Mark Menendez is a Houston-based real estate advisor with more than 20 years of experience representing buyers and sellers of significant homes and estates. His practice is focused on River Oaks, the Memorial Villages and select neighborhoods throughout greater Houston, particularly when privacy, thoughtful positioning and experienced negotiation are important.

His advice extends beyond the mechanics of buying or selling a home. Mark considers market conditions, competitive supply, replacement cost and buyer behavior to help clients make informed decisions about value, timing and presentation. This perspective is especially useful at the highest end of the market, where comparable sales are limited and experience matters as much as the available data.

Mark has represented sellers in several of Houston’s most notable residential transactions, including the highest-priced single-family sale recorded through the Houston MLS and another among the most significant sales in River Oaks history. His work also includes notable transactions in Houston Heights and advisory assignments involving luxury residential development.

Mark also serves as Sales Director and development advisor for Ace & Ivy River Oaks, a wellness-centered residential development.

Previously, Mark held senior leadership positions within Douglas Elliman in Texas and New York. His roles included President of Brokerage for Douglas Elliman Texas, Managing Director of Sales in Houston and Executive Vice President at the firm’s TriBeCa office. Earlier in his career, he directed rental operations for Douglas Elliman New York and co-founded Menendez/Weiss, a top-producing Manhattan sales team.

Mark is a recipient of Douglas Elliman’s Lifetime Achievement Award. His work and market perspective have been featured by The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Mansion Global, Houston Chronicle, Crain’s, The Real Deal, PaperCity, Modern Luxury, KPRC and the New York Observer.

Clients value Mark for his candid advice, steady representation and ability to manage complex and sensitive transactions with care from the first conversation through closing.
