WELCOME TO

Spring is always a season of rebirth. This year, however, seems a particularly good year for a reset. As markets continue to rebalance, so do we. The Spring 2023 issue features our annual luxury real estate outlook. Listen to some reports, and it would seem the real estate market has begun a steep slide off a cliff. But talk to our agents in the field, particularly luxury veterans, and the story is quite different. Experts are citing a more balanced market, with a return to dynamics that vary by location. We look at six of those locations in that outlook, starting on page 6. Did we select your market?

No matter where you are, though, certain fundamentals are the same. At Keller Williams Realty, we’re fortunate to have Executive Chairman of the Board Gary Keller leading us through the inevitable ups and downs of real estate, and life.

WHEN A MARKET SHIFTS, THERE IS ONLY ONE THING TO DO — SHIFT WITH IT. IN TRUTH, THERE ARE TWO SHIFTS YOU MUST MAKE. A MENTAL SHIFT AND AN ACTION SHIFT.

The Outlook for 2023

By Camilla McLaughlin

Experts are reporting a more balanced market, with a return to dynamics that vary by location. Here we look at 6 prominent regions.

Looking ahead, economists tentatively call for a soft landing for the economy and housing, even though they agree that the luxury market will be somewhat insulated from dramatic changes.

Listen to some media reports, and it would seem the real estate market has begun a steep slide in the magnitude of falling off a cliff. But talk to experts in the field, particularly luxury veterans, and the story is quite different. Instead of a massive decline in prices, they reference an adjustment in the number of sales. Prices might be off the highs of early 2022 in some places. Almost everywhere else, they hover near or exceed 2021’s highs. Expectations are that real estate in 2022 will close out with a 9.6% gain in overall median prices.

“We’re still much higher than we were pre-COVID; it’s just the trajectory isn’t as steep as it used to be,” shares Caroline Huo, Keller Williams Peninsula Estates in the San Francisco Bay Area. “People are saying, ‘Oh, it’s a buyers’ market; the sky is falling.’ It really isn’t, and I am excited because it’s much more of a balanced market,” shares Huo, who is also director of professional development for Keller Williams Luxury.

“We’re going through a reset, a recalibration if you would. We’re still very much a sellers’ market,” she observes. Properties in the area are still selling with multiple offers over asking prices. Forecasts call for a 10-percent price increase in 2022 for the region.

And instead of Armageddon, Huo sees the current status as a market of opportunities. “Here in the Bay Area, we have not seen buyer opportunities like this in the last 10 or 11 years.”

Microlocal

The timeworn adage — location, location, location — matters more than in recent years. Hyperlocal might be more apt as price segments, property types and local economies have greater influence. Looking ahead, National Association of Realtors chief economist Lawrence Yun expects, “Half the country may experience small price gains, while the other half may see slight price declines.”

“Every location has its own unique story and circumstances. When a market is shifting, all those factors become more essential,” shares Matt Leiva of Keller Williams Chantilly Ventures.

Washington, D.C. Metro

In Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas, there is less change in luxury than in the overall market. In part, Leiva says, this is based on the high average price point of the region as well as an unending influx of newcomers. “Luxury buyers here are not buying based on monthly expenses,” he says, noting a 5- or 6-percent interest rate appears to have little impact on the high end. Inventory remains very low. Days on market in the area, including the Maryland suburbs, range from 7 to 12 days, according to data from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. The pandemic headline was “the number of properties sold and how fast those properties sold. With the change, the headline has become who is buying, what they purchased, and, most importantly, why they bought,” says Brady Sandahl of Keller Williams Palm Springs, who also serves as director of growth for Keller Williams Luxury. “During the pandemic, buyers fell in love with the rate and used the rates to justify inadequacies with the house. Today, they have to fall in love with the house.”

