I've spent the last few years learning everything there is to know about real estate. From rentals to sales. I'm a realtor with a passion for family, generational wealth, and integrity. I've helped people find homes in the houston and surrounding areas.

Originally from Toronto, Canada, Christy Smith earned an Honors Bachelor of Commerce degree before starting work in automotive industry finance. After seven years, she then made the decision to invest in her family and spent seventeen years raising her three daughters full time. During this time, she also moved eight times throughout Canada, The U.S., and Asia in support of her husband's oil and gas career. After deciding to make The Woodlands, TX her home, Christy desired to fulfill a lifelong dream of working in the real estate industry. The time was right to pursue this career that would utilize her background in lending and finance and enable her to serve clients with a deep understanding of the many aspects of moving. Christy approaches her work with a compassionate desire to help people through each step of the process and beyond. Christy chose to join The Ray Larson Group after having worked with Ray in the purchase of her own home. Sharing the team's vision of working by referral and their commitment to integrity, knowledge, and outstanding customer service, Christy is supported by an experienced team of industry leaders. The Ray Larson Group has received many awards over their fifteen year history including the prestigious RE/MAX Circle of Legends Award, the RE/MAX Lifetime Achievement Award, the Top 20 RE/MAX Teams in Texas Award, The Houston Business Journal Top Residential Small Team Award, and the Texas Monthly Five Star Award Winner for 10+ years. In her free time, Christy enjoys tennis, playing in multiple local leagues, and working out at her gym, balanced by spending time with family, reading, and connecting with friends over a good cup of coffee.

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 Galveston and inner-loop neighborhoods in Houston. 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.

Anastasia and her husband Casey Gaido enjoy spending time with their two kids and chocolate lab Remi.
