Editor’s Note
I
’ll always remember the first time someone told me my home was chic. The word had such a tremendous weight and resonance to it. A term to never go out of fashion, yet underused in today’s vernacular, the little four-letter-word defines timeless elegance and style. Add to the fact that the person delivering the compliment—whom I revere—thought my first home, a modest little pile of bricks on a hillside, was chic, felt like I had ‘made it’. And that felt good. In real estate, and in these pages, we are constantly curating inspirational lifestyles orbiting around ‘home’. From where to call home and how to furnish it, to how to enjoy it, we are essentially curators of all things chic. Our Fall issue embraces and celebrates this role, showcasing the properties, designers, agents, and artists that make life at home elegant and inspired. We begin in one of the epicenters of all things stylish, Milano, Italy, for a special edition of the Milan Furniture Fair. Dubbed ‘Supersalone’, the week-long, city-wide exhibition draws tens-of-thousands of design-disciples from around the globe. This year’s installment featured flexible exhibitions, modular display walls, and site-specific installations staged across the city’s galleries and piazzas. The mood? Colorful, elegant, classic, chic. Designers’ collections reflected a lockdown-inspired desire for homes to be ‘happy places’ with a nod to the glitzy ’60s, reminding us that a little glamor can go a long way. We highlight our top picks in the feature Super Suave (p.46). Closer to home, we catch up with two top-producing agents who are stewards of their respective markets in Silicon Valley and Napa Valley, learning how to prepare for wine country living (Life in the Vines, p.62), and how to compete—and win—in the uber-competitive suburbs of the SF Bay Area’s tech mecca (The Analytical Natural, p.66). We also take you behind the VIP red-velvet rope of the 44th annual Mill Valley Film Festival (p.54) for a look at the top films and filmmakers to watch at this year’s star-studded event, October 7-17th. You’ll also find a selection of the finest properties currently for sale in the Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliate network, in Property Finder (p.70). From a private island in the Bahamas, to a luxury equestrian estate in Rancho Santa Fe, California, to a Ralph Anderson masterpiece in Issaquah, Washington, we present the ultimate in living chic. Enjoy,
Kevin Daniel Dwyer Chief Marketing Officer Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty Editor-in-Chief, GATEWAY Magazine

Shade by Sowden Light
First designed in 1969 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, Cassina’s iconic Soriana seating range has been rebooted using biodegradable materials. The padding is made from BioFoam® microspheres and the updated version has a CARB certified wooden panel base. The new collection also includes a selection of chromatic combinations that match lush fabrics and soft leathers with a black, blue, burgundy, green and white painted metal frame.
Seventy-nine-year-old designer George Sowden, one of the founding members of Memphis, the ’80s radical movement that challenged modernism’s ruling aesthetic, has launched a new company and a new collection of multihued fixtures that exploit the light-diffusing, long-lasting, non-toxic properties of silicone. The initial collection includes 18 basic shapes that can be assembled into pendants, table lamps, floor lamps and mobile fixtures.

Marmini Chair by La Chance Inspired by Scott Burton’s 1980 Rock Chair, which the artist famously created by carving an L-shape into a two-ton sierra granite boulder—the Marmini lounge chair similarly blurs the lines between furniture and sculpture.

C’mon C’mon Mike Mills’ C’mon C’mon is an ode to the relationship between adults and children. It’s the story of a middleaged man learning how to take care of a kid for the first time, set against a panorama of twenty-first century American cities and issues. It’s a story of an adult learning how to treat a child’s needs, worries, and joys with full respect; learning that they are different but not less than an adult’s. Johnny (Joaquin Phoenix) and his young nephew (Woody Norman) forge a tenuous but transformational relationship when they are unexpectedly thrown together in this delicate and deeply moving story.

The Lost Daughter Written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Lost Daughter is a psychological drama based on the novel of the same name by Elena Ferrante. The film stars Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Dakota Johnson, Peter Sarsgaard, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Paul Mescal, and Ed Harris. The film centers on a woman on a summer holiday who finds herself becoming obsessed with another woman and her daughter, prompting memories of her own early motherhood to come back and unravel her. At it’s core, the film revolves around a daring and dangerous idea: It’s an exploration of what motherhood can drain from a woman—a dramatic switch from the typical glassy-eyed bromides about how rewarding it is to bear and raise children.

Dune Academy Award nominee Denis Villeneuve (“Arrival,” “Blade Runner 2049”) directs Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ “Dune,” the big-screen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal bestseller of the same name. The film stars Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Oscar nominee Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård and Oscar winner Javier Bardem. A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive. Shown here: Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides and Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica Atreides in Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ action adventure “Dune,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release.

