Houston, TX (PRWEB) April 1, 2010 — Houston residential real estate professionals, Yvonna Chavez and Maria Fields have launched Casa Latino North Houston, a real estate firm dedicated to serving multicultural homebuyers and home sellers with concentration on the Hispanic market. The company’s offices are located at 505 North Sam Houston Parkway East and officially opened March 1, 2010.

“Casa Latino North Houston’s mission is to provide exemplary service to Hispanic, multicultural, and underserved homebuyers and sellers with an emphasis on educating and equipping our customers to achieve the dream of home ownership,” explained Ms. Chavez. “Although we serve everyone regardless of their heritage or ethnicity, Casa Latino is the first national franchise designed to serve the unique needs of the Hispanic and multicultural homebuyer market.”

Ms. Fields emphasized that Casa Latino North Houston offers more than just traditional real estate services. “Our primary interest is not just to represent our clients in a real estate transaction,” she said. “Our goal is to become their trusted real estate advisors, always keeping the best interests of each customer as our main objective. We are striving for on-going, long-term relationships.”

Both Chavez and Fields are seasoned real estate professionals with extensive experience assisting multicultural customers. Chavez noted that her years as a military wife living in various parts of the United States as well as two foreign countries helped prepare her for her career as a Realtor. “The constant process of moving every few years, especially with young children, has helped me appreciate the advantages of home ownership and exposed me to every aspect of residential real estate”.

Prior to opening Casa Latino North Houston, Chavez had been a successful Realtor in the Houston market with a background in marketing and advertising sales. She served as 2008 president of NAHREP (National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals) and received the Houston Chapter’s Presidential Award for her accomplishments. She has also been president of the Sales & Marketing Council (SMC) of the Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) and was named SMC’s Associate of the Year at the association’s annual PRISM (Professional Results in Sales & Marketing) Awards ceremony. Additionally, Chavez holds the Texas Affordable Housing Specialist designation from the Texas Association of Realtors and the Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification presented by the National Association of Realtors.

“My favorite part of real estate is helping buyers and investors find and negotiate the purchase or sale of their new home or properties,” Chavez said, “and I get immense satisfaction assisting first-time homebuyers.”

A native of the Rio Grande Valley, Fields moved to Houston in 1979, earned her real estate license and began her career with Keller Williams in Kingwood. She has extensive experience in investment properties, rehabilitating single-family homes, condominiums, country homes, acreage, waterfront properties and leases

Christine Garza Rayburn of Rayburn and Associates serves as broker for Casa Latino North Houston.

Casa Latino North Houston is one of more than 75 Casa Latino Franchises nationwide with locations in Canada, Puerto Rico and several countries on South and Central America. Casa Latino was created in 2005 based on the premise that Hispanic homebuyers and sellers have unique needs due to cultural differences and lifestyles. While the company serves everyone regardless of heritage, the company’s model is designed to provide superior service to a multicultural market.

Casa Latino North Houston is a member of the Houston Association of Realtors, the Texas Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, the Women’s Council of Realtors, and NAHREP, the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals.

Casa Latino Real Estate Expands To Italy

Posted on March 19, 2010 by casalatino| Leave a comment

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) 11, January 2010 – After a successful launch into Columbia and Costa Rica, Casa Latino Franchise Corporation, the fastest growing real estate brand in the U.S., proudly announces its expansion into Italy. 

 A Master Franchise Agreement has been signed with Master Franchisor, Italico Srl, to proceed with the development of the Casa Latino brand in Italy.  Italico Srl consists of several skilled professionals whose expertise ranges from international brand strategy to the development of franchising systems.  Currently assisting one of the leading European fashion companies in strategic planning and development, the principals of Italico Srl feel they are ready to successfully develop the Casa Latino brand in their home country. 

From San Benedetto del Tronto, Italy, Mr. Eros Spinozzi, President of Italico Srl, said; “During the year 2008 we had the opportunity to understand the brand position of Casa Latino and at the same time to observe the growing success of the franchise model during a period of huge downturn.  We were introduced to this real estate brand by Mr. Sonny Buoncervello, a long time family friend that happened to be one of the pioneers of modern real estate business.  We’ve had an extensive business relationship with Sonny through his Florida Referral Network project.  Thanks to this experience it was easy for us to deeply understand the great potential of Casa Latino.” In addition, Mr. Maurilio Migliorati, Chairman of Italico Srl added; “Last year the number of second homes abroad purchased by Italians surpassed the number of second homes purchased in the domestic market.  In 2009, the total investment by Italians in second homes abroad amounts to more than 4 billion Euros and the USA market accounts for nearly 30% of homes purchased abroad, compared to 7% in 2004.  This is why we feel Casa Latino is the right answer to serve the Italy market.”

Mr. Eros Spinozzi is a graduate of the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management in Italy and left Italy for 10 years to manage a successful import/export business in the U.S.  In 2004, he returned to Italy where he and business partner, Maurilio Migliorati, founded Italico Srl.

Mr. Maurilio Migliorati is a graduate of Bocconi with a degree in Business Strategy.  Mr. Migliorati is a former executive in the fashion and high-tech industries in Italy and is now Chairman of Italico Srl. 

Casa Latino Franchise Corporation President, Joe La Rosa commented; “We began a successful journey to bridge the gap between the U.S. real estate market and South American real estate markets in 2009 and now look forward to working with Italica Srl to bridge the gap across the Atlantic in 2010.  I have a great deal of faith in Mr. Spinozzi and Mr. Migliorati to grow the Casa Latino brand in Italy and consider both gentlemen to be a superior addition to the Casa Latino family.”
