About Me

Hi, I'm Carolina Gutierrez — originally from Mexico and now proudly serving families in San Antonio, Texas and beyond as a licensed Realtor. As someone who moved to the U.S. chasing big dreams, I understand how meaningful and emotional the journey to homeownership can be. It’s not just about buying a house — it’s about building roots, creating a legacy, and opening a new chapter in life. That’s why I love partnering with platforms like HomeFundIt. This tool allows you to receive financial gifts from friends and family toward your down payment — and I’m here to walk you through the entire process with clarity, care, and the highest level of professionalism. With a strong background in mortgage lending and investment real estate, I bring more than just market knowledge — I bring strategy, heart, and fierce dedication to every client I work with. Whether this is your first home or the first step in building generational wealth, I treat your goals like my own. Buying a home should be an empowering experience — and I’d be honored to be part of yours. Carolina Gutierrez Realtor® | Here for your journey, every step of the way
