In 2021, I watched Robert Reffkin’s MasterClass and learned about his story, his beginnings in real estate, and the road that eventually led him to build Compass.

Something about it really touched me. As a single mom building my own career in real estate, so much of what he shared resonated with me that I felt compelled to send him a message.

I knew he would probably never see it. 😂 But honestly, I think the message was just as much for me as it was for him.

A month later, once done with the masterclass, I sent another one:

“I don’t know when or how, but one day I will be working with you.” 🙏🏻

The funny part? At the time, I was genuinely happy at my brokerage. When I moved from New York, that company became so much more than a place of work, it became my family. I had absolutely no plans to ever leave. However, I had no idea what that sentence would eventually mean.

Fast-forward 5 years.

Last week, I went back to that old DM and replied:

“Guess what!!! Today is the day! I’ve joined Compass 🙌”

And exactly one week later, on a random Thursday, I found myself standing in an elevator telling Robert my story in person.

Life really is wild. ✨

Was Compass somehow part of the plan all along and I just couldn’t see it yet? I don’t know. But moments like this remind me how unpredictable life can be and how powerful it is to dream something before you have any idea how it could possibly happen.

I’m incredibly grateful for this new chapter, for the team I’ve joined, for all the familiar faces and former coworkers I’ve already gotten to reconnect with, and for everything I’m learning about what Robert is doing not only for Compass, but for the real estate industry as a whole.

It has made this decision feel even more meaningful.

Robert, five years later… I’m happy to finally be here. 🙏🏻✨

And apparently, I really meant it when I said, “I don’t know when or how.” 😂

Dream big. Sometimes the “how” shows up years later without you even noticing it. Also send the message whether they read it or not let it be a reminder note to self! because you just never know…

God is good!

Great connecting with Kuno Becker and hearing about everything he’s building beyond the screen. One thing we completely agree on: build your personal brand. Companies and titles may change, but your name, your reputation, and the community you build go with you everywhere.

Love seeing him use his platform not only as an actor, but to support immigrants, foundations, and projects that will leave a real legacy.

Always proud to see Latinos doing big things, giving back, and opening doors for others 🫶 Kuno Becker thank you for thinking outside the box!

Plot twist! New season

Plot twist… I moved. 🖤

Not houses this time brokerages.

I’m excited to officially announce that I’ve moved my real estate business to Compass and joined The Coselli Group. I’m so happy to be part of this incredible group and excited for everything ahead.

New home. Same Joana. Same heart, same hustle, and the same commitment to my clients, now with an even bigger vision for what comes next.

I’m incredibly grateful for every client, friend, and person who has trusted me throughout every chapter of this journey. And I’m equally grateful for the amazing agents I’ve met along the way. One of the things I love most about this business is that brokerages may change, but genuine relationships don’t. Your support, encouragement, referrals, and friendships have meant more to me than you know. 🤍

I’m excited for this new chapter with Compass and The Coselli Group, and I look forward to continuing to serve this city I love selling Houston, one transaction and one relationship at a time. 🏡✨

White Rock Lake Trail is officially SOLD, and this closing means more than words can express.🫶

This was a journey, one filled with unexpected moments, challenges, and so much heart. I came in as the second agent, but I trusted my process, my work, and my commitment to getting it sold. Today, we are closed and funded!

Today, I celebrate.
I celebrate my clients stepping into their next beautiful chapter.
I celebrate the new buyers who now get to fill this home with love, laughter, and memories of their own.

This home is so special not just because it’s stunning, but because of the stories, the energy, and the lives it’s touched.

I’m honored to have been part of its journey.
Here’s to new beginnings for everyone involved. 🤍✨

Most people just see the picture.
But what you don’t see is the grind behind it—
the late nights, the early mornings, the setbacks that fuel me on the daily basis.

I own my story.
I compete with only one person: yesterday’s me.
No excuses. No shortcuts. No handouts.
Just relentless focus on becoming better every single day! To make my lil man proud of his momma 🫶🥰
