"Affluent families are no longer driven solely by lifestyle or prestige; they focus on security, legal reliability, and long-term strategy. Increasingly, they're making quiet moves to place capital in jurisdictions that protect rights and offer geopolitical continuity."

John Eric, Co-Managing Partner of The Luxury Collective (UK)

From Network to Nexus

The new International Collective Division of REALM® reflects a sophisticated evolution in luxury real estate advisory — an invitation-only cohort of cross-border specialists fluent in the nuanced needs of clients who think in currencies, not countries.

In her foreword, REALM Founder Julie Faupel sets the tone for this new era:
"Real estate is no longer simply an asset class; it is an anchor point for lifestyle, legacy, and leverage."

These advisors are not just agents — they are private client strategists, equipped to guide the globally affluent through the complexities of tax law, residency, legacy planning, and identity preservation through property.

Data-Driven Prestige

The report profiles over 430,000 UHNW individuals with real estate holdings around the world, offering a data-rich view of where — and why — they live, invest, and connect. From Aspen to Abu Dhabi, Lisbon to London, the motivations are as nuanced as the markets.

The role of REALM® in convening these insights is more than symbolic. Its member contributions form the backbone of the report's qualitative depth — quotes, regional perspectives, and lifestyle observations that no dataset alone could reveal.

Markets Redefined

While New York, Miami, and Monaco continue to dominate by footprint and density, the report also identifies lifestyle-driven markets gaining favor: Aspen, where one in four wealthy homeowners are deeply involved in philanthropic work; Lisbon, now on the radar of American UHNW buyers; and Abu Dhabi, drawing younger industrial wealth.

These aren't just hotspots — they're indicators of a wealth class in motion, reshaping geography with intention and influence.

REALM: The Pulse of Global Luxury Real Estate

As geopolitical currents shift and wealth becomes more borderless, REALM is defining what it means to serve today's luxury clientele. It offers more than market access — it offers a peerage. A community where advisory excellence is table stakes and global fluency is the norm.

As John Eric, Co-Managing Partner of The Luxury Collective (UK), notes:
"Affluent families are no longer driven solely by lifestyle or prestige; they focus on security, legal reliability, and long-term strategy. Increasingly, they're making quiet moves to place capital in jurisdictions that protect rights and offer geopolitical continuity."
This white paper isn't just a snapshot of the market — it's a global signal. The next chapter of global luxury real estate belongs to those who, like REALM, lead with intelligence, discretion, and relational capital.

Key Highlights from the Altrata x REALM 2025 White Paper

Residential Real Estate 2025: Spotlight on the World's Leading Markets for the Wealthy

REALM as Global Thought Leader
REALM emerges as the definitive voice in luxury property advisory, with its members providing expert insights throughout the white paper. The launch of the REALM International Collective™ reflects a new standard in cross-border, client-first real estate intelligence.

UHNW Residential Footprint by the Numbers
New York leads globally with over 33,000 ultra wealthy residents or second-home owners, followed by Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Miami. Monaco has the highest UHNW density in the world, with one UHNW individual for every 22 residents.

Rise of the Strategic Secondary Home
Miami tops the global list for UHNW second-home ownership, while Aspen and Naples (FL) boast some of the highest concentrations of ultra wealthy homeowners in the U.S.

A More Mobile, Diversified Elite
UHNW individuals now own an average of three luxury properties, with 17% holding commercial interests abroad and 14% completing higher education outside their home countries — signaling unprecedented mobility.

New Markets of Influence
Emerging destinations like Lisbon, Abu Dhabi, and Aspen show growing appeal due to their lifestyle, tax, and philanthropic alignment with UHNW values.

Real Estate as a Strategic Tool
More than an asset, luxury real estate has become a vehicle for legacy planning, lifestyle design, and global resilience, especially in the face of geopolitical and economic volatility.

Client Archetype Shift
The UHNW client of today "thinks in currencies, not countries," as REALM Founder Julie Faupel notes. They demand advisory-level guidance — not transactions — and expect fluency across tax jurisdictions, cultural nuance, and lifestyle dynamics.