The French Dispatch From the visionary mind of Academy Award® nominee Wes Anderson, The French Dispatch brings to life a collection of stories from the final issue of an American magazine published in a fictional 20th-century French city. It stars Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Lyna Khoudri Bill Murray and Owen Wilson. On the occasion of the death of its beloved Kansas-born editor Arthur Howitzer, Jr., the staff of The French Dispatch, a widely circulated American magazine based in the French city of Ennui-sur-Blasé, convenes to write his obituary. Memories of Howitzer flow into the creation of four stories: a travelogue of the seediest sections of the city itself from The Cycling Reporter; “The Concrete Masterpiece,” about a criminally insane painter, his guard and muse, and his ravenous dealers; “Revisions to a Manifesto,” a chronicle of love and death on the barricades at the height of student revolt; and “The Private Dining Room of the Police Commissioner,” a suspenseful tale of drugs, kidnapping and fine dining.

Cyrano Award-winning director Joe Wright envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano, re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (played by Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her — and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.).

LIFE IN THE VINES JILL LEVY
W
hen it comes to luxury estates and vineyard properties in the Napa Valley, Jill Levy is top-ofmind and the “who’s who” in real estate. With over 24 years in the business, Levy serves an impressive book of established clients and savvy buyers seeking the ultimate Wine Country lifestyle. A vineyard estate owner herself, Levy’s depth of knowledge and familiarity with living the dream serves as a major value add for her clients. Couple that with her indepth market knowledge, marketing strength, and unrivaled service, and the results for her clients are exceptional. In 2020, Levy facilitated over 36 transactions and closed $92,600,000 in sales volume, making her the number one agent in Wine County at Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty, and named one of the top agents nationally by Wall Street Journal’s “Leading 1000”. In 2021, Levy is set to break her own records, with 29 transactions closed and $83,00,000 in sales volume year-to-date. We sit down with Levy at one of her currently for sale vineyard estates, 245 Kreuzer Lane in Napa, to learn more about her passion for real estate, how she serves her clients, and the state of the Wine Country market. Jill, you’ve had an incredible past few years of being Napa Valley’s top
62
real estate agent for luxury properties. How did you get to this moment in your career? A lot of old fashioned hard work. I built a business based on my track record of closing sales, referrals from my clients, and procuring new business through extensive marketing. This business is all about relationships, and that requires relentless follow up and communication. When all these factors combine, I deliver. Delivering to my clients is what I value most, and that’s what sets me apart from others in this highly competitive market. It also helps that you live the lifestyle you are helping to steward, right? Absolutely. I actually own a vineyard estate with an 11-acre Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard and live the Napa Valley lifestyle. I am very experienced with all things “country property,” and have a lot of personal and professional experience dealing with things such as wells, septic systems, vineyard management, etc. You really have to know what you’re getting into when you make this type of a lifestyle purchase, and my first-hand knowledge translates to informing my clients. Tell us about the areas you serve in Wine Country. I am lucky to serve and work throughout
the entire Napa Valley. I love selling Napa Valley real estate as it’s the perfect combination of luxury and an agrarian lifestyle. The entire valley is in demand, however, the town of Napa seems to be extremely popular with a current buyer demographic ranging in age from 30 to 50 years old, from the SF Bay Area, very affluent, and working in technology. Napa now offers more and more amazing restaurants, music, and events, in addition to its natural beauty and draw, so that has helped with urbanbased buyers relocating or looking for a second home here. Of course, Yountville and the Upper Valley market where I live—especially St Helena—are still extremely desirable as these locations have always been the heart of the Wine Country. When did you get your first breakthrough in the business? Probably my first record sale. I was asked to partner with a realtor who had been in the business for over 25 years at the time. He felt he needed my marketing and sales experience to get the property over the finish line. The property closed above $12 million and was a very successful transaction. After this transaction, I was able to retain relationships with both the buyer and the seller, which have resulted in many more transactions with each over the past several years.

Tell us more about your clientele and why they want to work with you. I love working with people, and this business allows me to connect with amazing people every day. I take pride in that. From my clients’ perspective, they are seeking my services because they feel I offer the best in marketing, and my sales track record speaks for itself. When it comes to luxury properties, I have an excellent referral base and reputation for setting record sales. I think my clients are drawn to this, and the results are exceptional. How do you deliver exceptional results? What’s your ultimate value add to clients? I cannot express enough how important—especially in this market— it is to be represented by a realtor with a wealth of experience and an exemplary track record. After 24 years in the business, I’ve seen it all
64
and know how to handle most situations that arise. One of the keys to a successful transaction is to anticipate and prepare for the likely problems. I usually know going into a transaction where the weak parts are. By identifying these issues and talking about them in advance, we can either avoid the problem or handle it better when it occurs. It’s all about experience, foresight, and negotiation. What advice do you have for buyers and sellers right now? For sellers, I always recommend they prepare their property thoroughly for sale including decluttering which we call “editing,” painting, refreshing landscaping, staging, and, of course, completing all required inspection reports upfront. All properties have repair issues… If sellers know what the repair issues are in advance and have inspection reports on file for the buyers, they can negotiate from the start rather than waiting until the property is under contract. Buyers will sign off on known
repair issues up front, but do not like surprises along the way. As for buyers, they need to have proof of their cash on hand, as well as the ability to obtain any required financing. Because inventory is so low, I am trying to get out in front of inventory for my buyers and find properties before they hit the open market. Having the financials preapproved and ready is critical in this market.