Nashville

“What’s interesting for us is the number of luxury sales this month is almost identical to this time last year,” says Alex Brandau with Keller Williams Realty in Nashville. “What has changed is more homes are on the market, especially compared to the end of 2021. Top to bottom, our market is still a sellers’ market, only carrying threeand-a-half months total inventory across all price ranges in Middle Tennessee.”

A majority of the luxury markets tracked by the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing (ILHM) are still considered buyers’ markets. Others are deemed sellers’ markets, and a few are balanced. Homes are selling as quickly as 7 to 12 days in the Bay Area, while the Aspen inventory is projected to take years.

Palm Springs

“Buyers continue to buy, but it’s a different type of buyer,” Sandahl shares. Rather than looking for a safe haven to avoid the pandemic, people today are buying to experience pleasure or opportunity. “We’ve returned to the primary buyer pool we experienced before the pandemic. They’re buying into the Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley lifestyle. For luxury, the lifestyle aspect of purchasing is more significant than the interest rate,” he says.

Austin

The cool down in Austin feels chillier than data suggests as one of the hottest pandemic markets moves toward balance. Days on market continue to increase, but still hover around three months. Agent skills, particularly working with sellers, are critical. “It takes a good, strong agent working with a strong lender” to educate sellers on ways to lower costs for potential buyers,” says Eric Copper, a founding member of the Keller Williams Luxury division.

What’s Back?

More than buyer motivations and sales characterize the overall market. Here’s what to expect:

The 30- to 90-day pause will continue. During the pandemic, agents report it often took time to grasp the impact of changes. Today, buyers often stay on the sidelines, taking a pause while they absorb rate increases.

Negotiations: No one is waiving inspections today. Agents advise sellers not to be surprised by another round of negotiations after the contract is signed, often following inspections or due diligence.

Realistic Pricing: Aspirational prices are passé, but so are lowball offers.

Asheville

“Here, the seller versus buyer market status flips depending on the price point. If we stopped listing homes, we would be out of million-dollar homes to sell in four months,” says Bill DeVore of Keller Williams Asheville. Potential buyers from more expensive regions continue to gravitate here, and DeVore says they are almost always surprised by the prices and taxes.

Luxury buyers in some markets may not be searching for personal homes. Instead, investment properties are in demand, including single-family homes. Demand for potential Airbnb properties is strong in Asheville.

Miami

Upscale buyers today look at real estate as an asset rather than a primary or resort home. Miami achieved platinum status, perceived as a top luxury enclave internationally. Kathrin Rein of Keller Williams Miami Beach is seeing more buyers, both local and international, even though she sees the market plateauing slightly. “Prices are still going up, but not as much as the last three years.” Miami Association of Realtors data shows the overall median sold price down by 2.6 percent, but up over 11 percent year-over-year.

Private Listings: “We’re in a market right now where we have more private listings than we’ve ever had,” shares Sandahl. Sellers want to test their price.

Mortgage Hacks: Look for a growing number of strategies to lower rates, from ARMs to buy downs.

Looking ahead, there are so many wildcards and uncertainties that it’s hard to foresee anything other than the next month or two. There is concern among economists that tech layoffs will have a bigger impact on a few hot markets. NAR’s Yun anticipates a return of buyers, noting interest rates rather than confidence in real estate is keeping buyers on the sidelines.

A Fresh Start

By Roger Grody

Ashumans, it is entirely natural to constantly be contemplating a move to a different location perceived to offer a better quality of life, whether that be a suburban subdivision or exotic destination halfway across the globe. The pandemic taught us how easily that kind of transition can be achieved, without even compromising one’s income. Most fear-induced flight has now subsided, but wanderlust continues to drive people to promising new destinations.

Some major companies have not fully recalled employees back to the office, and others have adopted policies allowing people to continue working remotely. It is no longer unusual for executives to negotiate deals requiring their

presence at corporate headquarters just a few days per month. That flexibility allows people to work from Big Sky Country, the Florida Keys or even the Costa del Sol instead of making daily commutes to Manhattan.

