Christie’s International Real Estate is entering Austin, Texas, with a new affiliate owned and operated by Jerry Mooty, Jr., the luxury firm has informed Inman exclusively.

The new location, which will be known as @properties Christie’s International Real Estate Austin, has backing from the family of Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, who also happens to be Mooty’s uncle.

Romeo Manzanilla will serve at the new location as principal, chief operating officer and broker of record.

“With Christie’s International Real Estate’s unparalleled affiliate network, and @properties’ best-in-class pl@tform technology, our firm will offer an unmatched experience for Austin agents and clients,” Mooty said in a statement. “We plan to hit the ground running with Romeo and a fast-growing team of highly regarded agents to raise the bar for service in the Austin market, especially at the high end.”

Mooty also owns @properties Christie’s International Real Estate offices in Dallas and Frisco. In the less than two years since opening operations in the Dallas metro area, he has grown his agent count to a total of nearly 80 agents.

Manzanilla has long held a presence in Austin’s real estate market, having worked at Realty Austin for about 15 years. He also served as regional vice president for Compass for about one year and has held positions on the Austin Board of Realtors and Texas Realtors’ Board of Directors. He has also been serving on the National Association of Realtors’ Board of Directors since January 2022.
