Century 21 Real Estate is expanding its Houston presence with the affiliation of Goldman Meyer Properties. Broker/owner Sam Chaudhry has led the boutique firm, located in Houston’s Energy Corridor, since 2015.

A former Wall Street trader, Chaudhry began managing commercial real estate assets as a senior manager in 2006 before devoting himself to residential real estate full-time in 2009. He brings his team of affiliated sales professionals with him to Century 21, where they’ll now operate as Century 21 Energy.

“We don’t believe in making a transaction for the sake of a transaction,” Chaudhry said in a press release. “We always keep our focus on the big picture — protecting our clients’ best interest and going above and beyond to satisfy their real estate needs. Their interest comes first and if that requires putting extra effort into the deal, we’re more than willing to do so.”

“Sam and his company share many of the same core values that the Century 21 brand also represents, particularly his commitment to the betterment of the consumer,” said Mike Miedler, president and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate. “The real estate industry isn’t just about sales and dollars, it’s about people’s lives. Every transaction is the direct result of a relationship, and Sam makes sure to give every consumer the time to let them know their experience matters.”
