By Candy Evans / January 12, 2014 /

Looks like I am going to have to put Houston Real Estate on my Google alerts. Found out last night from a Martha Turner agent that one of the oldest, and most successful high-end independent real estate brokerages in Houston has been swooped up by Sotheby’s International Realty Inc. of New York. Yes, Martha Turner Properties, which closed more than $2 billion in sales volume last year, has been acquired by Sotheby’s. The new firm will operate as Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty. All six Houston-area offices, and of course all 220 associates, are retained in the deal. According to the Houston Chronicle, MTP’s founder, Martha Turner, and biz partner Tom Anderson will stay on as co-presidents of the company.
