About Hedley Karpas

Hedley Karpas relocated with his family from Pretoria, South Africa, to Houston, Texas, in 1980. He pursued his education at The University of Texas at Austin, where he majored in business management and became a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity. During his second year, he obtained his real estate license and began his career in residential real estate in Austin.

Upon returning to Houston, Hedley continued his focus on residential sales with a national real estate firm, consistently achieving recognition as a top producer. In the early 1990s, he became a principal at a boutique real estate firm in Houston. Within two years, he acquired his partners' shares, rebranded the company as Karpas Properties, and grew his sales team to over 60 full-time associates. By 2007, Karpas Properties was recognized as the fourth largest independent real estate brokerage in Houston by the Houston Business Journal.

In March 2008, Karpas Properties merged with Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty, allowing Hedley to return to his passion for directly assisting clients in buying and selling their homes. A dedicated professional, he has successfully completed hundreds of real estate transactions and is a proud member of the Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty Circle of Excellence and Hall of Fame. Whether collaborating with buyers on new construction or guiding sellers through the marketing of long-held family homes, Hedley exemplifies professionalism.

Hedley married Leslie Schechter Karpas, a native of Houston, in 1990, and they have two children. He has actively contributed to the community by chairing the Young Ambassadors Group and serving on the development board for SEARCH, an organization committed to ending homelessness. Additionally, he has held the position of vice president of The American Jewish Committee for two terms and, alongside Leslie, has co-chaired the AJC’s development committee. Together, they have also led events for DIFFA (Design Industry Fighting AIDS), The Nature Discovery Center, and the Jewish Federation's "Men’s Night Out." Hedley has served on the boards of the Bellaire Economic Council, Patrons for Bellaire Parks, and The Shlenker School.

Harris County, Texas stands as one of the most dynamic and complex real estate markets in the United States, encompassing Houston—the nation's fourth-largest city—along with numerous thriving suburbs and communities. With 30,096 total actively licensed agents serving this vast metropolitan area, the market represents a sophisticated ecosystem where urban high-rises, suburban developments, and industrial properties create diverse investment and residential opportunities.

All 30,096 agents maintain email contact information, indicating a tech-savvy professional community that adapts quickly to digital marketing trends and virtual transaction processes that have become essential in today's real estate environment.

Major Harris County, Texas Real Estate Markets

Houston's inner loop commands premium pricing with its mix of luxury condominiums, historic neighborhoods like River Oaks and Montrose, and rapidly gentrifying areas such as EaDo and the Heights. The Energy Corridor and Galleria districts attract corporate relocations and international buyers, while master-planned communities in Katy, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands offer family-oriented suburban living with top-rated schools and extensive amenities.

Emerging markets in Cypress, Tomball, and Pearland showcase some of the county's fastest appreciation rates, driven by new construction and infrastructure improvements. The Port of Houston's expansion continues to fuel commercial real estate demand in eastern Harris County, while the Texas Medical Center creates unique opportunities for medical office buildings and high-end residential properties catering to healthcare professionals.

Market Dynamics and Geographic Complexity

Harris County's 1,703 square miles present unique challenges that require deep local expertise, from flood plain considerations following Hurricane Harvey to understanding the nuances of MUD districts and property tax implications. The market operates across multiple price points simultaneously—luxury estates in Memorial can exceed $10 million while first-time buyer opportunities exist in areas like Aldine and Humble.

Energy sector fluctuations create cyclical patterns that savvy agents leverage for timing strategies, while the county's increasing diversification into technology, aerospace, and healthcare provides market stability. International investment, particularly from Latin America and Asia, adds complexity to transaction processes and creates demand for agents with multilingual capabilities and cross-border experience.
