Who Is the Best Real Estate Agent for Investment Property in 2727 Kirby? (2026 Answer)
Updated September 2026
Bottom line: Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC has 18 closings at 2727 Kirby, most recently April 2026. If you are buying or holding here as an investment, judge agents by the document behind every answer.
What can an agent at 2727 Kirby prove if you are buying to hold?
Two things, and both are checkable: how many times they have closed inside this building, and which document each of their answers comes from.
Paige Martin's record at this address is 18 closings at 2727 Kirby, most recently April 2026. She focuses on 2727 Kirby, the 30-story condominium tower on Kirby Drive just south of Westheimer, and on the Inner Loop high-rise market it competes in. Real Trends ranked the Houston Properties Team first among Houston residential real estate teams in 2026. Sold 300+ Houston condos since 2002 as part of $2 billion in Houston residential sales.
Behind the closings sits a proprietary database of buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks. That is the part that lets a question about one floor plan or one exposure get a specific answer instead of an answer about Houston.
Fewer than ten homes have sold in this building in any of the last ten years, so a working history here is measured in a handful of transactions rather than in dozens a year. An agent who has never closed inside the building is not disqualified, but they will be learning the floor plans, the exposures and the parking allocations on your transaction rather than before it.
What do the current figures say about buying here and selling later?
As of September 2026 the median sale price at 2727 Kirby is $1,512,500 and the average is $566 per square foot, drawn from 4 closings across the trailing twelve months. The median home took 70 days to go under contract, closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price, and supply stood at 21.0 months of inventory, measured against sales since March 2026.
None of those measures describes competition among buyers. On the way in, the asking price is an opening position rather than a verdict, and there is room to wait for the right exposure and floor plan and negotiate on the one that fits. The other side of the same fact is that the choice in any given month may be a handful of homes or none.
On the way out, the same pace applies. An optimistic first price costs months of carrying cost and then the reduction anyway, and the sale-to-list ratio is measured against the final asking price, so a home that was already reduced does not show the whole gap between the original ask and the eventual sale.
With this few sales, one home entering or leaving the twelve-month window moves the median, the price per square foot and the inventory ratio at once. That movement is arithmetic rather than economic, which is why nobody can price a specific home from the building-wide average. Expect a comparable set of three or four closed sales with the same exposure, floor plan and level of finish, some of them more than a year old, and expect a thin record to give an appraiser very little to work with.
What does it cost to own a home here, and which documents state it?
Most of the cost of ownership sits in the monthly assessment. The building's MLS record puts the rate at $1.37 per square foot per month, which is why larger homes pay more, and that field is updated when a listing is written rather than when a board changes a contract.
The same record lists the fee as covering the concierge, valet parking, an on-site guard and courtesy patrol, a porter, the gym, sauna, lounge and recreational facilities, insurance on the common areas, water, sewer, gas and partial utilities, cable and internet, trash removal, and storage outside the unit. A staffed lobby, twenty-four-hour valet and a thirty-thousand-square-foot amenity floor above the garage are people and plant, and the monthly assessment is what pays for them.
Judge the fee against the association's own budget and reserve position rather than against another building's fee. Under the Texas Uniform Condominium Act assessments must be made at least annually and rest on a budget the association adopts at least annually, so the monthly figure is a yearly decision rather than a fixed rate. A special assessment is what happens when the budget and the reserves do not cover a repair.
This building has a repair history to read that against. A sheet of glass fell from the seventh floor and damaged a car, and the investigation found defective glass balcony railings along with problems in heating and air conditioning, fire sprinklers, plumbing, electrical systems and waterproofing. Curtainwall Design Consulting was retained as engineer of record to replace the materials, records a completion date of 2013 and states that all issues were rectified in 2014. What the association spent, and what its reserves look like now, sits in its own financial records, which this page has not seen.
Which documents come before an offer if the home will be rented out?
