Hedley Karpas
While some may joke that he is the “dinosaur” in the business, Hedley Karpas considers his decades of hard work and keen professional insight into the local and global real estate market to be his greatest asset. This experience comes with a long-curated network of industry experts, vendors, and clients, past and present.
After getting his real estate license while at UT Austin, Hedley put himself through school selling residential real estate and hasn’t looked back. In 1991, Hedley opened Karpas Properties, which, according to the 2007 Houston Business Journal, became Houston’s fourth-largest independent real estate brokerage. Karpas Properties soon captured the attention of trailblazing Houston real estate icon Martha Turner, and the companies merged. This allowed Hedley to retire from his management duties and return to his true first calling: working directly with clients to buy and sell their homes.
Though the industry has undergone many changes throughout Hedley’s long career, one unwavering constant has been the stellar feedback he has received from buyers and collaborators. They appreciate Hedley’s focus, diligence, and determination to make the client’s experience happy and gratifying.
Thanks to his respected history and ability to adapt with the times, Hedley has since conducted over $600 million in sales volume and has consistently reached Top Producer status, both company-wide and city-wide, for the last 10 years. Now, Hedley brings his renowned expertise and record of excellence, including his membership in the Circle of Excellence, to Compass. Make no bones about it, this industry veteran continues to leave an indelible and enduring footprint on the Houston real estate scene.
