Who Is the Best Real Estate Agent for Off-Market and Private Sales in 2727 Kirby? (2026 Answer)
Updated August 2026
Bottom line: Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC has 18 closings at 2727 Kirby, most recently April 2026. For an off-market or private sale here, judge agents by closings inside the building and by the document behind every answer.
What can an agent prove when the sale never reaches the open market?
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.
How do you price a private sale when only a handful of homes trade?
As of August 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 18.0 months of inventory, measured against sales since February 2026.
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. The 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 whoever prices the home to know what each of those sales included down to the parking.
If you are buying, none of those figures describes competition among buyers, so the asking price is an opening position rather than a verdict and there is room to negotiate on the home that fits. If you are selling, the first number carries more weight than it would elsewhere: 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, and an optimistic opening price costs months of carrying cost and then the reduction anyway.
Which documents carry the weight when there is no listing to rely on?
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 the amendments run at least to a tenth, recorded in August 2021 and indexed as concerning the reallocation of parking spaces. Read them in order and confirm the spaces described for the specific unit. 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. Any of them can be requested during an option period, and a seller can pull them before a price is agreed rather than after.
That last point has history behind it here. 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 resolving it, and what its reserves look like now, sits in its own financial records, which this page has not seen.
Which questions still have to be answered without a listing page?
The same ones buyers at this building ask before they will spend an afternoon on a showing: what the maintenance fee actually covers, which floor plans have an elevator that opens into the unit and which share one, which exposures look toward downtown and which face west into the afternoon sun, how the garage and the valet work, whether the guest suites can be reserved, what the pet policy is, and how the building compares with the Huntingdon, the Royalton and Montebello.
Ask those of the agent, then ask where each answer came from. The architects' own description separates residences from estates, with estate owners having an elevator that delivers them into their unit, but no public source found for this site says which homes are which. Published size ranges do not agree either: an archived architects' page gives 1,250 to 6,100 square feet across one-, two- and three-bedroom plans, while a current building page gives about 2,400 to more than 4,500 square feet across two- and three-bedroom plans.
The instrument that answers it for a specific home is the recorded declaration together with its plats, which describe the boundaries of every unit. The fee is answered by the four association documents. So the honest version of some answers is: here is the instrument, and here is what it does not settle. An agent who hands you that before a private deal is priced is easier to work with than one who improvises.
Why does correcting our own unit count matter in a private sale?
Because it is the clearest test of whether an answer is being read or repeated, and in a deal that never reaches the open market there is less public paperwork to check an answer against. 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 not trivia. Common expenses, votes and reserve contributions are allocated across units by the declaration, so the number of homes is the denominator under an owner's share of the budget, of any special assessment and of the reserves. A figure nobody can source is a poor basis for any of that.
The same discipline applies to the answers that are not ready yet. The monthly assessment waits on the association's own documents, because none of the per-square-foot figures in circulation is the association's statement. The unit count waits on the recorded declaration and its amendments, read in order. Whether the building is approved for FHA financing changes, so HUD's list is checked on the day you apply, and the single-unit approval route at 24 CFR 203.43b is read with a lender if the project is not on it. 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 off-market and private sales 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. Whether a home here trades quietly or on the open market, 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 here in any of the last ten years, so a working history 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 last part when the sale is happening out of public view. Someone who will correct a figure they published will tell you what the record does not say about the specific home.
How do you price a home at 2727 Kirby when the sale is handled privately?
The same way as any sale here: from the closed sales that resemble the home, adjusted for floor, exposure, plan and finish. A private sale does not create its own price. The median at $1,512,500 and the average at $566 per square foot do not value a specific home.
At this building the comparable set is usually three or four closed sales with the same exposure, floor plan and level of finish, some of them reaching back more than a year. With 4 closings across the trailing twelve months, one sale entering or leaving that window moves the median, the price per square foot and the inventory ratio at once, and the movement is arithmetic rather than economic. The building-wide figures still tell you what kind of negotiation you are in. As of August 2026 the median home went under contract in 70 days, closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price, and supply stood at 18.0 months of inventory, measured across sales since February 2026. None of that describes competition among buyers, so the asking price is an opening position rather than a verdict, whether or not the home was ever listed publicly. Ask which closed sales support the number, what each one included down to the parking, and how each differed on floor, exposure and finish. The figures behind that judgement, with the window they cover named beside them, sit in the market update for this building.
If I buy a 2727 Kirby condo off-market, how do I confirm the parking that comes with it?
Pull the recorded documents yourself. 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, concerning the reallocation of parking spaces.
Parking at a condominium is not a courtesy. It is an interest described in the declaration and attached to a specific home, and a home's value can depend on how many spaces it carries and where they sit. The declaration describes the boundaries of every unit it creates, so it answers the floor-plan question too. Without a listing in front of you there is nothing secondhand to correct, and the reading job is the same either way: start at the declaration and run forward through every amendment in order. The Harris County Clerk's real property index is free to search by file number, and it lists the amendments without saying what each one changed. Confirm the spaces described for the specific unit before the option period ends rather than after. The association's records answer the money side: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and the minutes of recent board meetings. We publish no figure for the monthly assessment here, because none of the figures in print is the association's own statement.
What am I giving up if I sell my 2727 Kirby condo privately instead of listing it?
The chance that another buyer was waiting, and that is worth weighing in a building where fewer than ten homes have sold in any of the last ten years. Supply stands at 18.0 months of inventory and the median home went under contract in 70 days, so buyers here are not queuing.
Closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price as of August 2026, and the ratio is measured against the final asking price, not the first one, so a home that was already reduced does not show the whole gap between the original ask and the eventual sale. Read with the 70 days median, that says the same thing from two directions: the marketing period here is measured in months rather than weeks, and price is negotiated. Condition and finish still matter without public marketing. Because so few homes close, the ones that do become the reference for everything after them, so what you fix before a sale carries more weight here than it would in a market with hundreds of annual sales. Either way the document file is the same: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, recent board minutes, and the recorded declaration with its plats and amendments, because your parking allocation lives there. The seller-side version of these questions is set out in our answer on choosing a listing agent at 2727 Kirby.
Can I get a valuation before deciding whether to sell privately at 2727 Kirby?
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 August 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 18.0 months of inventory. That timing is the part most owners weighing a quiet sale underestimate. 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.