Some of the real estate markets that exploded during the pandemic were idyllic resort destinations such as Lake Placid, New York or Taos, New Mexico. Other seasonal or weekend getaways like Palm Springs, California and Cape Cod, Massachusetts were suddenly considered for primary residences. The flight from big cities has largely dissipated as COVID-19 has become manageable — and younger professionals will always gravitate to urban energy — but Americans are not likely to abandon their

The pandemic triggered an exodus from central cities to outlying suburbs, or even distant countries, and some migrations are persisting.

newfound taste for geographic liberation.

Moving companies such as United Van Lines and U-Haul, as well CoreLogic and other organizations crunching data for the real estate industry, have arrived at a consensus on migrating Americans. Even now, with the pandemic mostly in the rear-view mirror, households are continuing to depart congested, high-cost cities such as New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Chief beneficiaries — those places to which Americans are fleeing — include Nashville, Dallas and Florida destinations such as Greater Tampa, Sarasota and the Lakeland-Winter Haven metro area.

Hawaii, because of its relative isolation and strict COVID-19 protocols, was a popular place

to vacation and relocate to during the pandemic, and businesspeople find Honolulu pieds-à-terre attractive diversions on extended business trips to Asia. Despite high costs and limited housing supply, the Aloha State remains popular in the post-pandemic environment. There has been a significant migration of high-tech firms from California’s Silicon Valley to Austin, Texas, drawn by more affordable real estate and lower taxes. Despite difficult comps to 2021, the luxury market in Austin remains strong and looks promising in future years.

Brandy Coffey, a Keller Williams luxury agent in Sarasota, Florida, reports sustained interest in the burgeoning Gulf Coast metropolitan area, destined to be a magnet for

migrating Americans for years to come. “We used to be known as a retirement community, but that has shifted,” reports Coffey, who adds, “The pandemic brought more year-round families as opposed to seasonal buyers and retirees.”

Coffey also notes that while metro Sarasota traditionally drew from the Midwest, buyers from states like California and Texas discovered the region during the pandemic and are continuing to arrive. There is also strong demand from the Northeast, buyers from South Florida who recognize Sarasota as a better value, and even Europeans. “We have a lot of new construction, which is what people are after,” states Coffey, who reports that while inventories are gradually expanding, prices continue to increase.

A resort-style waterfront home in Sarasota, Florida, one of the places Americans are moving to.

“We used to be known as a retirement community, but that has shifted,” reports Coffey, who adds, “The pandemic brought more year-round families as opposed to seasonal buyers and retirees.”

L.A. and San Francisco may be currently out of favor, but not all of California has lost its magic, with desert resort communities drawing new fans and the Santa Barbara area popular among high-net-worth individuals. Steve Epstein, a top Keller Williams Luxury agent with offices in Montecito and Santa Barbara, reports that while volume is off more than 30 percent from the frenzied days of the pandemic, October 2022 was the very first month prices showed even a slight negative adjustment.

“During COVID, an economist described the migration here from the Bay Area alone as a ‘stampede,’” says Epstein, who notes many technology executives were not only attracted

by a higher quality of life, but prices that were perceived as attractive vis-à-vis Silicon Valley. Epstein reports that Greater Los Angeles is typically the prime source of transplants, followed by San Francisco. Chicago and New York also provide significant numbers of refugees to the “California Riviera,” he advises. “Historically, with our solid demand and virtually no supply, we’ve fared much better in previous economic downturns than other markets,” says Epstein, who adds, “We start later and recover earlier.”

Popular new destinations are not limited to the U.S., as “digital nomads” have discovered they can conduct their businesses, whether

it be copywriting or software development, from anyplace with reliable Wi-Fi. Amy Suto, a freelance writer and CEO of Sutoscience, left her career as a Hollywood screenwriter in 2020 to embark on a perpetual adventure. “During the pandemic, everybody was working remotely, so people started reimagining their lives in terms of how they wanted to work and travel,” explains Suto, whose eponymous blog provides insights and guidance to fellow digital nomads.

