I had a wonderful experience throughout the whole process. Allyza Trevino was wonderful throughout every step of the way. Each time I had a question or concern, she was one text or call away, no matter what day or time it was.

Deborah was an amazing help during our entire journey! She was very patient and more than willing to show us as many properties as possible until we found the one! She also has followed up with us even after closing on our house to make sure everything goes smoothly and we learn the ropes of how to use our warranty/ insurance! Lovely friendly energy she has and is such a fun ball on energy to work with! ❤️🙌

Meet Our Team

Born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, I’ve always been drawn to helping others - whether during my years as a nursing student or now as a real estate agent serving my community. While my path changed, my purpose never did: I’m still guiding people through some of the biggest moments in their lives. To me, real estate is personal. It’s more than buying and selling houses; it’s about understanding people’s dreams, goals, and life changes, and helping them take the next big step with confidence. I believe in making the journey seamless, stress-free, and rewarding by providing the right guidance, resources, and support every step of the way.

My clients know me for truly listening to their needs, explaining the process clearly, and advocating for their best interests from start to finish. Whether you’re a first-time home buyer, upgrading to your forever home, selling your property, or investing in the RGV market, I combine deep local expertise with modern marketing strategies - including high-impact social media content, engaging video tours, and targeted campaigns - to connect people with the right home or the right buyer. Through my social media outreach, I’ve also been able to connect with and assist out-of-state buyers in making their big move to the Rio Grande Valley, managing every detail so they feel confident from miles away.

 

My mission is simple: to help you feel supported, informed, and confident in every decision you make. Because at the end of the day, this business is about more than houses - it’s about people, it's about you, and I’m here to put you first.

I often say I’m not in the business of real estate, but in the business of making dreams come true. That doesn’t mean finding houses for a buyer or getting the highest amount of money for the seller. Not exclusively, at least. It’s much more than that: it’s caring for their needs, understanding their anxieties, predicting potential pitfalls and basically looking for ways to make the uncertain process of buying or selling a house not only easier, but more enjoyable. In the end, my goal as a Real Estate Agent is to facilitate things for my clients turning a lengthy and complex transaction into a pleasing memory.Sure, my marketing abilities come in handy – especially in this ever-changing world with new digital trends popping up daily – but my main strength is my credibility. I’ve been working hard on this asset ever since I got my license. I’m constantly studying the market because when my client asks me something I have to have the correct response at the tip of my tongue. I have not only a fiduciary responsibility to my client but also a moral one. So, transparency is really important in my book because, to me, Real Estate is not only about properties and money. It’s about people. I never take for granted the fact that people are trusting me not with their house or apartment; but their home. I take that responsibility seriously and put on a (fair) fight for them.Over time I have earned the respect and recognition of this community that I love so much. Together with my family, that’s my most prized possession. A dream come true. Remember I said I was in the business of making dreams come true? Well, I don’t intend on waking up from this one. So you can count on me to make your dream come true because by doing so I'll be living a dream of my own. Let’s dream together!
My journey in real estate started long before I became a licensed agent. Growing up around property management and real estate investing through my family has helped me gain hands-on experience early on. Working in my family business has given me a strong foundation and a unique perspective that not many agents have when becoming a new agent. From managing rentals and coordinating repairs to marketing properties and working directly with tenants, I developed the real world skills that laid the foundation for my career as a real estate professional. 
 
What sets me apart from other real estate agents is my unique perspective, I understand what local buyers, renters, and sellers are really looking for, and I know how to position a property to attract serious attention and deliver results. I believe in being upfront, communicative, and fully present for my clients from beginning to end. I make it a priority to keep my clients informed, confident, and supported every step of the way! 
 
Real estate is deeply personal, and it deserves an agent who treats it that way. That means more than just putting a sign in the yard or opening properties. It means having someone who understands your goals, advocates for your best interests and follows through.
 
Your goals, My mission, Let's make it happen!
