Meet Katina Chimney

Dedicated to help you through your journey, every step of the way

I grew up in a small East Texas town where down-home values were everything. Life was simple, family was close-knit, and hard work was the norm. As the only girl with three rowdy brothers, I learned early how to hold my own and stay grounded. Those roots taught me resilience, community, and the importance of having a place to call home.

After graduating from junior college and UT Austin, I struggled to find a career that truly lit me up. And then life took an unexpected turn. A major car accident left me in a coma and hospitalized for three months. I had to relearn how to walk, talk, and even breathe. That experience changed everything—it taught me that life is fragile, and home is where healing and hope begin. Later, I wrote a children’s book, which I’m proud of, but still struggled to find a career that truly lit me up.

Years later, I was working a job I didn’t love when, as luck would have it, I got laid off. One day, I called a college friend to go walking with me to look at homes in River Oaks, a beautiful Houston neighborhood. It was my favorite pastime. She couldn’t join because her firm’s showing agent had quit. Curious, I asked, “What does a showing agent do?” When she explained, I said, “Get me an interview.” She did, and the broker hired me on the spot! From that moment, I knew I had found my calling. Real estate combined everything I loved: beautiful homes, helping people, and creating stability in times of change.

Today, I help busy professionals in Houston move seamlessly through every stage of real estate—buying, selling, and leasing—using my NextNest System. My mission is simple: to guide you through life’s transitions with confidence and care, so you can focus on what matters most—building the life you love.

"Katina was very instrumental in helping me find my new home! She went above and beyond to ensure all of my questions were answered and was extremely diligent in capturing everything 1 needed in my home. She maintained open lines of communication and ensured that T's were crossed and all I's were dotted by the other party. She's the kind of realtor you know will have your back. Her personality is warm and she's very patient. It's been an absolute pleasure working with her and I will definitely look to her for any future housing needs. Thank you Katina!!!
