Richard Hester

Richard is a Baton Rouge native and LSU graduate who has called Houston home since 2010. After a successful career in property management with a local Houston developer for over 10+ years, he fulfilled a life-long desire in 2019 to become a real estate agent and has never looked back.

Originally joining New York-based Douglas Elliman in the summer of 2019 and pre-selling The Hawthorne high rise at the corner of San Felipe and Chimney Rock for renowned Pelican Builders, he pivoted to traditional resale at the end of 2020, partnering with the local powerhouse brokerage Martha Turner Sotheby's. No name in real estate carries more brand recognition than Sotheby's.

His love for people, including his heart's desire to help them in any capacity, not just in a real estate transaction; his propensity towards beautiful homes, including their design and potential; and his proven confidence in navigating expectations and negotiations in both integrity and transparency have led to his success in this industry. His established network of vendors, inspectors, designers, and mortgage lenders have aided him, as well.

He believes Houston is a fantastic city—often underrated—and his capabilities to serve this city and community as an advocate in this industry brings him great joy. Whether you desire to become a first-time homeowner or are a seasoned buyer/seller, he loves nothing more than to connect with you and see how he can help. No one will serve you better.