Suto, who reports that a growing number of desirable nations offer digital nomad visas, explains, “More countries are giving tax breaks to digital nomads, attempting to capture that wandering talent.” She notes that an entire infrastructure has been established to cater to this community of freelancers, with various companies providing residential accommodations, coworking spaces and health insurance to nomads around the world.

One of the most popular places for Americans to escape to permanently is Portugal, largely because its “golden visa” program has allowed foreigners to apply for a Portuguese passport after five years if they invested 350,000 euros in real property. Now, after a

An estate in Montecito, California, typical of what is drawing wealthy buyers from Los Angeles and San Francisco.

“During COVID, an economist described the migration here from the Bay Area alone as a ‘stampede,’” says Epstein, who notes many technology executives were not only attracted by a higher quality of life, but prices that were perceived as attractive vis-à-vis Silicon Valley.

decade, Portugal is considering discontinuing the program, but would retain visas for digital nomads. Other European nations that still offer golden visas include Spain, Italy and Greece.

With an increasing appetite for guidance on obtaining some of these exotic visas, various consulting firms — Immigrant Invest and Nomad Capitalist, for instance — have emerged to assist investors in navigating the bureaucratic process. “Even before the golden visa, Portugal was probably the best value destination in Europe,” says Dan Prescher, senior editor at International Living magazine, which provides information on housing, health care, transportation, and security for Americans moving abroad.

In 2022, wealthy buyers have fueled a real estate boom in some of Europe’s premier financial capitals. Despite the UK’s current economic woes, London is attracting highnet-worth individuals from the U.S., as well as American technology firms. Conversely, with the implementation of Brexit limiting workers’ flexibility, French expats are returning home from London. That, coupled with the City of Light’s perennial appeal to affluent Americans, continues to energize the Paris luxury market.

Keller Offers

By Jamie Yoos

Making big home decisions can be intimidating, even for those who have done so many times. Consumers want to be aware of all options and have confidence that they’re making the smartest choices when buying and selling. To minimize headaches, Keller Williams Realty has developed Keller Offers, a series of programs that allows agents to give clients valuable options and resources when making strides in their home-owning journeys.

“Keller Offers exists to provide innovative tools and solutions, exclusively to Keller Williams agents,” says Jennifer Owens, director of marketing and communications at Keller Offers. “We currently have programs that are available in markets across the U.S.. KW agents can use these to enhance their value proposition and listing presentations,” she adds.

For select markets, three programs exist to suit a variety of needs, the first being the Cash Offer program. “The Cash Offer program gives KO-certified KW agents the ability to market and utilize a Cash Offer selling option with their clients.” Owens explains. “This allows an agent to market ‘like an iBuyer’ to gain more leads and listings. A big part of the Cash Offer program is agent and client education.” Owens explains that when a client understands all of their available options, including the key differences between a cash offer and listing traditionally, they are able to make the best, mostinformed decision for their specific needs.

The second program, Ready to Sell, is used to get a home ready to go on the market. This can include staging the home and making any necessary renovations, while avoiding

Keller Williams Realty is ensuring its agents can provide home buyers and sellers with much more than the traditional transactional assistance.

• The Cash Offer program allows agents to give their client a no-obligation cash offer selling option.

• The Ready to Sell program helps to avoid up-front costs during renovations or staging when preparing to sell.

• The Ready to Stay program gives homeowners multiple financing options when renovating.

upfront costs.“With these improvements, the goal is to improve a home’s marketability and potential profitability, and the renovation and staging cost is repaid with the proceeds of the home sale.” says Owens. Every home has something that needs to be addressed before going on the market, whether it be a small fix or a costly renovation, and with the Ready to Sell program, a certified KW agent is present to advocate for and assist clients in handling the matter.

