Anastasia Gaido fell in love with architecture and the art of dwelling as a young girl growing up in Eastern Europe. Summers were spent visiting her grandparents in the countryside, where beautiful white stone summer cottages kept company with centuries-old gold-domed cathedrals and vineyards. Home was not just a place to live, but a place that brought people together over a glass of wine, shared stories, and family.
Anastasia is committed to helping you find the home that fits your family's unique story, traditions, and values. A licensed real estate agent in the state of Texas, Anastasia specializes in luxury residential real estate focusing on inner-loop neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Additionally, Anastasia offers representation for those looking for a second home or investment property in Hawaii, one of the most diverse and fastest growing real estate markets in the region. Anastasia gained inside knowledge of the Hawaii Island market while working for the notable brokerage Hawaii Life, that has one of the highest rated shows on the HGTV channel.
Investing in a home can be stressful, whether it's your first, or an addition to a growing real estate portfolio. If you're selling your home, you want to find the right buyer. Anastasia's approach places the highest value on your peace of mind as the buyer or seller. It begins with listening to your distinct needs and maintaining an open line of communication. It follows with careful attention to detail and forward-thinking to anticipate and work around potential snags in the transaction process.
What sets Anastasia apart from other real estate agents? Her skill as a natural mediator and negotiator, coupled with her extensive background in the luxury food and beverage industry as part of the Gaido restauranteur family - a trusted name in Houston for over 100 years. Intuitive, personalized service is her practice. Building enduring relationships with her clients and their families is her ultimate goal.
As part of Nan and Company Properties, Anastasia has access and privilege to communicate with a worldwide network of 138 affiliates across 940 offices in 48 countries due to the exclusive affiliation with Christies International Real Estate. In addition she holds the ABR Designation, the Accredited Buyer Representative in the states of Texas and Hawaii to help her clients better navigate the market.
A proud Afton Oaks resident, Anastasia and her husband Casey enjoy spending time with their chocolate lab, Remi, supporting local restaurants, trips to the beach and Exploring Houston.

Now, Mike's passion is helping others find their home, too. From the best schools in each area to current local real estate trends, and from which neighborhoods have the best communities to how to market your home, Mike knows Houston real estate.
From the time he was playing West U Little League and working his way through the ranks of his local Boy Scout Troop (all the way to Eagle), Mike has always been active in his community. He's an active supporter of Amigos de las Americas, a nonprofit that organizes student volunteer abroad programs in Latin American countries, and has served on its Houston chapter board since 2013. He regularly enjoys volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House Houston and runs in its annual Run for the House 5K.

Real Estate is my passion. It gives me great joy to help my clients sell and purchase homes. Whether it is their dream home, first home, vacation home, retirement home, or a home to add to their investment portfolio...I treat the transaction with care because they are all important.
I';ve worked in real estate since 2007, initially as an accountant for large commercial real estate firms. I graduated from Rice University with an MBA focused in Real Estate in 2011 and that same year got my Real Estate license. In 2016 I received my broker's license and started DiverseCity Realty.
My team of agents and I service the entire Houston Metropolitan Area (from the Inner-Loop to Rosenberg to The Woodlands to Katy to Galveston and every pocket in between). I and a select few of my agents also serve clients in and around Austin. We KNOW real estate and we LOVE the cities we serve. We give honest recommendations, treat clients fairly, and go out of our way to meet our clients' needs.
I would love the pleasure of getting to know you and helping you sell or buy your home. I hope to become your trusted adviser for all things real estate.
