I came to Houston the way a lot of people do — with a one-way flight, a hypothesis about a better life, and an unreasonable amount of belief in myself.
I'm Daisia. I'm a licensed real estate agent at Collective Realty Co. in Houston, and I help people buy, sell, and invest with the kind of care that's harder to find in this industry than it should be.
Before real estate, I had what some people would call an unconventional path and what I'd call exactly the right one. I studied biochemistry at Austin Peay State University — graduated cum laude, ranked 4th in a class of 254, picked up a Harvard Medical School genetics and data anayltics certificate along the way. I went to medical school at Meharry. And then I left.
I left because I learned something important: I'm not someone who fits inside one box. I needed a career that used all of me.
The years between
Between medicine and real estate, I built a life that doesn't summarize easily. I worked as a cosmetic chemist and marketing director. I became a BI analyst running predictive models and influencer analytics. I taught dance, choreographed heels and hip-hop, performed as an aerialist. I modeled — published in more than ten magazines, nominated for an SEA award. I designed a fashion collection. I wrote songs. I built an audience of over 190,000 people across Instagram and TikTok by being honest about all of it.
Every single one of those things sharpened a muscle I use in real estate.
Chemistry taught me to read evidence. Analytics taught me to read patterns. Modeling taught me to read a room. Choreography taught me to read tempo. Real estate is all four at once.
Why I do this
I work with first-time buyers who are scared to ask the questions that matter. I work with sellers who've been burned by agents who treated their listing like a hobby. I work with investors who want someone who can actually run the numbers, not just nod along.
And I work in two Houstons — the one in the brochures and the one people actually live in. I'll show you both.

What working with me looks like
I'm direct. I don't pad bad news with feelings and I don't sell you on a house I wouldn't recommend to my own family. If we work together, you'll know exactly where you stand, what the math says, and what I'd do in your position.
I'm also not for everyone. I'm not the agent who tells you what you want to hear. If you want a yes-person, there are plenty of those. If you want someone who's going to fight for the right outcome — even when that outcome means walking away from a deal — let's talk.
The right home, the right deal, and the right strategy aren't the same thing. My job is making sure you don't confuse them.
