Frequently Asked Questions
What defines "luxury" real estate?
Generally $1M+ depending on market, but true luxury is defined by location, quality of finishes, views, privacy, amenities, and the overall lifestyle offered. In premier markets like NYC or London, luxury starts at $5M+.
Should I use a luxury specialist or any top agent?
Luxury specialists understand the nuances of high-end transactions: privacy concerns, complex financing, art and wine collections, international buyers, and negotiation at scale. Their network often unlocks off-market opportunities.
What is a pocket listing?
A property available for sale but not publicly listed on MLS. These exclusive opportunities are shared within agent networks and represent 10-20% of luxury transactions in prime markets.
How do buyer agents get paid?
Typically the seller pays both agents (total 5-6% commission split). As a buyer, you usually pay nothing out of pocket for representation. Some high-end agents charge retainers for complex searches.
What are the hottest luxury markets in 2026?
Miami (+12%), Dubai (+15%), and Los Angeles (+8%) lead growth. NYC and London remain stable blue-chip markets. Aspen, the Hamptons, and Malibu continue to see strong demand for second homes.
