Maria Perez
Portfolio Manager
With a distinguished 12.5-year tenure in the United States Air Force, I bring a wealth of experience and dedication to every endeavor. Originally hailing from New Jersey, I have called Texas home since 2004. A certified paralegal, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Administration and an MBA, reflecting my commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.Beyond my professional achievements, I take immense pride in raising two remarkable adult children. Malik, an Army Veteran, and Tatianna, a graduate of Louisiana State University, & currently enrolled as a grad student at Sam Houston State University, exemplify our family’s legacy of service and academic excellence.
Real estate has always been more than just a profession to me; it’s a passion that continues to inspire and drive me every day.My journey in this dynamic industry began with property management, where I had the privilege of overseeing residential communities and ensuring that every tenant felt truly at home. For 3.5 years, I immersed myself in the intricate details of managing properties, from maintenance coordination to financial oversight, and most importantly, building meaningful relationships with residents. What sets my property management experience apart was the opportunity to work with short-term and corporate rentals. These unique facets of the industry taught me the importance of adaptability, attention to detail, and providing an exceptional level of service. Helping clients find temporary accommodations that met their needs, whether for business travel or personal transitions, gave me a deep appreciation for the impact a well-managed property can have on someone’s life.