"The buyers we're seeing aren't just purchasing property, they're investing in a vision of how they want to live—whether that's a second home for multi-generational gathering or a legacy property that will appreciate over time."

White Sand Markets: Intelligence from the Shore

Leading this aerial exploration is Allison Richards, Principal of The Richards Group 30A | Compass and a distinguished REALM Member whose intimate knowledge of the region has positioned her as the go-to advisor for luxury buyers seeking their slice of the Emerald Coast. Through The Richards Group 30A, her boutique practice within Compass, Richards has built a reputation for understanding not just property values, but the intangible qualities that make 30A so coveted among affluent buyers. Her expertise extends far beyond typical market metrics; she understands the subtle dynamics that drive purchasing decisions in this lifestyle-focused market.

"The buyers we're seeing aren't just purchasing property," Richards explains during the filmed conversation. "They're investing in a vision of how they want to live—whether that's a second home for multi-generational gathering or a legacy property that will appreciate over time."

Her client base reflects the migration patterns reshaping luxury real estate across the South. Primary feeder markets including New York, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Houston, and Chicago continue to fuel demand, with buyers drawn to 30A's unique combination of privacy, architectural sophistication, and long-term value proposition.

Waves of Wealth: Where Investment Meets Emerald Coast Living

What distinguishes Richards and The Richards Group 30A in this competitive landscape is her ability to translate lifestyle aspirations into sound investment strategy. Operating within the Compass ecosystem while maintaining the personalized approach of a boutique practice, Richards leverages both cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned relationship building. As a REALM® Global Member, she brings both hyperlocal expertise and global connectivity—a combination that proves invaluable when navigating the nuances of luxury real estate in emerging markets.

The 30A market requires this dual perspective. While the region's natural beauty provides the initial draw, successful transactions depend on understanding micro-market dynamics, architectural trends, and the evolving preferences of high-net-worth individuals seeking authenticity over ostentation.

Coastal Cinematography: Marketing Paradise Properties

The Location Luxe episode, produced in partnership with Sandow Studios, represents a new approach to luxury real estate marketing—one that prioritizes storytelling over specification sheets. By combining aerial cinematography with thoughtful market analysis, the production captures both the emotional appeal and investment rationale that drive 30A's continued growth.

This narrative approach reflects broader shifts in how luxury properties are marketed and sold. Today's affluent buyers seek experiences and stories, not merely square footage and amenities. They want to understand not just what they're purchasing, but why a particular location or property will enhance their lifestyle and portfolio.

Rising Tides Lift Luxury Beach Towns

The 30A phenomenon speaks to larger trends reshaping American luxury real estate. As remote work capabilities expand and lifestyle priorities shift, secondary markets with exceptional natural amenities and thoughtful development are commanding premium prices and sustained attention from sophisticated buyers.

Richards and The Richards Group 30A's success in this environment demonstrates the importance of local expertise in an increasingly global marketplace. Her ability to provide context—from zoning considerations to community dynamics—proves essential for buyers navigating their first purchase in the region. The combination of Compass's technological resources and Richards' intimate market knowledge creates a powerful advantage for clients seeking to understand both the immediate opportunity and long-term potential of 30A properties.
The helicopter tour that opens this Location Luxe episode serves as an apt metaphor for the elevated perspective required in today's luxury market. Success demands the ability to see both the forest and the trees, to understand how individual properties fit within broader market narratives and lifestyle trends.

As the rotors wind down and the aircraft settles back to earth, one thing becomes clear: 30A's appeal lies not in any single attribute, but in the seamless integration of natural beauty, thoughtful development, wellness and lifestyle affinities, and the kind of insider expertise that can transform a property search into a lifestyle investment.

Available to REALM Members as a premium member benefit, Location Luxe demonstrates how cinematic storytelling can illuminate market opportunities, offering viewers both aspiration and insight into one of America's most dynamic luxury coastal markets.

