On Thursday, Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions and top agent Brad Hermes of Keller Williams Memorial hosted luxury real estate agents in Houston, Texas, for an exclusive dinner at Mastro's Steakhouse to discuss the state of the luxury market.

As a member of our Agent Advisory Board, Hermes is customary with the luxury auction process, a top-performing agent in the Houston real estate market, and provides insights to guide us in regard to our relationships to the brokerage community.

“Brad is one of the most respected agents and having him be a part of our Agent Advisory Board has been extremely helpful in our current traction we are experiencing in the Houston real estate market. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with him to put on such a successful event,” stated Mario Vargas, SVP of Corporate Development.

Hermes has been a consistent top-performing real estate agent in the Houston area since 1995, solidifying himself as an expert in selling high-end homes. He has ranked among the top 10 percent of sales associates in the Houston market, and top one percent in Harris County. Hermes also created the Hermes Fine Properties team, combining decades of experience in the Houston area.

“I have had the pleasure of serving on Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ Agent Advisory Board for two years,” stated Brad Hermes. “I was honored to host this dinner with them to introduce other agents to their successful platform.”

The dinner consisted of 20-plus luxury real estate agents in Houston sharing insights on the current market, celebrating wins as well as addressing some of the challenges, and introductions to our high-end auction process. As we continue to expand our Corporate Development initiatives, we will attend luxury conferences, brand sponsorships, and host high end dinners to build lifelong relationships.
