Why these rankings matter to sellers

High-ranking teams deliver scale, speed, and precision in the $1,000,000+ segment.

  • Pricing confidence: data-driven valuations using inventory, absorption, days on market, and price-per-foot trends for each neighborhood and building.
  • Presentation that compels: architectural-quality photography, cinematic video and drone, 3D/VR tours, and long-form copy that highlights view corridors, floor-plan utility, materials, systems, and lifestyle.

  • Maximum exposure: global syndication, Compass network reach, targeted search and social, email to private buyer lists, and agent-to-agent outreach that puts listings at the top of saved searches.

  • Contract clarity: FAR/BAR precision, proactive disclosures, pre-inspection strategies, and milestone management that reduce fall-through risk.

Why these rankings matter to buyers

Volume and specialization translate to earlier access, better guidance, and smoother closings.

  • Access: on-market, coming-soon, and private opportunities across oceanfront condos and riverfront estates on Lansing Island, Tortoise Island, The Cloisters, The Sanctuary, and Grand Canal corridors.

  • Local knowledge that protects value: schools, insurance and flood context, seawalls, lifts and docks, riparian rights, construction quality, condo reserves and SIRS/Milestone compliance.

  • Negotiation and due diligence: appraisal strategy, inspection scope, condo document review, and finance timelines that keep the deal on track.
