Who Is the Best Real Estate Agent for Relocating to 2727 Kirby? (2026 Answer)

What can an agent at 2727 Kirby prove to someone moving in from out of town?

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 exposure or one floor plan get a specific answer instead of a general one.

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 is at 2727 Kirby, and how far is the rest of Houston?

2727 Kirby is a residential condominium high-rise at 2727 Kirby Drive, in the Upper Kirby area just south of Westheimer Road, in the 77098 zip code, inside Houston's Inner Loop. Its architects, Ziegler Cooper, describe a thirty-story tower whose form leans into Kirby Drive, on a site of less than an acre, with a six-level garage and the shared amenity floor built above it. Every source checked says thirty storeys, and the archived architects' page and the facade consultant both put the height at four hundred feet.

The market-data source behind this site records a typical weekday drive of about fifteen minutes to downtown Houston and about ten minutes to the Texas Medical Center, with the Galleria about ten minutes away and the Energy Corridor about thirty. Those describe ordinary conditions rather than peak congestion.

Treat any published drive time as the middle of a wide distribution rather than a promise. The difference between leaving at seven and leaving at nine is larger than the difference between any two of those destinations, and Kirby Drive itself is the constraint on most of the trips. If a commute is central to the decision, drive it yourself in both directions at the hour you would actually travel, on a weekday, before you write an offer. Ask how the garage exit works at that hour too, because at a full-service building with valet the first few minutes of the trip are part of it.

Which questions can be answered before you arrive, and which wait on documents?

Buyers at this building ask a consistent set of things 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 rather than of the listing, 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 four association documents, any of which can be requested during an option period: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and the minutes of recent board meetings.

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 showing is easier to work with than one who improvises, and it is easier still to read from another city.

What does a market this thin mean when you are on a moving timeline?

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.

None of those measures describes competition among buyers. The list price is an opening position rather than a verdict, and you can see what is available, 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, so a fixed arrival date and a fixed floor plan will not always meet.

Fewer than ten homes have sold in this building in any of the last ten years, so 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. Judge a specific home against the closed sales most like it on floor, exposure, plan and finish, and expect that comparable set to be three or four sales, some of them more than a year old.

One thing to settle early here: what the home's recorded parking allocation actually is. Spaces at this condominium have been formally reallocated by recorded amendment, so the assignment described in a listing is not necessarily the assignment in the current document.

Why does correcting our own unit count matter when you are new to the building?

Because it is the clearest test of whether an answer is being read or repeated, and from out of town you have fewer ways to test it yourself. 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 building's own history is part of why that share matters. 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.

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 Harris County Clerk's index is free to search by file number, and the amendments run at least to a tenth, one of which is indexed as concerning the reallocation of parking spaces.

Whether the building is approved for FHA financing, because that status changes. 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 the list.

And several amenities that appear on 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, and see the building.
