Answers to common inquiries about luxury real estate, our services, and the art of exceptional property acquisition.
General
LUXE specializes exclusively in luxury properties, offering personalized service that goes beyond traditional real estate transactions. Our agents have decades of experience in high-end real estate, extensive networks within exclusive circles, and access to off-market listings unavailable to the general public. We understand that luxury real estate requires discretion, sophistication, and an eye for exceptional quality—values we embody in every interaction.
For buyers, our services are typically commission-free as we're compensated by the seller through the transaction. For sellers, we offer customized commission packages based on property value, location, and required services. Our rates are competitive within the luxury market and reflect the premium level of service, marketing, and expertise we provide. We believe in complete transparency and will discuss all fees during our initial consultation.
Absolutely. We have extensive experience working with international buyers and sellers, including assistance with currency exchange considerations, international wire transfers, visa requirements, and navigating foreign investment regulations. Our multilingual team can communicate in over twelve languages, and we maintain partnerships with legal and financial advisors who specialize in cross-border transactions.
Our buying process is tailored to each client's unique needs, but typically includes:
- Initial consultation to understand your preferences and requirements
- Financial pre-qualification and budget establishment
- Curated property selection including exclusive off-market listings
- Private viewings at your convenience
- Market analysis and property valuation
- Negotiation and offer preparation

For Buyers
Our luxury property portfolio typically ranges from $2 million to over $50 million, with the majority of properties falling between $5-20 million. We work with properties across various price points depending on location, amenities, and architectural significance. Whether you're seeking a sophisticated urban penthouse or a sprawling oceanfront estate, we can curate options that align with your investment goals and lifestyle aspirations.
Yes. We offer comprehensive virtual tours including 4K video walkthroughs, 3D Matterport scans, and live video consultations with our agents. For international or out-of-state clients, we can arrange detailed virtual presentations that showcase every aspect of a property. However, we always recommend an in-person viewing before finalizing any purchase to ensure the property meets your expectations in every detail.
The timeline varies depending on your specific requirements and the property market. Finding the perfect property can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Once you've identified a property and made an offer, the transaction typically takes 30-90 days to close, depending on financing arrangements, due diligence requirements, and closing preparations. For all-cash purchases, we've closed transactions in as little as two weeks. We work at your pace while ensuring no detail is overlooked.
Yes, access to off-market properties is one of our most valuable offerings. Through our extensive network and relationships within the luxury real estate community, we frequently have knowledge of exceptional properties that are not publicly listed. These pocket listings are often preferred by high-net-worth sellers who value discretion. If you're seeking ultimate privacy in your property search, off-market opportunities may be ideal for you.
For Sellers
Our marketing approach is comprehensive and tailored to each property's unique characteristics:
- Professional photography, videography, and drone footage
- 3D virtual tours and interactive floor plans
- Targeted digital advertising to qualified luxury buyers
- Features in luxury lifestyle publications and real estate journals
- Exclusive broker previews and private showings
- International marketing through our global network
- Discreet off-market approaches to qualified buyers when requested
- Custom property websites and branded marketing collateral
We conduct a comprehensive market analysis that considers recent comparable sales, current market conditions, unique property features, location premiums, and architectural significance. For luxury properties, pricing is both an art and a science—we evaluate factors beyond square footage, such as views, privacy, finishes, smart home technology, and lifestyle amenities. Our goal is to position your property to attract serious buyers while achieving the maximum value the market will bear.
Professional staging can significantly impact how quickly a property sells and at what price. We provide honest guidance on whether staging is necessary for your specific property. For furnished homes with excellent existing decor, minor styling adjustments may suffice. For vacant properties or those needing design enhancement, we work with elite staging professionals who understand luxury aesthetics. We can also coordinate pre-listing renovations or updates if they'll provide a strong return on investment.
Discretion is paramount in luxury real estate. We implement strict protocols including pre-qualified buyer verification, non-disclosure agreements when appropriate, controlled access to property information, and private showings by appointment only. For high-profile clients, we can arrange off-market sales that never appear in public listings. All photography and marketing materials are carefully reviewed to ensure security systems and sensitive details are not disclosed. Your privacy and security are our top priorities throughout the entire transaction.
Investment
Luxury real estate has historically been a strong wealth preservation vehicle and hedge against inflation. Premium properties in desirable locations tend to maintain value better than average homes during market fluctuations. However, luxury real estate should be viewed as a long-term investment—ideally 5-10 years or more. The best luxury properties appreciate due to scarcity, location, architectural significance, and ongoing demand from high-net-worth individuals. We provide detailed market analysis to help you make informed investment decisions.
Yes. We work with investors seeking luxury rental properties, vacation homes, fix-and-flip opportunities, and portfolio diversification through real estate. Our investment services include ROI analysis, rental income projections, market trend analysis, and connections to property management companies specializing in luxury rentals. Whether you're building a real estate portfolio or seeking a trophy asset, we provide the expertise and market intelligence to support your investment goals.
