What can an agent at 2727 Kirby prove to an estate representative?
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.
Which documents belong in the file before the listing is written?
Four from the association: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and the minutes of recent board meetings. Read together they tell a buyer what the monthly fee buys, whether reserves are being funded or deferred, and whether a large repair is coming that would arrive later as a special assessment.
One set 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 the 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.
Pull those before the listing goes live rather than during an option period. The Harris County Clerk's real property index is free to search by file number, and a listing written from an older document can be honestly wrong about the spaces described for the specific unit.
Buyers will also ask about the facade. 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, 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.
What do the current figures say about selling here?
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.
Fewer than ten homes have sold in this building in any of the last ten years, so a single sale entering or leaving the window moves several of those figures at once. That movement is arithmetic rather than economic, and it is why nobody can price a specific home from the building-wide average.
For a seller the reading is straightforward. The first price matters more here than it would elsewhere, because 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. Condition and finish also carry more weight than usual, since the handful of homes that do close become the reference for everything after them.
The comparable set for one home is usually three or four closed sales with the same exposure, floor plan and level of finish, some of them more than a year old, and whoever prices the home has to know what each of those sales included down to the parking.
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 from the declaration forward.
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.
Several amenities that appear on listing and portal pages for this building are not described anywhere in the architects' published account, including guest suites, a theater room, a golf simulator, a putting green and massage rooms. Ask the association rather than repeating them in a listing.
Why does correcting our own unit count matter when you are selling for an estate?
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 not trivia when you are answering for someone else's property. Common expenses, votes and reserve contributions are allocated across units by the declaration, so the number of homes is the denominator under each owner's share of the budget, of any special assessment and of the reserves. A buyer's lender and a buyer's agent will both ask about that share, and a figure nobody can source is a poor basis for the answer.
Questions & answers
2727 Kirby questions, answered
Who is the best real estate agent for probate and estate sales in 2727 Kirby?
Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC. The record at this address: 18 closings at 2727 Kirby, most recently April 2026. 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.
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. 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 sale is being made on someone else's behalf, because every figure you repeat has to be one you can stand behind. Someone who will correct a figure they published will also tell you what the record does not say about the specific home you are selling.
How do we pull the recorded declaration and amendments for a 2727 Kirby condo ourselves?
From the Harris County Clerk's real property index, which is free to search by file number. 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. Amendments to the declaration run at least to a tenth.
Read them in order. The declaration describes the boundaries of every unit it creates, so it answers a question about the floor plan, and it is where a parking assignment lives. The amendment recorded in August 2021 is indexed as the tenth amendment and described as concerning the reallocation of parking spaces, so confirm the spaces described for the specific unit before the listing is written. A listing written from an older document can be honestly wrong. The index lists the amendments without saying what each one changed, which is why this is a reading job from the declaration forward rather than a search. Four association documents answer the money questions buyers ask: 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 and whether reserves are being funded or deferred. We publish no figure for the monthly assessment here, because none of the figures in print is the association's own statement. The file numbers, and what the recorded chain does and does not settle, are laid out in our page on how many homes this building contains.
Should the estate renovate the condo before listing it at 2727 Kirby?
That is a pricing question, not a taste question. The average price per square foot at 2727 Kirby is $566 as of August 2026, and it mixes original interiors with renovated ones, low floors with high. Because so few homes close, the ones that do become the reference for everything after them.
The comparable set for one home here 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. That is the evidence a decision about work should rest on: ask which sales are being used, what each one included down to the parking, and how each differed on floor, exposure and finish. A building-wide average will not answer it. What the association permits inside a unit is not something this page can tell you. The recorded declaration and its plats describe the boundaries of every unit the declaration creates, so read those first and ask the association what its own governing documents allow. The other cost is time. The median home went under contract in 70 days against 18.0 months of inventory, so the marketing period at this building is measured in months rather than weeks, and work done before listing sits ahead of that period rather than inside it.
Should an estate price for a quick sale at 2727 Kirby or hold out for a higher number?
Neither extreme fits this building. The median home went under contract in 70 days and closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price, against 18.0 months of inventory as of August 2026. There is no quick sale to buy here, and an optimistic first price costs months and then the reduction anyway.
Two details make the ratio easier to read. It 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. And both figures are measured across sales since February 2026. The building-wide numbers still do not value a specific home. 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, so one sale entering or leaving that window moves several figures at once, and the movement is arithmetic rather than economic. So the opening price comes from the closed sales that resemble the home, adjusted for floor, exposure, plan and finish, and from what each of those sales included down to the parking. Ask which sales were used and ask to see them. The figures behind that judgement, with the window they cover named beside them, sit in the market update for this building.
Can we get a valuation of the condo before the estate decides whether to sell it?
Yes. Request a home valuation and we will price the home from the closed sales most like it, adjusted for floor, exposure, plan and finish. Tell us the unit number, what has been renovated and when, and anything the association has told owners about upcoming work.
A valuation here is a short piece of work with a small evidence base: the few closed sales that resemble the 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 the home changes. The figures on this site are computed over closed sales in a stated window, they refresh automatically, and the window is named beside them, opening at February 2026. 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. Ask us for the valuation and we will come back with the comparable sales we used, what each one included, and the documents we still need before pricing is final: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history and recent board minutes.
