When agents consider their next brokerage, commission splits, technology and brand recognition often lead the conversation. But another question matters just as much: Who will be there when you need help?
At Christie’s Lone Star, the answer is personal. Agents have access to people who know their names, understand their businesses and make time to help.

Leadership that supports agent growth
That approach is shaped by Romeo Manzanilla, chief operating officer and principal for the company’s Texas operations and broker of record in Austin. Having led both a local independent brokerage and a large national brand, Manzanilla brings extensive leadership experience to Christie’s Lone Star, helping connect the global Christie’s International Real Estate network with responsive local support.
“Leading a large team means balancing the day-to-day needs of our agents with a long-term vision for the future. I value my affiliation with Christie’s for its strong network of talented professionals across markets, as well as the creativity and expertise of our local marketing team and staff,” said Brooke Roeder, principal of the Roeder Group at Christie’s Lone Star. “These relationships and resources complement my vision for the Roeder Group, allowing me to focus on delivering exceptional client service and creating meaningful opportunities for our agents to grow.”
People who help move your business forward
In Austin, that commitment comes to life through a team with complementary strengths. Director of Marketing Haley Pecikonis and Marketing Manager Anna Yu connect strategy with execution, supporting agents through marketing, design, company events, philanthropy and continuing education.
Director of Agents Crystal Granados guides onboarding and training and connects agents with the people and resources they need. Director of Compliance Candice Schembri helps agents meet compliance requirements, manage risk and keep transactions on track.
Together, they provide practical support and the confidence of knowing who to call.
“We’re intentional about hiring staff who are approachable, responsive and eager to help, and making sure they feel just as valued as our agents do,” Manzanilla said. “Having a real person you can sit down with, who knows you and cares about your business, makes a difference.”
For agents considering a move, visiting the office offers a chance to meet the staff, ask questions and see that support firsthand. At Christie’s Lone Star, a global network is backed by experienced local leadership and a team invested in agents’ success.
