77008 Real Estate Agents

Steve Ciapi has been helping Houstonians buy and sell their homes for so long, it's hard to remember what he did before real estate! But even when he wasn't an agent, he had his toe in the real estate pool; as the 12-year owner of a contractor business, and buying and selling real estate as investor – something he is still passionate about. When Steve earned his real estate license in 2000, his background led him naturally to work with renovators and builders. Since then, he has become active in all aspects of real estate sales; servicing builders, first time buyers, sellers, investors and relocation needs.

Steve has developed the reputation of a true inner area specialist, representing hundreds of buyers and sellers in the Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, Houston Heights, Rice Military (West End), Shady Acres, Montrose, and Timbergrove Manor neighborhoods.

Qualified Relocation Specialist helping relocate to all In town areas of Houston.

Houston and the surrounding area are great places to live and work, which is why I still choses to call it home. I was born and raised in Houston and love the diversity that the city offers and not to mention the food.

Being deeply rooted in Houston I chose to practice real estate in my hometown. My interest to do so came from my background in education as well working as a case worker for the State of Texas. When Sophia isn't in the office or volunteering, you will find her saltwater fishing, traveling and spending time with her family and friends.
