Hello, I am Larae Blanche Benitez. My family and friends call me Blanche, but since I have two names, most people call me Larae. I came to the United States when I was nineteen years old to take care of my ailing father. At age 21, I lost him to liver cancer and from then on I have to be on my own. This has given me an opportunity to be independent, resourceful and resilient with God's help. I became a licensed real estate agent in 2017, and finished my masters in Business Administration in 2018.
My career in the real estate business started in California. I have been in the property management field for more than ten years. I have had extensive exposure to the housing market since I started working in the affordable non-profit field, then eventually moved to managing conventional and luxury apartments as well. It is my pleasure to be an instrument to fulfill a family's yearning - a roof over their head or their ultimate dream home. I am grateful to God for providing me with all the right set of circumstances to be of service to people.
I am blessed to be married to my husband, Victor, who is my big motivator and supporter. Together we have five kids, four boys and a girl. They are Zenas, Eliakim, Hezekia, Seth and Phoebe.
I am looking forward to being of service to you, may you be renting, buying or selling a home, I am just a phone call away.

As your Real Estate Consultant I bring a vast array of experience from other fields. After five yrs in Advertising and Marketing for The Houston Chronicle, my listings are designed to catch a home buyer's attention. Your home can be your best investment and as a former Banker with Texas Commerce Bank/Chase I make sure you get the best price as well as the best financing when you purchase. After working for a new home builder I chose to get my license. My biggest asset is the "personal attention" I give each and every client. After many years as an Executive Assistant I am professional, helpful, and have excellent communication skills. We work as a team and the final decision of pricing or selection is always yours!
