Prior to becoming a REALTOR®, I worked as a sales & marketing professional in the sports and entertainment industry. I have a strong work ethic and strive to provide each of my clients with exceptional customer service. As a Buyer Specialist, I enjoy the opportunity to become acquainted with so many unique people and help them achieve their goals. My responsibility and commitment to my clients ensures that they will be informed and relaxed in what can be a stressful time.

I am a native Texan, a graduate of Texas A&M University, and a member of Delta Gamma. Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my husband, playing volleyball and golf, watching baseball and football, and crafting.

I come from a sales and marketing background, working with C-level clients from nonprofit branding to business development in oil and gas, and have successfully negotiated contracts to get the best deals for my clients. Experience has taught me that no obstacle is too great and no need is too small. Matched with my passion for people and love for the community, I am a champion of your goal to have a place to call home. As your dedicated Realtor®, my goals are simple – to listen to your needs and exceed your expectations. I look forward to partnering with you to achieve your real estate goals!

I am a transplant to Houston from Hampton, Georgia, and I live by the adage “I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could.” My passion for people, love for Texas, and love for my community mirrors that of The Loken Group. As a Buyer’s Agent, my goal is to find you the perfect home through the resources and dedication of our team. I strive to be a partner and trusted advisor for you by providing top notch service and dedication. When I am not meeting the needs of home seekers, I am spending time with my beautiful wife, building furniture, and enjoying the sunshine.

Leann Acuña

REALTOR® • Buyer Specialist

As a Katy Texas native and University of Texas at San Antonio graduate, I’m thrilled to be back home in Houston! While in San Antonio, I worked with, and learned from, one of the top Keller Williams luxury teams and fell in love with the industry.

I have a passion for helping people and strive to provide my clients with a joyful and memorable home-shopping experience, all while maintaining exceptional communication throughout the process. I love what I do and will find my clients the home that matches their criteria and exceeds their expectations!

In my spare time, if I’m not outside playing with my puppy or hiking with my family, you can find me baking, browsing Pinterest, or volunteering with my sorority’s Alumnae chapter.

Chris Nicolaou

REALTOR® • Buyer Specialist

My 18 years of experience in business leadership spans the consulting, aerospace, law, energy, general contracting, insurance and medical industries and government, in which I have held roles responsible for operations, business development, systems development/integration, account management, vendor management and product development. I have a proven track record of success in developing, and managing large complex systems as well as selling technical products and services in B2B and B2C business models within the SME sector. I have led teams ranging from 10 to 150 members of technology and sales professionals with a solutions based philosophy that companies, large and small, found buy-in very easy. That solutions based approach to business has consistently been the deciding factor in winning new business and developing relationships with existing clients. It is the same philosophy that I’m bringing in to the real estate business. That philosophy is, in fact, the reason I joined The Loken Group. The prevailing blueprint for success at The Loken Group is a solutions based approach that integrates the latest technologies, market research and business strategies. This enables us to provide you with exceptional customer service, but most importantly, we listen, and that means we find solutions that are tailored to you.
