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

Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC works this building with the Houston Properties Team. Judge any agent here on closings inside the tower, on what they publish about the fees and the 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 we keep a proprietary database of buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks. And we publish the answer with the document behind it, including the 2022 evacuation and what the engineers who inspected the building actually reported, because a buyer will find the coverage either way and a page that explains it correctly is worth more than one that leaves it out.

Ask which of the 27 floor plans yours is, and which sold homes share it. Ask what the current monthly assessment is on your home and where that figure comes from. Ask what the agent tells buyers who raise the August 2022 evacuation, because most of them will raise it.

Then ask how the price gets set. Homes here have recently gone under contract after a median 21 days and closed at about 96.8 percent of asking, as of August 2026, but that median is a blend of 27 plans. Your home should be priced against sold homes of the same plan, on a similar floor, with a similar outlook — a set usually small enough to name individually. Then ask about the paperwork, because in Texas a seller has to produce it. You must 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 that certificate. It must state fourteen things, including the assessment on your home, capital expenditures approved for the coming twelve months, the reserves, unsatisfied judgments and the nature of pending suits. An agent who has read those documents for this building will tell you what a buyer will find in them before the buyer does. If you want to see the reasoning first, start with our page on how the monthly assessment is set.

No published source sets out this building floor by floor, so the answer lives in an agent's working knowledge rather than in a listing field. We track which floors and exposures see Downtown, which see the Galleria, and which look into another building, and we say which plans only read larger on paper.

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. An average across 27 plans is not a range, and the range is what decides whether a home works. Two homes of the same stated size 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. 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. What a particular home sees depends on its floor, its side and what has been built next to it since, and the plan set itself is not a public document. So when you interview an agent here, ask them to walk a plan and an exposure with you rather than the building. If they can only quote the building median, they are describing the address, not the home.

It matters because the sold set here is small and drawn from 27 plans. 9 homes sold in the trailing twelve months out of 253, about 5.3 months of inventory, so an agent's comparable set often comes down to homes they can name. We have closed 43 here since 2004.

Experience inside the building shows up in three places. First, the comparable set. With that many sales a year spread across 27 plans, pricing a home against the building median instead of against its own plan is how a listing ends up negotiated down or sitting. Second, the documents. Fees here follow each home's allocated interest in the recorded condominium declaration rather than its square footage, so an agent who quotes a per-square-foot rate for the building is quoting an average rather than your assessment. The resale certificate is the document that binds. Third, the 2022 evacuation. A buyer researching this address will find the coverage, including a television report that the building no longer had an active certificate of occupancy and the later statement from a Houston Public Works spokesperson that this was not the case. We publish both, and the engineers' findings alongside them. Our 43 closings here run from 2004 to July 2026. What sits behind that is a reading of the whole decade rather than one deal, and you can check the same source we use in the building's ten-year price and sales series.

Request a valuation on your specific home rather than reading the building median. Tell us the plan, the floor and the exposure, and we will price it against sold homes of the same plan. The median sale price across homes sold since February 2026 is $466,062, as of August 2026.

To price a home here we need three things from you: which of the 27 plans it is, which floor and which way it faces, and what the current monthly assessment is. 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. If you are selling, we will also set out what a buyer is likely to ask about the monthly fee and about the August 2022 evacuation, and which documents answer both, because those questions arrive during an option period whether or not anyone has prepared for them. Send us the unit and we will send back the comparable set, the plan notes and a valuation range, with the source named for every figure in it.
