Houston – Portugal

Where It All Begin...

ORIGIN OF THE TEAM NAME

I’m a Portuguese native with the sea running through my veins! Nothing beats growing up on its majestic beaches, and even today it remains one of my favorite places. The sun’s warmth radiates joy and happiness throughout- truly magical moments that cannot be replaced or forgotten!
 
Taking inspiration from the waves of sunshine and warm vibes found near coastal properties, we wanted to bring that feeling into our real estate services – where your needs are met with care and expertise. From day one, you’ll be surrounded by supportive professionals who strive for nothing but success!
 
We want everyone who works with us to feel the sunshine, happiness, and positivity that comes with buying a property no matter where they are in the world. And experience the breezy process of selling a home with us.

OUR LOGO:

The decision to choose the monstera deliciosa as my company logo was an easy one. This plant represents growth, upward energy, and abundance – all of which are values that guide me. This plant is often used in feng shui to help bring these positive energies into space. And that is what we do! We bring positive energy into a space, situation, and people’s lives.

I was looking for a logo representing my commitment to growth and success as an entrepreneur, team leader, and member of our communities, and the monstera deliciosa was a perfect choice.

Meet Claudia

Founder

What an honor it is to create The Palm Leaf Realty Group! It all started with one woman with a dream to help others find their dream home, no matter where it was in the world. It’s a different style of real estate — without frontiers and based on real relationships that last a lifetime and to be the real estate advisor who is there for their clients long after a transaction is over — no matter the price point, no matter where the client came from, no matter what language they speak and no matter their familial status. That woman is me. I am an avid traveler and I am in love with diversity, so I am right at home in Houston. My goal is to help people find a place to grow, build long-lasting memories, and, more than anything, build wealth for themselves and those they love.

Growing up in Portugal, I have always been captivated by the warm, sunny lifestyle. When I left my home country to move abroad to The Netherlands, I fell deeply in love with it. Still, I never forgot that special warmth of the Mediterranean climate. After living in The Netherlands for almost ten years, I met my husband and moved to sunny and warm Houston, Texas. And here, I started my real estate career in 2016.

After joining the real estate industry, I quickly became known as someone who could help people find their dream homes and who was reliable and hardworking. My expertise allowed me to provide services for both selling and buying property – whether it be a vacation getaway or retirement plan!

Whether my clients were looking for a tropical, modern home in Costa Rica or a villa in Portugal, a ranch in Texas, or a beach house in Florida, I helped them find the perfect property through my nationwide and global network. I am so excited to help people find their perfect homes. After years of being an agent in the housing market, I know how important it is for homeowners and sellers alike to know that they are working with someone who can guide them through every step of the often complicated real estate process – because there’s a lot at stake!

And to better serve my growing base of clients and make sure everyone gets excellent service, I decided to expand and start a team. Very exciting times ahead for sure!

I want you to know that although I might have changed the image, team name, and logo, my mission has only expanded, not changed. The Palm Leaf Realty Group will help buyers and sellers nationwide and worldwide. As a daughter of a home builder, born and raised in Portugal, came my desire to help people find their dream homes anywhere in the world, as did my passion and commitment to hard work and going above and beyond for my clients — that is still our core mission.

I had the pleasure to meet Claudia from Palm Leaf Realty Group on her visit to Portugal. During our cooperation, she was highly professional, but also friendly and kind. I value a lot her deep knowledge of the international Real Estate Market. As she sells homes in the USA and Portugal, she can compare the investment opportunities and advice what will work best for you. As I don't speak Portuguese well, I also appreciated her perfect English. Overall the experience was above my expectations, and I highly recommend working with her to anyone looking to invest in Real Estate.

First time buyer coming from Europe, Claudia Da Silva helped to navigate me through all the procedural steps that are needed (and there are many 🙈) to successfully end up with a place of my own. Her expertise, network, and persistence (and patience) were essential to make this happen.

I had a great opportunity to work with Claudia to buy my first home. She was very professional, always available to answer any of our questions or concerns, clearly explained all the steps and procedures, and made sure that we are protected at each step! She tries to help you not only as your agent but as your friend and guides you thoroughly during the whole process. Thank you very much, Claudia!

Claudia has been of so much help during the search of my first home. We checked so many different houses and she was as always so patient and giving me her point of view and advice, which was of so much help. Claudia is a very friendly and professional realtor, who you can trust will help you all the way! She speaks very fluent Spanish, which was so helpful for my parents questions. I'm so thankful for being able to find such a great realtor and I highly recommend her to anyone.

I’ve had the pleasure and honor to be working with Claudia to find my dream home. She has been nothing but professional, responsive and detailed oriented to n a professional level. On the humanity level, she has been like a sister to me, getting me through the most difficult times that I had encountered through the process of buying a home. She is very experienced on her field, knows the answer to every question, and if she doesn’t, she makes sure that she will find out for you. Most of all, she has patience. I got none, so for me she was a God send. I would have a home today if it wouldn’t be for Claudia. I am honored to have know her and I consider her my close friend. Please be confident that if you’re lucky enough to know her, she will find your dream home.

Claudia helped us purchase our home in Texas and we could not be more thankful for her! Since we live out of state, that process can be a little difficult, but she stood beside us the whole way and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. There were a few hurdles to overcome (none caused by her) and she fought for us and made sure we were able to close on our house. We are so thankful for Claudia and all of her hard work. You can tell that she truly has a passion for what she does. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone that is looking to purchase a home! She is definitely someone that you want on your side!!
