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.
