Mark Menendez

About Mark

Strategic Advisor. Market Maker. Trusted Closer.



Mark Menendez holds the record for the highest single-family home sale in Houston MLS history—and the third highest. He’s also behind the second highest MLS sale in River Oaks history and is credited with one of the most impressive back-to-back, price-per-square-foot deals in Height's history.



Named one of The Houston Chronicle’s Most Fascinating and Viral Houstonians, Mark is a national force with a global reach—backed by Douglas Elliman’s elite Sports & Entertainment Division and the international Knight Frank referral network. He is a recipient of the firm’s Lifetime Achievement Award—a rare distinction earned through consistent performance at the highest level.



Over the past 20 years, Mark has quietly reshaped the expectations of luxury real estate, advising some of the nation’s most discerning clientele. His ability to move confidently between markets—New York, Miami, Houston, Hawaii—gives him a broad lens and a tactical edge. Clients, agents, and industry leaders seek his perspective not just for his results, but for his discernment, strategy, and discretion.



Mark’s approach is grounded in integrity, refined negotiation, and an intuitive sense of timing. He doesn’t just close deals—he orchestrates outcomes. With a reputation built on trust and execution, Mark isn’t in the business of sales; he’s in the business of legacy.
