5-Star Rated Brokerage transitions to Realty of America
The Circa Houston Group, now powered by Realty of America (ROA), is thrilled to embrace this new chapter with the same unwavering commitment to excellence that has fueled our success. Our brokerage had grown over 150% at one point, thanks to clients who trust that Circa Agents uphold the highest standards in the industry. Recognized as a “Neighborhood Favorite” by third-party reviewers and consistently rated 5 stars on HAR.com and Realtor.com, our dedication to delivering exceptional service remains as steadfast as ever.
We understand that when it comes time to buy or sell a home, you have options—whether it’s the glossy, online “start-up” brokerages with big promises and little substance, or a well-meaning family friend with “some” real estate experience. With the Circa Houston Group, we bring you more than just promises; we carry forward a legacy of proven results, deep industry expertise, and a personalized approach that you can trust.
Our values aligned seamlessly with Realty of America, and through this partnership with ROA, we’re excited to offer even more resources and enhanced support to guide you confidently through Houston’s dynamic real estate markets.

Being represented by the Circa Real Estate team has been one of the most rewarding real estate interactions that I have ever experienced. My Circa Agent, Regie Ahmad, went above and beyond to thoroughly research the restrictions on the property, to prepare detailed market comps, and to create the most impressive listing.
I did not think it was possible to have my home under contract in less than 30 days, and an accepted contingency offer on a second house in even less time, but I clearly underestimated the capabilities of your team. Thank you all for turning a process that is often stressful and complicated into something that was rewarding and pleasant. Circa Real Estate is an asset to the community, it has my highest recommendations.

Step 1: Meet with your
Circa Real Estate Agent
Your Circa Agent will meet you in person to discuss your goals for selling your home, walkthrough the home to identify ways to best prepare it for a sale, and explain exactly what you can expect throughout the process.
Step 2: Determine Pricing
& Custom Marketing Plan
Every home is different, and so every marketing plan should be different, as well. Your Circa Agent will work with you to determine the most advantageous price at which to list your home, and how best to market your home based on the home’s assets, neighborhood, community, target audience, and more.
The Importance of Getting The List Price Right
Working With An Honest Agent
Remember, determining the best price to list your home is critical! If you list your home at too high a price, it will sit on the market too long and miss the most advantageous window (the 2-5 week hot spot for offers).
Be wary of other agents that over-promise at an attempt to win your bid. Circa Agents are trained and coached in pricing strategies that will be best for getting your home from Listed to Sold, at the highest potential price.
Step 3: Staging and
Photography
Your Circa Agent will meet you in person to discuss your goals for selling your home, walkthrough the home to identify ways to best prepare it for a sale, and explain exactly what you can expect throughout the process.
Step 4: Holding Open Houses
and Digital Marketing
Your marketing plan will be unique to your schedule and listing needs, but most plans include a schedule for holding public Open Houses, private Broker Open Houses for other real estate agents in the Realtor® community, and a digital marketing campaign.
You still stay updated through the entire process with feedback, input, and market analysis from your Circa Real Estate Agent!
Keeping It Local Since 2011
Houston’s Community-Focused Real Estate Group
Since our founding, Circa Real Estate, now the Circa Houston Group has proudly chosen to stay independent and locally owned. Now powered by Realty of America (ROA), we are embracing this exciting new chapter while staying true to our roots in the Houston community.
Approached time and time again in the past by larger, international brokerages with merger opportunities, it wasn’t until owner Mary Wassef connected with Realty of America that she found a partner whose values truly aligned with our own. With Realty of America, she saw the possibility of growth without compromising our commitment to Houstonians and clients-alike. Our dedication to providing genuine service, accountability, and customized marketing strategies tailored for each client remains at the forefront of everything we do—and ROA empowers us to uphold and enhance that standard. Simply put, we’re growing with purpose, staying rooted in the community we love.
Being local means more than just a business location—it means investing in the people and places that make Houston unique. The Circa Houston Group actively supports our community by donating to neighborhood schools, participating in Chamber and neighborhood organizations, and celebrating Houston’s rich culture. Our agents receive hands-on guidance from a Houston-based leader, and our clients benefit from working with real local experts who understand the heart of this city. Through our partnership with ROA, we’re equipped with even more resources to serve you while keeping our commitment to Houston strong.
At the end of the day, we don’t answer to anyone but our clients.
Step 5: Accepting Offers
& Negotiations
When the offers start to come in, your Circa Real Estate Agent is trained to negotiate on behalf of your best interests and provide clear Pros and Cons for each offer. Back-up offers are often accepted as well. The work doesn’t stop there—your Circa Agent will work through every detail, ensuring inspections, paperwork, and other needs are taken care of, even when it should be the other party’s responsibility to ensure something is taken care of. No stone goes unturned!
Step 6: Closing Table
& Beyond
Once your Circa Agent has worked through the paperwork, negotiations, and other critical details, it’s time to close! Your Circa Agent will be with you at the closing table to represent you and answer any questions you have. What’s more, Circa offers client-exclusive events, such as the Karbach Crawfish Boil, Pre-White Linen Night Party, Christmas Party With Santa, and more. We remain connect as a continuous resource for you in all things real estate, from contractor referrals to just a friend in town when you want to see new local art, network with neighbors, and have a cold drink! We stay local and available to best serve you, long after the Closing Table.