"Alta Capital and Bozeman Yards are very excited to partner with the REALM community," shared Scott Baldasare CEO Alta Capital. "We've been impressed by the strength of this network and its power to create mutual success between members and new developments. We see an incredible opportunity to connect with the industry's best agents at REALM to share our one-of-a-kind project in advance of public sales launch.

The journey began on the rooftop of The Armory, Bozeman's boutique hotel, where panoramic views and mountain air set the tone for what followed: a private dinner at one of Bozeman's most celebrated restaurants, a true Western rodeo under the stars, and a site tour through the arts district into the future grounds of Bozeman Yards. The following day unfolded into a venture through Paradise Valley—a morning hike to Pine Creek Falls, alfresco dining by the Yellowstone River, and an evening spent discovering the local art and design culture that defines the region.

But the true story lies in what happened behind the scenes: exclusive early access, invitation-only pricing, and an intentional design to connect high-performing agents with high-potential development—before the public ever sees it.

"Alta Capital and Bozeman Yards are very excited to partner with the REALM community," shared Scott Baldasare CEO Alta Capital. "We've been impressed by the strength of this network and its power to create mutual success between members and new developments. We see an incredible opportunity to connect with the industry's best agents at REALM to share our one-of-a-kind project in advance of public sales launch.

This approach is already proving successful—by offering REALM agents exclusive friends and investor pricing on a pre-market basis, we're seeing remarkable interest and pre-sales activity. If we could choose just one group to offer this exclusive opportunity to before our public launch, the early results confirm that REALM is exactly the right community to partner with.

We're excited to continue building this mutually beneficial partnership and to see continued sales activity at Bozeman Yards through the REALM community."

This marks the latest activation of REALM Residences, an invitation-only development alliance designed to bring world-class projects into the hands of discerning luxury real estate professionals through high-touch, early access initiatives. More than a marketing channel, REALM Residences acts as a strategic accelerator—pairing extraordinary properties with the right ambassadors and clientele, before the rest of the world even knows it's on the market.

A distinguished group of REALM Residences Ambassadors—recognized top producers in strategic feeder markets—are now activating their private networks on behalf of Bozeman Yards. These advisors were thoughtfully selected through REALM's proprietary Wealth Intelligence platform, which identifies optimal alignment between market demand and luxury buyer personas. Their clients are sophisticated, lifestyle-driven, and seeking refined second-home opportunities in emerging mountain markets—making Bozeman Yards an ideal match.

This curated ambassador cohort includes:

Scott Baldasare, Jason Basye, Alek Carrera, Jennifer Egbert, Matt Sevenau, Stan Kniss, Annie Clougherty, Jennifer Gilson, Jennifer Banner, Karen Seitz, Paige Dooley, Toni Haber, Ross Seligman, Kim Assaad, Mark Assaad, Diane Kink, Bridget Ramey, David Hogan, Malia Nobrega, Matt Faupel, Monica Monson, Sherri Anne Green, and Angelica Franco.

Representing markets from Southern and Northern California, Texas, Colorado, New York, Wyoming, and Florida to the Pacific Northwest and internationally, these advisors are bringing Bozeman Yards to life within their spheres of influence—offering select clients the opportunity to engage with the project before it ever reaches the broader market.

Each award category reflects a dimension of what it means to lead today—not alone, but alongside a network of peers who believe in raising the bar together.

Why Industry Recognition Must Evolve

REALM was built with a singular purpose: to serve the elite real estate advisor operating at the highest level—not just as a top producer, but as a trusted steward of their client's lifestyle, investments, and legacy.

That calling requires a different standard of excellence. Quality over quantity.

We believe that recognition should reflect the values we want to see more of in this business: integrity, generosity, global thinking, and collaborative leadership. As the industry continues to shift—from brokerage-first to advisor-first, from volume to value—we must celebrate the individuals and partners who are rising to that challenge.

The CROWN Awards represent this evolution. Each award category reflects a dimension of what it means to lead today—not alone, but alongside a network of peers who believe in raising the bar together.