THE ANALYTICAL NATURAL ALEX BOUJA
T
here are plenty of reasons to be thankful for owning a home in Silicon Valley and the Peninsula—the natural beauty, proximity to high-paying jobs, top-rated schools, access to nature, and a lifestyle that rivals the best in the country. Inventory is fixed and demand is high, and that makes buying and selling a home here more competitive. In such an environment, having a trusted advisor and realtor that can help you navigate the market is critical. Enter Alex Bouja, an analytical natural and a top producing real estate agent at Golden Gate Sotheby’s Intentional Realty. A Los Altos native known for his strategic approach to real estate, Bouja has been involved in many significant sales in the region, from Los Gatos, to Woodside, and everywhere in between. His own road to real estate began at a young age. His father owned multiple rental properties and from his earliest days he recalls being fascinated with buying, renovating, and selling real estate. “I spent a lot of time growing
66
up working on our rental properties and remodeling projects. I obtained my real estate license in 2006 because I wanted to access raw data to make my own risk analysis on properties I was looking to purchase,” recalls Bouja. His professional career took him on a path away from real estate for several years as he conducted business and traveled internationally. After leaving “high tech” in 2013, Bouja began selling real estate full time, and the switch has proven a natural career path. This year alone, he has already closed over $60 million in sales volume and is on track to finish 2021 near $80+ million. Bouja has developed a reputation for concierge service at every price point, from initial consultation, to home preparation, to marketing, to sales and negotiation. He has years of experience in managing an entire team of professionals that make it possible, a network he prides himself in establishing and working with: “I have a small army of approved and trusted vendors across almost every trade possible who I work with to help prepare and get a home to market as fast as possible, with little-to-no impact on the seller.” His management of this team is what makes it all possible.
The results have established him as a trusted advisor to his customers, helping them maximize the return on their investments by achieving the highest sale price. The trajectory of Bouja has been exponential in the past three years, an achievement he credits to his current brokerage. “Joining Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty was the best thing I ever did for my career. I’d worked at two previous brokerages, both who claimed they were #1. Each office had over 200 agents, but I found that maybe 15 agents sold more than $25 million a year. While I had met some great people, very few agents collaborated, referred business, and absolutely zero leads or referrals ever came from management or other agents. The Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty brand, our management, marketing, operations and support network is unrivaled, and our customers feel that firsthand on every transaction. It allows me to be my best and provide the best service possible. I am proud of this, and my customers benefit directly from this.”

His professional formula is clearly working. Since joining the brokerage in April 2019, Bouja grew his business from $23 million in 2019, to $39 million in 2020, and is well on his way to $80+ million in 2021. That’s roughly a 200 percent increase year-over-year for three years in a row. In this business, the numbers speak volumes, and discerning clientele are watching. “Buyers and sellers are extremely busy with work and life these days. Now more than ever, my customers want information they don’t have access to online,” says Bouja. Whether that’s off-market sales, pending pricing, overall movement in the market, number of offers and contingencies, or which lender to choose and how their programs are different, his customers are also increasingly analytical. “They expect me to work the same hours they do in
68
Tech and respond within minutes, seven days a week. They rely heavily on my knowledge, and my relationships with other realtors, lenders, and contractors. They want to be educated so they are comfortable spending the money they are spending in our local market. They want to know exactly what renovations to make to maximize their return on investment. And I’m their advisor on all the above,” says Bouja humbly. “I’m more than happy to do so, because buyers and sellers appreciate, too.” Advising buyers in the current market is essential. Most importantly, Bouja tells buyers to make a list of the top-ten musthave items they want in a home. When you find something with seven out of those ten, you buy it. “Nothing will ever be perfect, so stop looking for it,” Bouja reminds us. Buyers also need to stop asking lenders “what’s your rate” as the only qualifier, noting we are in a unique
market with of variety of buyers, jobs, pay, stock, visa status, and price points. It’s also critical that buyers understand the buying process: “You need to know what the sellers look at and consider when reviewing multiple offers. Knowing your competition and knowing what it takes to win is key.” Bouja also notes that his customers are changing, too, from a 50/50 spilt between buyers and sellers, to nearly 90 percent sellers. His number one piece of advice for sellers: “Find a realtor who listens well and that you can easily communicate with. You will be spending more time together than you ever imagined!”
