The Woodlands Real Estate Agents

Having spent a significant period of time as a successful detail-oriented executive assistant, I made the transition to licensed Realtor in 2005 in Lansing, Michigan where I served both buyers and sellers, acted as property management for several multi-unit apartment complexes and privately owned properties, and assisted the broker/builder in the various tasks associated with bringing "new builds' to market. After relocating to Texas, I remained on the periphery of the industry as an unlicensed assistant in the field while also working in the educational system as I focused with my husband on raising a family. With our children grown, I am getting back into the game and am now able to devote myself fully to the needs and desires of my clients. I bring my considerable experience and attention to detail to bear on the task of ensuring my clients receive the quality, luxury experience they deserve in the pursuit of their real estate dreams.

My wife, Ashley, and I are the proud parents of 3 beautiful children ages 8, 10, and 20. I grew up in West Texas and my wife grew up overseas. We homeschool our kids, and by WE I really mean my wife. For us it is God, Family, then work. Homeschooling allows me to see my kids more with a busy schedule, and we love to travel and adventure during a lot of the non-peak seasons during the year. We hunt, fish, and love visiting Historical sites around Texas.



I began my real estate career in 2013 when I was hired by a national homebuilder. I worked my way up within the company, becoming a Vice President of Sales before starting my solo REALTOR® career. In all, I have been a part of more than 3000 transactions and $750 Million in sales volume. I love the real estate industry because of the different people I get to meet every day! I believe what Zig Ziglar said a long time ago," If you help enough people get what they want, then you can get what you want." I look forward to working with you!

I have had the privilege of living in the The Woodlands for over eight years. My family and I are transplants from Mississippi. We are planting roots and love this big city. There is nothing more rewarding than helping my clients' real estate dreams come true. Allow my knowledge of the market to work in your favor. I would love to help you with all your housing needs.

“It’s incredibly important to understand the emotion involved in selling or purchasing a home,” Tina Cardenas says. “When clients tell you what they need it’s vital to really listen. Every little detail matters.”

Originally from Clarkston, Michigan and a resident of The Woodlands and Spring for over 10 years, Tina knows whereof she speaks. A graduate of Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts in hospitality business, she interned in Maui in guest relations, and worked in fine dining after graduation. “My career in hospitality was an ideal platform for my real estate practice,” Tina says. “Customer service and extreme detail are my top priorities.”

Tina thrives on the excitement of helping her clients make a major change in their lives by selling or purchasing a home. “Top service, market knowledge and proficiency in the transaction process from start to finish make the transition much smoother for my clients. Seeing excitement on my clients’ faces lets me know I’ve done the job right,” she says.

Touring homes on the market is one of Tina’s pleasures, and one that keeps her up-to-date on available inventory. When not working, Tina stays active with her three children’s school and sports activities. She enjoys scuba diving, horseback riding, travel and “anything outdoors.”
