SERHANT., a real estate firm, has expanded its operations into Texas, establishing a presence in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. The expansion is marked by the addition of 13 founding agents and the rebranding of six established independent brokerages. Collectively, these entities achieved nearly $1.5 billion in sales volume over the preceding 12 months.
This strategic move provides SERHANT. with an immediate foothold in four of Texas's major housing markets. The Texas launch follows similar expansions into Boston and California earlier this year, extending the firm's reach to 17 states since it began expanding beyond New York in 2023.
Susana Sarvis, a Houston native with 17 years of industry experience, will lead SERHANT. Texas as its managing director and broker of record. Sarvis previously held leadership positions at Real Brokerage, Compass, and John Daugherty, Realtors. She expressed enthusiasm for leading the Texas expansion, citing the state's dynamic luxury markets.
Instead of acquisitions, SERHANT. has aligned with six existing Texas independent brokerages, which will now operate under the SERHANT. platform. These include Houston-based Truss Real Estate and CitiQuest Properties, Evoke Realty (serving Austin, San Antonio, and the Coastal Bend), Dallas-Fort Worth-based MRA Realtors, and Austin-based KF Real Estate and Steele Portfolio Real Estate.
Notable individuals joining include Chris Phan, founder of Truss Real Estate, with a 15-person team and significant career sales. Patrick Burbridge of CitiQuest Properties is also joining with 10 agents, focusing on developments and new construction. David Garcia Jr. and Alanna D’Antonio Garcia will operate as evoke group, having achieved over $380 million in career sales. In Dallas, Robert Alvarez Jr. and Lisa Martin are bringing MRA Realtors to SERHANT., bringing over 40 years of combined experience. Kasey Fagan of KF Real Estate and Ellen Steele of Steele Portfolio Real Estate are also joining in Austin.
