Brian Shemirani – Houston Agent Magazine

Named one of the Top 20 Rising Stars Under 40 in Houston Real Estate in 2023 by HAR.com (Houston Association of Realtors), Brian Shemirani is adamant about not taking himself too seriously. “I’m professional and experienced, but I also make sure my clients have a positive, upbeat experience throughout the process,” he says. Shemirani, a self-proclaimed “Southern Persian-American gentleman,” at just 30 years old, has been quietly making waves in Houston real estate since 2016.

Having gained extensive experience as the new Head of Development at CitiQuest Properties, Shemirani recently formed his own team called Odyssey Group, creating the opportunity to lead a group of young rising stars within ‘CQ’. Specializing in development consulting and planning, land acquisition and new construction marketing and sales, he represents builders, developers, investors, business owners, sellers and buyers in the Inner Loop Houston, Sugar Land, Missouri City and Galveston.

A member of HAR’s Government Affairs Advisory Group and Political Affairs Committee, Shemirani supports HAR’s Young Professionals Network, Habitat for Humanity, Houston Food Bank, Kids Meals, and Candlelighters. He also volunteered for John Whitmire’s campaign for mayor of Houston and for Edward Pollard for City Council District J campaign. “I have had the privilege of helping shape and create entire micro-markets and thriving communities, giving me a front-row seat to seeing Houston’s new development space become what it is today Today,” he said. “This gives me a ton of data to accurately advise clients on the present and future of this space.”

With a newfound obsession with learning polo, Shemirani recently began lessons with a professional polo instructor in hopes of eventually playing for a local league near Houston. When he is not working or spending time with his two young daughters, he also enjoys art, working out, golfing, being outdoors, and traveling.
