Who Is the Best Listing Agent in The Royalton? (2026 Answer)

Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC works this building with the Houston Properties Team. Judge any listing agent here on closings inside the tower, on what they publish about the maintenance fees and the August 2022 evacuation, and on whether they can compare the 27 floor plans. Here is our record.

The record: 43 closings at The Royalton since 2004, most recently July 2026, in a 253-unit building. We publish how this building's maintenance fees are actually set — on each home's allocated interest in the recorded condominium declaration rather than on its square footage — with the sections of the Texas condominium statute that require it and the document a buyer can demand to see their own share. 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 that sits a proprietary database of buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks. For a seller the practical use of all of it is a comparable set drawn from homes of your own plan, and a prepared answer for the two questions a buyer here almost always brings: what the monthly fee covers and what happened in 2022.

There is no calendar answer, only an inventory one. 9 homes sold in the trailing twelve months out of 253, about 5.3 months of inventory, as of August 2026. Two or three homes for sale is a full inventory here, so what matters is how many of them share your plan.

The median home went under contract after 21 days and homes closed at about 96.8 percent of asking, as of August 2026. A short median time to contract alongside a ratio below asking usually describes homes priced to sell and then negotiated. That median also blends 27 plans, so a well-positioned home and an awkward one can sit at opposite ends of the range while the median sits between them. Across ten years the median sale price at this building has moved within a band rather than climbing steadily, while the median rate per square foot has risen more consistently. The price median follows which homes sold, and the sold set has ranged from single figures to more than twenty homes a year. So the timing question worth asking is narrower than the market: is a home of your plan and exposure on the market right now, and what did the last ones like yours do. If you want the numbers behind that judgement, read the building's ten-year price and sales series, which is the same source we work from.

Specifically, and from what your home actually is. The building holds 27 one, two and three bedroom plans across 253 homes, so a listing that sells the address rather than the plan is competing on the address alone. Say which plan, which floor, and which way the windows face.

Two homes of the same stated size here can differ in how much of that size is usable, because a plan's shape, its window wall and where the corridors and closets fall decide how much of the floor area is living space. The developer's own project record describes 253 one, two and three bedroom units plus four penthouses, with an average home of about 1,650 square feet, and an average across 27 plans is not a range. Outlook works the same way. Buffalo Bayou Park runs directly opposite the tower, a 160-acre green space between Allen Parkway and Memorial Drive, so the north side looks over parkland and bayou rather than a neighbouring roof. We track which floors and exposures see Downtown, which see the Galleria, and which look into another building. The plan set itself is not a public document, so no published page can compare the 27 plans for you. That comparison is working knowledge of the building, and it is what should shape the photographs, the copy and the price on your listing rather than a building average.

Most of them will raise it, because the coverage is easy to find. Expect questions about what broke, what the engineers found, when residents returned, and what the repairs cost the association. Have the answers and the documents ready before an option period rather than during one.

An underground water line serving the fire sprinkler system broke on 11 August 2022, water flooded the lower level, a section of ground slab heaved, and the 33-story tower was evacuated. Engineers inspected the next day and reported that they did not identify conditions representing an immediate concern to the structural integrity of the building's primary vertical and lateral systems, while noting that further conditions could be exposed once repairs were opened up. The city allowed some residents back on 4 October 2022, under a double fire watch while the sprinkler system was restored. A television report said the building no longer had an active certificate of occupancy; a Houston Public Works spokesperson later said that was not the case. For a seller the useful part is the paperwork. The resale certificate must state the reserves, capital expenditures approved for the coming twelve months, unsatisfied judgments and the nature of pending suits. Buyers often ask for board minutes, the engineering reports and the insurance history as well. Send anyone who wants the whole record to our account of the 2022 evacuation and what the engineers reported.

Start with a valuation on your own home rather than the building median. Send us the unit: which of the 27 plans it is, which floor and which way it faces, and the current monthly assessment. The median sale price across homes sold since February 2026 is $466,062, as of August 2026.

From there we build a comparable set out of sold homes of the same plan rather than out of the building as a whole. For context, the average price per square foot on sold homes is $348, homes closed at about 96.8 percent of asking, and the median went under contract after 21 days, all as of August 2026. Those figures describe the band this address occupies; they do not price a home. While that is running, start the documents. In Texas you have to furnish the declaration, the bylaws, any association rules and a current resale certificate before a contract is executed, and the association has ten days from your written request to produce the certificate. Asking for it early keeps it off the critical path later. Ask us for a valuation range and we will send back the comparable set, the plan notes and the source named for every figure in it, along with what a buyer is likely to ask about the monthly fee and about August 2022.