The Power of the REALM Network

With over 550 top-producing advisors in 14 countries, REALM is not a traditional network—it's a curated ecosystem. Members represent over 100 luxury brands and have collectively contributed to more than $9 billion in collaborative real estate activity this year alone.

Through our proprietary Lifestyle & Wealth Intelligence platform, members access more than just data—they access each other. And that access has redefined the way high-net-worth clients are served, properties are matched, and referrals are earned.

In a space where competition often overshadows connection, REALM members are choosing the opposite: collaboration at the highest level.

"With almost three decades of luxury real estate experience in Telluride, I can clearly see that this is the start of a new chapter in our market."

A New Chapter in Telluride: Luxury Mountain Living Reaches New Heights WITH FOUR SEASONS ARRIVAL

Even as it continues to rise as one of the most desirable mountain destinations in the world, Telluride still feels like a well-kept secret. The historic town is nestled in a box canyon surrounded by the famed soaring peaks of southwest Colorado. It is remote in the best ways, and the expansive grandeur of the landscape offers space for a slower cadence. In a world where life keeps getting faster, Telluride seems to help stretch time a bit.

Working in this premier luxury second home market, my clients come from all parts of the country. And, with each new ultra-high-net-worth client I meet, I hear the same refrain: life is busy. Everyone is searching for time – time to breathe, time to play, and especially time to enjoy the ones they love.

I am grateful for the life I have built here and for the ability to share this special place with others who appreciate all that our exclusive community has to offer. Telluride is a real town with heart and soul, filled with hard-working people who prioritize their quality of life.

Our luxury real estate market, like many prestigious vacation towns, absorbed an influx of affluent buyers hunting for refuge after 2020, spurred by the ability to work remotely along with historically low interest rates. Mountain luxury markets surged, plateaued, and are now trying to find their footing again.

Telluride's Luxury Market Evolution

Real estate brokers will tell you: real estate is local. Markets are not uniform across the board, and they can move in different directions over certain time periods. And, while many other resort towns are now just consolidating gains from the recent boom, Telluride is entering an unprecedented new chapter in luxury mountain living.

The upcoming Four Seasons Resort and Residences, slated to break ground this year, promises to be the most transformative development the town has seen since the construction of the Madeline Hotel over 15 years ago.

With almost three decades of luxury real estate experience in Telluride, I can clearly see that this is the start of a new chapter in our market. It is big news and is a catalyst that will move real estate prices in Telluride's already exclusive market.

FOUR SEASONS EFFECT ON TELLURIDE PROPERTY VALUES

Known for attracting a discerning clientele, the Four Seasons will bring a new level of service, exclusivity, and attention to detail. The Four Seasons' traveler and investor values privacy, tranquility, and authenticity—qualities Telluride has in abundance.

The Four Seasons' investment in Telluride is a signal – an important vote of confidence about our market prospects and future property appreciation.

Uncrowded Slopes: Telluride's Private Ski Experience

For many ski mountains, an unfortunate consequence of the mountain-town real estate boom, coupled with the widespread popularity of the Epic and Ikon passes, was a shift from a near-magical experience of skiing to one that feels more like a lesson in patience, stranded in long lift lines and dodging others on increasingly crowded slopes. This reality has sent some looking for a solution at private ski clubs around the Mountain West.

Luckily, Telluride is different. Telluride has no drive-up traffic. There's no sprawling suburban base, no highway funneling weekenders into town. It's not on the way to anywhere else, and that's what keeps it special. With limited residential development and a lift system designed for far more skiers than it currently serves, Telluride feels like a private ski area. We charge down the slopes and ski right up to the lifts; a wait of more than five minutes will elicit grumbles from locals.

We're on the cusp of a new level of luxury mountain experience in Telluride, and it's exciting to welcome those who will appreciate all that we value in Telluride – blue skies, crisp and clean mountain air, bright stars in the night sky, and dramatic mountain vistas that inspire us and remind us of our place in the world and what really matters.

In Telluride, you'll feel the change. Discover what luxury mountain living is like when you give yourself permission to slow down.