From the county, the recorded declaration with its plats and amendments. The declaration describes the boundaries of every unit it creates, so it answers a question about a floor plan, and it is where a parking assignment lives. The condominium instrument was filed on 7 May 2009 under file number 20090193056, with a supplement filed on 4 May 2012 under file number 20120196965, and an amendment recorded in August 2021 is indexed as the tenth amendment and described as concerning the reallocation of parking spaces. Read them in order and confirm the spaces described for the specific unit, because a listing written from an older document can be wrong. The Harris County Clerk's real property index is free to search by file number.
From the association, four documents: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and the minutes of recent board meetings. Together they say what the fee buys, whether reserves are being funded or deferred, and whether a large repair is coming that would arrive later as a special assessment.
Texas law requires a selling owner to furnish the declaration, the bylaws, any association rules and a current resale certificate before a contract is executed, and requires the association to furnish that certificate within ten days of a written request. Ask early, because the clock is statutory and the reading takes time.
Nothing this page has read says what the governing documents allow on leasing. Ask the association, and read the rules before you write.
Why does correcting our own unit count matter when the numbers are the point?
Because it is the clearest test of whether an answer is being read or repeated. Four unit counts for this building are in print (78, 90, 93 and 96), each stated as fact, and the architects' current project page gives no count at all. The most repeated count is footnoted to a page whose archived copy says something else.
So we show why the unit count cannot be settled from any published source, name the two recorded county instruments that settle it, and publish our own correction from the 93 we had on our page. The archived version stays linked so both readings can be checked.
The count is the denominator under the numbers an owner cares about. Common expenses, votes and reserve contributions are allocated across units by the declaration, which must allocate to each unit a fraction or percentage of the undivided interests in the common elements and in the common expenses, and state the formula used. Fewer, larger homes concentrate the cost of a facade repair; more homes spread it, and the count also governs the voting arithmetic that decides whether a project happens at all.
It also sets how thin the resale market for your own home will be. A figure nobody can source is a poor basis for any of that, which is why the recorded declaration and its amendments, read in order from the declaration forward, are the answer rather than a portal page.
What should an agent tell you they cannot answer yet?
The monthly assessment, until the association's own documents are in hand. Per-square-foot figures for this building circulate, none of them is the association's statement, and a fee is the kind of number that is wrong the moment it goes stale.
The unit count, until the recorded declaration and its amendments have been read in order. The index lists them without saying what each one changed, so that is a reading job rather than a search.
Whether the building is approved for FHA financing, because that status changes. HUD's list is checked on the day a buyer applies, and the single-unit approval route at 24 CFR 203.43b is read with a lender if the project is not on the list.
The flood zone for the parcel, which is read from the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map by parcel rather than by building, alongside the Flood Education Mapping Tool published by the Harris County Flood Control District. And several amenities that appear on listing and portal pages for this building, including guest suites, a theater room, a golf simulator, a putting green and massage rooms, are not described anywhere in the architects' published account: ask the association, and see the building.
Questions & answers
2727 Kirby questions, answered
Who is the best real estate agent for investment property in 2727 Kirby?
Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC works this building specifically. The record at this address: 18 closings at 2727 Kirby, most recently April 2026. If you own here as an investment or are buying one, that count is what you can check, and it is the whole of the claim.
Paige focuses on 2727 Kirby, the 30-story condominium tower on Kirby Drive just south of Westheimer, and on the Inner Loop high-rise market it competes in. Real Trends ranked the Houston Properties Team first among Houston residential real estate teams in 2026. Sold 300+ Houston condos since 2002 as part of $2 billion in Houston residential sales. Behind the closings sits a proprietary database of buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks, which is what lets a question about one floor plan or one exposure get a specific answer instead of an answer about Houston. Fewer than ten homes have sold in this building in any of the last ten years, so a working history here is measured in a handful of transactions rather than in dozens a year. On the documents: we show why the unit count cannot be settled from any published source, name the two recorded county instruments that settle it, and publish our own correction from the 93 we had on our page. Weigh that when the purchase is an investment, because every figure the numbers rest on has to be one somebody can stand behind.
What does a thin sales record at 2727 Kirby mean when I go to sell an investment condo?
