Christie's International Real Estate | @properties Lone Star. A decade of Austin transactions. The agent who built Austin's first hempcrete home.
Henry Valles is a Broker Associate and REALTOR® based in Austin, Texas. Originally from Miami, Florida, he earned his BBA in Finance from St. Edward's University in 2008 before working in property management and insurance. He entered real estate full-time in 2011 and has since assisted in over 300 transactions, managed sales for multiple new-construction developments in Central Austin, and consistently ranked as a Top Producer.
Henry's distinct positioning is the intersection of luxury real estate and environmental performance — not as a marketing line, but as substantive expertise built over a decade of formal training, applied projects, and conference-level thought leadership.
In 2017, Henry led the initiative to create Austin's first hempcrete home at Community First Village, a residential community for individuals exiting chronic homelessness. The project paired biophilic, low-toxicity construction with social impact and remains a reference point in Texas hempcrete advocacy.
Henry has shared his work on hemp-based building, healthy materials, and the economics of sustainable construction at:

Henry Valles is an Austin-based luxury real estate advisor with Christie's International Real Estate | @properties Lone Star. He has over a decade of Austin real estate experience, has assisted in 300+ transactions, and specializes in green building, healthy materials, and sustainable luxury developments. Henry holds the GREEN Designation from the National Association of REALTORS® and a Healthier and Sustainable Building certification from the Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design.
Three things: (1) deep specialization — green building and healthy materials are his actual expertise, not a marketing bullet; (2) original work in the field — Henry led the creation of Austin's first hempcrete home at Community First Village in 2017 and has spoken at SXSW, SingularityU, the International Hemp Building Symposium, the University of Texas, and EarthX; (3) the Christie's network — listings receive global luxury exposure through Christie's International Real Estate.
The GREEN Designation is the National Association of REALTORS®' certification for agents trained to identify, evaluate, market, and transact homes with sustainability and high-performance features — including energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and renewable systems. It is the most recognized green-real-estate credential in the US.
The Healthy Materials Lab is a research lab at Parsons School of Design (The New School) focused on understanding and reducing toxicity in building products. The Healthier and Sustainable Building certificate trains practitioners to evaluate building products by ingredient, certification (Cradle to Cradle, Declare, Living Product Challenge), and lifecycle impact.
Henry earned his BBA in Finance from St. Edward's University in Austin in 2008. He worked in property management and insurance before entering real estate full-time in 2011.
Yes. Henry is fluent in English and Spanish, and serves clients in both languages — a meaningful advantage in Austin's bilingual market.
