Returning home is often a deeply nostalgic journey, filled with a sense of belonging. For Marisa Florez, coming back to Pecos from Fort Worth after two decades away wasn’t just about revisiting her past—it was about shaping the future of her community through the power of real estate. Her journey in the world of real estate began in 2007, weaving through various towns and cities in West Texas and Fort Worth, leading her back to her roots in Pecos. “I joined the real estate industry simply because it brought me joy to be able to help families purchase homes,” she explains. “Seeing their excitement and joy in purchasing a home, guiding them through the process, that’s what I enjoy.”
As a REALTOR serving the West Texas region, Marisa’s dedication to professionalism and top-notch service sets her apart. “Number one is professionalism,” she asserts. “Honesty, integrity and professionalism are crucial. Our clients are making significant investments, and they deserve the best.” With a remarkable 80 to 85 percent referral business, her commitment to excellence speaks volumes. “Education and experience are also key,” she adds. “It’s crucial to stay up to date with laws, resources and the ever-changing real estate industry.”
