In just two years, Christie’s International Real Estate @properties Lone Star has transformed from a new name in Austin’s luxury real estate market into a recognized force across Texas. What began as a bold expansion has evolved into a story of rapid growth, inspired leadership, and a team whose collective success is shaping the future of real estate in the Lone Star State.
Jerry Wayne Mooty Jr., CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate Lone Star shares, “The past two years have been nothing short of extraordinary. What we’ve built here in Austin represents more than growth it’s proof that when you combine world-class talent, authentic culture, and the Christie’s standard of excellence, you create something unstoppable. We’re just getting started and this is #WhereLuxuryWins.”
A Powerful Presence Built on Excellence
Since establishing its Austin office in 2023, Christie’s Lone Star has made an undeniable mark. The brokerage’s agents have earned places among the RealTrends Verified City & State Rankings, consistently recognized among the best in Texas for their sales performance, market expertise, and commitment to clients.

Christie’s Lone Star leadership believes that true growth starts from within. Guided by Chief Operating Officer Romeo Manzanilla’s favorite saying — “Culture eats strategy for lunch” — the firm has built a foundation centered on collaboration, trust, and genuine appreciation for its people.
Agents Making Headlines
Lone Star’s story is also one of individual achievement and collective celebration. Just last month, one of the brokerage’s agents, Katie Jackson, was featured on HGTV’s “Zillow Gone Wild,” showcasing her Bouldin Creek “Treehouse” property to a national audience.
Romeo Manzanilla, COO of Christie’s International Real Estate Lone Star says, “Everything we’ve built comes down to people. Our agents, our staff, our community they’re the heartbeat of this company. Culture isn’t a buzzword for us; it’s how we show up for each other every day. When you create an environment where people feel seen, supported, and part of something bigger, success naturally follows.”
To celebrate, the Austin office hosted a lively watch party at their new North Lamar space, conveniently neighboring one of the city’s most iconic local landmarks, Waterloo Records. Surrounded by laughter and support from fellow agents, friends, and family, the event captured the essence of what makes Christie’s Lone Star so unique: a culture that genuinely celebrates each other’s wins and turns individual success into a shared moment of pride.
Empowering Through Education
At Christie’s Lone Star, success is measured by more than sales; it’s reflected in how the brokerage invests in its people. In addition to fostering a culture of recognition and celebration, the leadership team places a strong emphasis on growth and professional development.
In October, the firm hosted an exclusive Ninja Selling Installation in Austin — a four-day training designed specifically for Christie’s Lone Star agents across Texas. As the only Christie’s affiliate in the state, Christie’s Lone Star brought together agents from multiple markets under one roof for an immersive experience focused on mindset, systems, and long-term business mastery.
The event underscored the brokerage’s deep commitment to nurturing talent, strengthening collaboration across offices, and empowering agents to not only elevate their businesses but also enhance their lives. It was a defining moment that reflected the company’s belief that when you invest in your people, everyone rises together.
Looking Ahead
As Christie’s International Real Estate Lone Star celebrates its second anniversary in Austin, one thing is certain: this milestone isn’t a capstone; it’s a catalyst.
With award-winning leadership, nationally recognized agents, and a culture built on collaboration, the firm continues to raise the standard for what a modern brokerage can be. What they’ve built in two years is remarkable and it’s only the beginning.
