Born and raised in Houston, Adriana Longoria Banks has real estate, building and construction in her blood. Inspired and influenced by her grandfather, Eduardo Longoria, who started several banks in Mexico, Adriana embodies the compassion and business savvy that her grandfather brought to his work.

Above all, she strives to build a relationship with every client. She is also multi-lingual, fluent in English and Spanish (she is half Mexican).

Before becoming a real estate agent, Adriana held several jobs which prepared her for helping clients buy and sell homes. She worked as a certified land-man for two years for an oil and gas company, where she fostered her love of land. Eventually, she started a public relations department at that company, and later worked as a fund-raiser. Positions which helped her refine her people, sales, and business skills.
