Caira button

Chicago, IL

NAR’s 30 Under 30 Class of 2023 & team Owner

Caira Button’s real estate career came to her as a surprise. In 2016, she moved into her first studio apartment, and like any millennial, went to YouTube to learn how to organize it. There was very little content about studio apartments at the time, so she decided to start her own channel. In 2019, Caira moved to Chicago with her husband, where they shared a studio apartment. She documented the whole experience on her YouTube channel, and began getting flooded with messages when hundreds of her YouTube subscribers began reaching out about where to live in Chicago and asking for help finding their new home. Four years later, Caira now leads the real estate team, MOXIE, and has a passion for helping her clients fulfill their dream of living downtown. Awarded the 2023 National Association of Realtors 30 Under 30 award, Caira is surrounded by a community of agents nationwide, who go above and beyond for their clients in finding their next home. Caira’s approach to real estate is to make you feel as comfortable as possible, as if you are house hunting with your best friend, knowing that no matter what she has your best interest in mind. Caira is a licensed broker, and available to help, whether you are a renter, first time home buyer, or looking to purchase your dream home in the city of Chicago.

greater san antonio, tx

Over $235M sold & 3x Winner of top farm and Ranch agent by san antonio business journal

Weston Jenkins brings a profound connection to ranch real estate, a legacy rooted in his family’s history. Over 50 years ago, his grandfather established their brokerage in Beaumont, Texas, instilling values of integrity and dedication that remain the foundation of Weston’s career. Raised in the small-town ranching lifestyle of Medina, Weston developed a strong work ethic and an innate understanding of ranching culture, shaping his ability to excel in this unique sector of real estate. From a young age, Weston recognized ranch real estate as his calling. His upbringing provided him with a discerning eye for evaluating a ranch’s potential, matching properties to buyers’ specific needs, and crafting effective marketing strategies for sellers. This expertise, combined with his commitment to excellence, has yielded extraordinary success. In just 4.5 years, Weston has surpassed $235,000,000 in gross sales, earning accolades such as the National Association of Realtors’ 30 Under 30 award in 2023 and being named a Top 10 Farm and Ranch Real Estate Agent by the San Antonio Business Journal for three consecutive years. Beyond his thriving career, Weston’s personal mission is deeply inspired by his cousin, T.J. duPerier, who battles muscular dystrophy.

Headquartered in Boerne, Texas, the nonprofit empowers individuals with disabilities to embrace the outdoors.

over $40M sold, Design & marketing expert

Sacramento is home. I was born and raised here and at the young age of 19, I embarked on my real estate journey. As an Enneagram 3, often referred to as “The Achiever,” I bring a goal-oriented approach to my business. And as a proud grad of CU Boulder with a degree in Film Studies, I have a keen eye for visual storytelling and marketing. My passion for marketing goes hand-in-hand with my love for design trends, ensuring that every property I handle stands out in the market. I am happily married to the love of my life, Austin, who supports me in every step of my career. I’m an early riser, often starting my day at 5 am, which gives me a head start in serving my clients and being prepared for the day. When I’m not immersed in real estate, you can find me enjoying a round of golf, at book club, hitting the ski slopes, renovating my home, or attending/planning social events. I believe in the power of collaboration and often teach agents how tips and tricks to bettering their businesses. I strive to provide unparalleled service to my clients and fellow agents and have a true passion for this industry.
