Key Takeaways
Privacy & Discretion
High-profile clients expect agents to operate with airtight confidentiality, often dealing with off-market properties and NDAs.
Luxury Market Expertise
These deals focus on trophy assets: penthouses, gated estates, waterfront compounds, and exclusive enclaves in NYC, Miami, LA, and abroad.
Security & Lifestyle Fit
Beyond luxury, properties must meet security requirements and align with lifestyle needs—training facilities, easy access to stadiums, or international travel hubs.
Relocation as Full Service
Successful agents provide concierge-style relocation: handling moving logistics, school searches, insurance, staff, and community integration.
Global Reach
With careers spanning continents, these clients demand agents who can navigate international transactions and build bridges between markets.
