Some people build businesses. Others build legacies.

Nancy Almodovar is doing both — and she’s doing it from right here in The Heights.

A native Houstonian and first-generation American, Nancy is the powerhouse behind Nan and Company Properties, one of the city’s most respected names in luxury real estate.

But long before she was leading a multimillion-dollar brokerage, Nancy was working from her kitchen table, balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship with equal intensity.

Her path wasn’t handed to her. She earned her business degree from the University of Houston’s Bauer College of Business and went on to complete the prestigious Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. Like everything she does, it was intentional, driven, and backed by a deep belief in what was possible — not just for herself, but for the city around her.

In 2014, Nancy launched Nan and Company with a clear mission: to raise the standard of service in Houston’s luxury real estate scene. At the time, she saw a gap in the market — a space where high-end listings were abundant, but white-glove client care often fell short. She decided to change that, one listing at a time.

Today, Nan and Company has become a go-to for buyers and sellers in Houston’s most exclusive neighborhoods. The company represents everything Nancy set out to build: smart marketing, polished professionalism, and a warm, client-first experience that goes well beyond closing day.

She’s handled the city’s most prestigious estates and consistently ranks among the top-selling agents for ultra-luxury properties — including recognition as the #1 agent in Houston for sales of the most expensive homes.

But numbers only tell part of the story.

What sets Nancy apart — and what makes her such a standout in our Heights community — is the way she blends ambition with authenticity. Her office might close million-dollar deals, but it still feels personal.

You’ll often find Nancy bringing her kids into the office, integrating family and work in a way that’s both intentional and inspiring. She’s proof that professionalism and real-life motherhood can coexist — not in separate compartments, but in harmony.

And yes, she’s as stylish and sharp as you’d expect from someone selling the city’s most beautiful homes — but always approachable, always grounded, and always ready to celebrate the charm of a pink-tiled bathroom or a great front porch swing. That’s just part of her magic.

Her office is located right here in The Heights — which feels like a full-circle moment. Because even though she’s worked at the top of Houston’s market, she’s never disconnected from the community feel that makes this neighborhood special.

She knows the streets, the parks, the porch culture. She’s part of the rhythm of this place — not just professionally, but personally.

So whether you're house hunting or just hunting for inspiration, Nancy’s story is one to watch. She’s built something remarkable — and she’s done it while staying deeply connected to her roots, her family, and her neighborhood.

We’re proud to feature Nancy Almodovar as one of The Heights’ most inspiring women in business — and someone who proves, every day, that where you start doesn’t define how far you can go.
