Cypress Real Estate Agents

I have been an active member of Houston community for over ten years now, and I'm so excited to be turning that local focus toward real estate. My background in investment offers the perfect opportunity to meld my passion for real estate with my commitment to Houston and related areas residents. With a passion for serving the Houston and related areas, I'm ready to help with your homebuying and selling needs. As a proud member of the EXP brokerage family, I carry the values of hard work, integrity, and outstanding client service into everything I do.

I have lived in the Houston area since 1976 with the exception of a 3 year leave to live in Anchorage Alaska. We have lived in Kingwood, Humble, Houston, Copperfield area, Cypress and now Magnolia. I have many ties to Houston and surrounding communities and love all that it has to offer. I have experience with foreclosed properties, HUD Homes, new construction (neighborhood & custom). There is more to owning a home than coming up with enough money for down payment and closing costs; there are mortgage payments, insurance premiums, property taxes and general home maintenance costs. All these expenses factor into overall homeownership affordability; let me help you navigate through all.  I love this business and how it has changed over the years.  Let me work hard to earn your business and trust. Please give me a call to discuss what I can do for you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Texas has been my Home-Sweet-Home since 2007 when I was welcomed as a student at the University of Houston from Burkina Faso . I since fell in love with the City of Houston. Those who met for the first time will describe me as charismatic, hospitable, hardworking and trustworthy. My friends will add that Carine loves her Christian Catholic Faith and love simple moments of sharing a good coffee. My family will say of me that I am dependable, a book worm and loving.





After completing my ESL classes at UH on my arrival, I pursued an education in Hospitality Management through which I was blessed with a multi level experience type of service and geared me to be successful working with people. I proudly served the Hilton Hotel at UH, Holly Hall Retirement Community Dining Services. Taking on the team management of 30+employees at Granduca Hotel for 4 years and later the Brazos Presbyterians Homes 5 years, I felt confident to take on a journey of being a business owner.


With my husband's support, I opened and ran Dining Staff,LLC to serve the staffing needs of the hospitality business operations. I served proudly the Houston Country Club, The River Oaks Country Club, the Hallmark, BPHI,The Bell Tower, and local caterers. I grew resilience and appreciation in team work more than ever.
