Geraldine Vasek

Global Realtor Associate at Keller Williams Memorial

I am a Houston-based real estate professional with over 15 years of experience supporting local and international clients through residential, luxury, commercial, and investment transactions. My career began in corporate banking, where I worked as an auditor, business underwriter, branch manager, and commercial real estate analyst — experience that continues to shape my analytical, negotiation, and strategic approach today.

I specialize in working with global clients, executives, medical professionals, and investors relocating to Houston or entering the U.S. market. I also collaborate with Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) partners worldwide to assist clients buying or selling properties abroad, ensuring local market expertise and regulatory compliance.

My practice serves clients at all price points and includes urban and suburban relocations, luxury properties, and commercial and multifamily investments. I hold multiple professional designations, including CIPS, ABR, CLHMS, ALHS, LUXE, MCNE, and CNE, and I am an active member of the Houston Association of Realtors Global Committee and Houston Relocation Professionals.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, I am committed to delivering clear strategy, global perspective, and a seamless experience for individuals, families, and investors navigating real estate across borders.
