With over 18 years in luxury sales, Nina Tapias is not just a fly by night Realtor. She is a dedicated and focused professional committed to building a long term relationship with her clients.

For Nina, real estate sales are not just about closing the next deal. She strives to be a matchmaker for her clients and their next home. With over 15 years of experience as a luxury brand ambassador with Lamborghini, McLaren, Rolls-Royce, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar, and Bentley, Nina has learned what true luxury service is all about. She also understands the hopes of dreams of luxury consumers.

It was during her time working at the Mosaic on Hermann Park, a luxury high-rise condominium development, that this top producing Broker, decided to put her contract-to-closing experience to work and pursue her Realtor's license. Fast-forward eleven years, and she has not only achieved incredible success, but she now has her own full-service, boutique real estate firm, HTX Living, LLC. She was recognized by the Houston Association of Realtors as a Top 20 Under 40 Rising Star, and her success as an agent has translated to big accomplishments with her team as well. While at KW Memorial for almost 5 years, her team was honored for 1st place in gross closed income and 2nd place for both listing volume and closed units. As a Baylor University graduate, she smartly carved a unique niche for herself as an estate property sales expert early in her career. After working as a licensed assistant for a top producer at Martha Turner Properties, she built strong relationships with probate and estate attorneys, certified public accountants and financial advisers by billing herself as the "Queen of Probate." Doing so allowed her to gain footing in the more luxury-type neighborhoods early on. "Estate listings aren't always the nicest or prettiest, but they typically sell the quickest," she explains, adding that this experience established her credibility with real estate investors. It is one of the driving forces behind her decision to start her very own brokerage. After gaining some knowledge as a Broker Associate at a smaller firm called Tammy Bateman Properties, Jessica decided to make her final move with her team and open HTX Living. The reputation that she and her colleagues have established precedes them and she believes this is because they closely monitor contractual deadlines, skillfully manage expectations and remain in close communication, even executing after the transaction.

Hello, my name is Fran Marino. I am a full time licensed real estate professional. I was born and reared in Houston Texas and a residence of the same subdivision for many years. I look forward to working with you on all of your real estate needs. After all “Nobody Knows the areas better than a Lifetime Houstonian Resident & Realtor®”.

I am a South Texas State College of Law Graduate. I came into the real estate profession with a legal background for a large law firm here in Houston. My extensive career as a paralegal was very rewarding and taught me many things that I believe I have benefited from in the real estate industry.

Being a multi-million dollar producer I had more than five million dollars in listings; I know firsthand the emotions and stress involved with the home buying/selling process. That is why I always take a proactive approach to ease the tension of the whole process, by assessing your needs up front so it will enable me to not only meet but to exceed your expectations.

I have sold property in Austin, College Station and out of State through preferred Brokers that I work with & interviewed thoroughly before placing my client into their hands. I also have acquired National and International Investors.

I hold the nationally recognized Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) designation. The GRI designation signifies the graduate has completed an advanced education program in specialized subjects such as legal issues, finance, marketing, real estate investments, professional standards and technology tools. Less than 10 percent of the Texas Association of Realtors holds the GRI designation.
