“My nature has always been to help others,” Tish Sotello says. Not surprisingly, Tish has channeled that nature into a career in residential real estate. “I love people and I love being able to help a person or family during a major transition in their lives. Whether it’s an older couple downsizing or a young couple with a new baby who need more space, I am dedicated to helping them find a home and to making the process as smooth as possible.”

Tish is a native Texan, born in El Paso and raised in Houston. Prior to her career in residential real estate, she worked in medical sales, co-owned several child-care centers, and was a partner in a management, marketing and consulting firm. “I have always been self-employed,” Tish says. “I possess high-level marketing and sales skills, am organized, and have a strong work ethic and commitment to customer service. I don’t quit until the objective is met.”

“If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.” This quote from Lucille Ball should have been written for Tish. This Realtor and mother of two finds time to volunteer for her children’s Sienna Plantation schools and extra-curricular activities, as well as the March of Dimes and Philia Works of Houston. Tish founded and manages Harvest Minds, Inc., a non-profit organization focused on inspiring young minds from the 6th-grade forward, and teaches self-worth workshops for girls in foster care.

A graduate of Jersey Village High School, Tish earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. She enjoys traveling abroad, dining in different restaurants and learning something new. “At the moment, it’s paddle-boarding and Spanish language lessons,” Tish says.
