormous amount of time staying up to date on the latest real estate trends, especially when it comes to technology. It’s a “brave new world” out here, and I make it my personal mission to fine tune my marketing capabilities by keeping abreast of all the new and impactful ways that I can differentiate myself from my competition. I understand that in today’s changing market the key to success is knowing and understanding your market area as well as implementing and managing successful marketing strategies. In late 2009, my business branched off the short sale track and into the luxury home market. I find myself doing a little bit of both. I absolutely love the real estate industry. It is exciting, rewarding, and best of all …. challenging. I love a good challenge.