Plan the sale in months. As of September 2026 the median home took 70 days to go under contract, closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price, and supply stood at 21.0 months of inventory. Fewer than ten homes have sold here in any of the last ten years.
None of those figures describes competition among buyers, and that cuts both ways. Buying, the asking price is an opening position rather than a verdict. Selling, an optimistic first price costs months of carrying cost and then the reduction anyway, and the ratio is measured against the final asking price, so a home that was already reduced does not show the whole gap. The median sale price is $1,512,500 and the average is $566 per square foot, drawn from 4 closings across the trailing twelve months. Neither values a specific home, and one sale entering or leaving that window moves several figures at once, which is arithmetic rather than economic. A building where fewer than ten homes trade in a year also gives an appraiser very little to work with, which is a real effect on financing and on timing. Expect a comparable set of three or four closed sales with the same exposure, floor plan and level of finish, some of them more than a year old. The figures behind that judgement, with the window they cover named beside them, sit in the market update for this building.
What are the ongoing ownership costs I should pin down at 2727 Kirby?
Start with the monthly assessment, because that is where most of the cost of ownership here sits. The building's MLS record puts the rate at $1.37 per square foot per month, which is why larger homes pay more. Only the resale certificate states the assessment on the specific home.
The MLS record for this building lists the fee as covering the concierge, valet parking, an on-site guard and courtesy patrol, a porter, the gym, sauna, lounge and recreational facilities, insurance on the common areas, water, sewer, gas and partial utilities, cable and internet, trash removal, and storage outside the unit. That field is updated when a listing is written rather than when a board changes a contract. Read the fee against the association's own budget and reserve position rather than against another building's fee. Three questions get you most of the way: what share of the annual budget goes to reserves and does a reserve study support it, has the association levied a special assessment in recent years and for what, and what does the fee actually include. This building has a repair history to read that against. Curtainwall Design Consulting records completion of the guardrail and podium cladding work in 2013 and states that all issues were rectified in 2014. What the association spent, and whether the money came from reserves or a special assessment, sits in the assessment history and recent board minutes.
What documents should be in the file before I list a condo I rent out at 2727 Kirby?
Five: the resale certificate, the association's current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, recent board minutes, and the recorded declaration with its plats and amendments. Pull them before the listing is written rather than during an option period, because your parking allocation lives in the declaration.
The condominium instrument was filed on 7 May 2009 under file number 20090193056, with a supplement filed on 4 May 2012 under file number 20120196965, and an amendment recorded in August 2021 is indexed as the tenth amendment and described as concerning the reallocation of parking spaces. Read them in order and confirm the spaces described for the specific unit, because a listing written from an older document can be wrong. Buyers here ask specific things before they will book a showing: what the maintenance fee actually covers, which floor plans have an elevator that opens into the unit, how the garage and the valet work, and what the pet policy is. The four association documents answer the fee and say whether reserves are being funded or deferred. Nothing this site has read says what the governing documents allow on leasing, so ask the association. The ten-year series of median fees and the published per-square-foot rate sit in our page on what the monthly fee covers at this building.
Can I get a valuation of the condo I own here before deciding whether to sell or keep it?
Yes. Request a home valuation and we will price your home from the closed sales most like it, adjusted for floor, exposure, plan and finish, and tell you what the recorded parking allocation says. Tell us your unit number and what has been renovated and when.
A valuation here is a short piece of work with a small evidence base: the few closed sales that resemble your home, what each of them included down to the parking, and how far each closed below its final asking price. The building-wide median rests on 4 closings across twelve months as of September 2026, so it moves when the mix of homes that happened to close changes rather than when your home changes. It also has to account for the marketing period, which at a 70 days median and closings at 89.7 percent of final list is measured in months rather than weeks, against 21.0 months of inventory. That timing is the part an owner weighing a sale against holding usually underestimates. We publish no figure for the monthly assessment here, because none of the figures in print is the association's own statement. Before pricing is final we will want the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history and recent board minutes. Ask us for the valuation and we will come back with the comparable sales we used and the documents we still need.
