This past week, I had the honor of receiving a 2026 Houston Business Journal Residential Real Estate Award, recognizing me, Nancy Almodovar, as the number two luxury real estate agent in Houston, Texas. When the announcer called my name and described my average sales price of $4.22 million as extraordinary, I was instantly proud and grateful for my team and clients who helped me reach this milestone.
This award ceremony, put on by the Houston Business Journal, celebrated the professionals shaping the future of Houston's housing market. I was privileged to stand in a room surrounded by some of the most talented and successful people in the luxury real estate industry in Houston.
I am forever appreciative of every client who trusted me with one of the most significant decisions of their life, every agent on my team who shows up and raises the standard every single day, and a city that has given me more than I could have ever imagined when I started growing my career twenty years ago.
What Twenty Years as a Houston Luxury Real Estate Agent Looks Like
I started Nan & Company Properties because I believed Houston deserved a luxury real estate brokerage that was truly its own, not a franchise imported from somewhere else, not a satellite office following someone else's playbook. A firm built here, owned here, and run by someone who loves this city the way I do.
An average sales price of $4.22 million is not just a number to me. It is a reflection of twenty years of learning the Houston real estate market, building lasting relationships, and delivering exceptional results for the buyers and sellers who trusted me with their most important financial decisions. Beyond the numbers and the negotiations, these are the homes where real life happens, where families grow, children are raised, and the moments people remember most will live forever.
As a top-ranked Houston realtor serving River Oaks, Memorial, Tanglewood, West University, the Heights, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Galveston Island, I bring unmatched local expertise to every transaction.
Why the Brokerage Behind the Agent Matters
While I am extremely proud of my personal ranking as a top luxury real estate agent in Houston, what I am most proud of is what I have built around me. Because when you work with me, you are not just working with one agent, you are working with Nan & Company Properties, Houston's largest independent luxury real estate brokerage, backed by a team and quality you cannot find anywhere else.
We are not a franchise or a national brand with a Houston office. We are an independent Houston luxury real estate firm built from the ground up in this city, with:
-
220+ agents serving greater Houston
-
Over $1 billion in closed sales
-
Multiple offices covering the Heights, The Woodlands, and Galveston Island
-
The only fully independent luxury brokerage on the Houston Business Journal's Top 25 list in 2026
Every strategy we execute is designed specifically for the Houston real estate market, not borrowed from a national playbook built somewhere else. Being the only fully independent luxury brokerage on the Houston Business Journal's Top 25 list is something I am enormously proud of. It means we are competing with national franchises and corporate giants and winning, not because we have more offices or more name recognition, but because we are better at what we do in this specific market than anyone else.
Luxury Is in Everything We Do at Nan & Company Properties
At Nan & Company Properties, luxury is not a division, it is the entire business, and it has been since day one. Every agent we bring on, every marketing strategy we develop, every partnership we form is designed around the standard that Houston's most discerning buyers and sellers deserve.
That standard is what earned this 2026 Houston Business Journal ranking. And it is the standard I hold myself and every person on this team to every single day, because our clients deserve nothing less.
A Message to Every Client Who Has Trusted Houston's Top Luxury Realtor
If you have ever bought or sold with Nan & Company Properties or with me personally, I want you to know that this ranking belongs to you too. You trusted us with something important, and we do not take that lightly.
And to the clients who are still thinking about making their next move, whether you are buying, selling, or investing in Houston luxury real estate, I want you to know that the same standard that earned this recognition is the standard you will experience from the very first conversation.