Finally, there is the Ready to Stay program. This program gives homeowners looking to improve their home multiple financing options from which to choose. Owens notes that this program allows KW agents to stay top-of-mind between their clients’ transactions and that this program is perfect for a new buyer that just moved into a new home or for a long-term

homeowner who dreams of renovating their home. “Both the Ready to Sell and the Ready to Stay programs work through a network of vetted vendors,” Owens explains.

Agents earn compensation for every one of their clients that sells to a Keller Offers cash buyer and are able to present an option for almost any seller’s situation, mitigating challenges and uncertainties in today’s competitive market. “At its core, Keller Offers was created to keep agents at the center of every transaction. By doing so, homeowners have the representation and advocacy they deserve,” says Owens.

Addressing agents, Owens adds, “As the market shifts, it will be more and more important to have additional tools in your toolbelt. Differentiate yourself and offer more solutions. Take our online training today at App.KellerOffers.com.”

If These Walls Could Talk

By Lara Becker

Ifyou’re looking to travel somewhere with powerful history, spectacular landscapes, and a great story to tell, look no further than Mexico. What many may not realize is that beyond the glorious local eats and picturesque beaches, intricate pyramids also stand tall throughout the country. Although most of these pyramids were built centuries ago, many of them remain in pristine condition. They give a great sense of pride to the ancestors and current communities across Mexico, greeting guests every day from a towering horizon.

When you think of pyramids, you might think of Egypt. But a journey across the border to Mexico can yield fascinating results.

A compelling backstory

The bulk of the Mexican pyramids exist along the country’s eastern coast. The majority of these were carefully sculpted between the years 1,000 BC to 900 BC. They were made to reflect the spirits of specific gods or goddesses, and also to represent different eras and styles of architecture.

Mexican culture credits the Aztec, Maya, Toltec and Olmec people with creating these pyramids; they built the structures as a way to honor their deities. Each of these groups used different tactics to construct its buildings,

but commonly utilized stone, mortar, and clay. Many of the pyramids also house the tombs of royal ancestors, who were buried with their jewels and gold-plated accessories.

It’s unknown how many pyramids, in total, still exist here, but there are at least a dozen popular sites to see and marvel at.

Where to begin

Keller Williams Luxury Magazine spoke with Zachary Rabinor, founder and CEO of Journey Mexico, the country’s leading travel agency, to get an expert’s perspective on the pyramids.

Journey Mexico is an in-country travel agency with headquarters in Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Mexico City, and Texas in the U.S.

Journey Mexico specializes in personalized vacation packages for guests looking for an immersive travel experience. It sees travel as an agent of change — a transformative experience when guests can gain a deeper understanding of where they are traveling.

Some Mexican pyramids are known for their excellence in architecture, while others are slightly less intact, but represent shrines to great leaders. Others are symbolic of the forward-

thinking civilizations from centuries in the past. Pairing with a travel companion can be beneficial to discovering the best way through the pyramids, and to gain their knowledge of the hidden gems inside each masterpiece.

“The pyramids in Mexico are an enthralling insight into the country’s endlessly fascinating and highly successful ancient cultures,” Rabinor says. “Mexico has a whole host of majestic pyramids to discover, each with their own unique history and architecture.”

Some of the most popular pyramids to visit in Mexico include the following.

Tlachihualtepetl:

The Great Pyramid of Cholula

Arguably the most well-known is The Great Pyramid of Cholula, also known as Tlachihualtepetl. This structure is known as the largest pyramid in the world by volume, explains Rabinor.

The base of the pyramid is actually four times larger than Giza, and nearly twice its volume. He adds that during the Spanish conquest, The Great Pyramid housed a large church at its peak, providing a common gathering space during a turbulent time.

Tlachihualtepetl was first excavated very

Most of the pyramids in Mexico can be visited from tunnels or stairs. Here, tourists are capturing the beauty of Uxmal, The Pyramid of the Magician.

The City of the Gods

recently, as late as the 1950s. Due to this, there could very well be more mysteries behind these walls, waiting to be uncovered.

