Get to Know Me
You might say that Joao C. Correa has a personality that is custom built for Real Estate. After moving to Miami from Brazil as a kid, Joao got his start in sales at the tender age of 16 selling a variety of products and most important early on developing a direct consumer experience. In 2001, Joao began a career in the mortgage business, where he quickly became a respected name in the industry, eventually opening his own company in 2004. When Joao moved to Texas in 2013, his brother-in-law, who was in real estate sales, convinced Joao it would be a perfect fit for him--and he was right. With a reputation for integrity, hard work, and a determination for offering his clients an unsurpassed level of customer service, Joao has become a top-producing agent in Houston. After joining the Houston New Home Team in 2013, he has been awarded for top commission achievements and his entire team won the top 20 awards by the Houston Business Journal and RE/MAX of Texas in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. John’s background in mortgages has been a definite advantage for his clients. “I know how to ask the right questions, quickly examine the client's current financial situation and I know what direction to point them in to prepare them to purchase a home, which is not something a lot of agents can offer.” Another way Joao has set himself apart is with his personable approach to sales. “I really connect to my clients. I like to think that I become a small part of their families when we work together. A home can sell itself; I am there to represent them and protect them. I am there to guide them with my expertise and knowledge, so they can make the right decisions for their families. Their confidence in me helps take some of the stress out of the transaction.” Joao uses technology to his advantage in numerous ways and is always looking for new and better ways to improve his service. Now at EXP Realty LLC we spend a lot of time developing state of the art methods to better the experience and success ratio of our clients. Then we go above and beyond, to make sure our listings are given maximum visibility to get our clients the most money. I also utilize technology to stay in touch with my clients after the active transaction is over. I have programs that help me touch base with newsletters and remind me to give them a call. These tools help me maintain all the relationships I’ve built over the years.”
Joao enjoys spending his free time with his wife and his two young boys, in addition to participate in extreme sports such as Tae Kwon Do, mountain biking, wake surfing, and car racing. He is also a member of the PCA (Porsche club of America/Lone Star Region) where he attends Driving Education racing events throughout the year and participates in the 24 hours Lemons endurance races all over the country. With plans to expand his business into property home building and originating mortgages, Joao’s passion for what he does and for helping people, is what he credits most for his remarkably rapid success. “There’s nothing better than seeing the smiles on my client’s faces when they’re picking up the keys to their new home and knowing that I helped them achieve that dream, especially when they may have thought it was impossible. I always tell my clients upfront; I am not here to sell you a house instead help you find it. I am here to build a relationship and if a home comes along that is perfect for you, then we will get it. That’s what it’s all about.”