Teotihuacán

Teotihuacán translates to “City of the Gods,” and was the largest ancient city of Aztec Mexico, located only 30 miles away from Mexico City. It was a bustling place of economic prosperity and ahead-of-its-time invention, such as irrigation systems for advanced farming.

Teotihuacán has 2 main pyramids remaining: The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. The Pyramid of the Sun is also amongst the largest of the pyramids, and is partly made of red volcanic rock. The Pyramid of the Moon faces the Avenue of the Dead, a sacred street thought to house tombs. The city itself is still stunning, says Rabinor, who notes “There’s nothing quite like watching the sun rise over Teotihuacán.”

Uxmal: Pyramid of the Magician

Uxmal is another highly recommended pyramid to visit along your journey, and a favorite

of Rabinor’s. It is known as The Pyramid of the Magician, after a legend that says a magiciandwarf built it overnight.

Uxmal was actually a provincial capital of the Puuc region at the time of the Mayas. It was often used as a gathering place to watch high

priests or leaders climb the stairs to its peak, where political discourse and discussion could be had.

Sculptures and detailed carvings can be seen at Uxmal, which offsets the greenery and vegetation surrounding its high walls.

Tlachihualtepetl: The Great Pyramid of Cholula

Teotihuacán:

Chichén Itzá: The Temple of Kukulcán

Another well-known pyramid is Chichén Itzá, which houses a shrine to Kukulcán. Kukulcán was known as the serpent god, and was believed to implement systems of civilization and medicine for all Mesoamericans.

His influence had long-lasting contributions to the success of communities here, and of architectural excellence.

“One of the most extraordinary aspects of many pyramids are their precision and accuracy surrounding astronomy,” Rabinor notes. “During

certain times of the year, such as the equinox, visitors can bear testament to these phenomenons.”

It is common to watch the equinox occur at Chichén Itzá — there is a spectacular phenomenon created by the sun, where a 10-foot serpent slithers down the side of the pyramid. It’s a feat of science so ahead of its time, that you’ll hardly believe your eyes.

Wonders of the World

Most Mexican pyramids can be visited by guests today through underground tunnels or stairs leading to the top.

Although the pyramids were all excavated in an effort to allow the public inside, the secrets embedded through each stone crack still leave some historians puzzled. In turn, there’s still a lot of history here yet to be discovered, which is what makes these wonders of the world so vibrantly interesting.

“The sites each take you on a journey, from pristinely restored down to the finest detail, to a wilder setting enveloped by remote jungle,” Rabinor says. “Each one is its own adventure.”

Style on Stage

By Roger Grody

Staging homes, a practice once reserved for luxury real estate, has become a proven strategy for enhancing sale performance at all price points. The National Association of Realtors® reports that staged homes sell for prices at least 6-percent higher, and spend nearly 75 percent less time on the market. While those are compelling data points for sales agents, Keller Williams Realty’s innovative Style to Design program also provides advantages to buyers that extend long past closing.

Style to Design is one of three new Keller Williams communities — KW Wealth and KW Relocation being the other two — that were introduced last year to complement existing programs. “As we push onward past COVID-driven market conditions, we’ve found agents want a greater sense of connection, empowerment and impact,” explains KW chief operating officer Sajag Patel. “Developed in partnership with our agents, communities are how we’re leaning in to best serve them in support of their business growth,” he says.

Heather Caine, an experienced, entrepreneurial luxury agent — she is the owner/ broker of Caine Luxury Team in Naples, Florida — was named community leader for the Style to Design program. With 20 years of staging and design, Caine reports, “I started my career in the construction industry, designing for contractors,

The benefits of staging homes for sale are well documented, but KW’s Style to Design program multiplies those advantages.

and began flipping houses in my twenties when I became an agent.”

Long before Style to Design was launched nationally by Keller Williams Realty in August 2022, Caine had built a robust staging and design business to complement her real estate practice. She says of the unique skill set she has developed over the years, “I have a passion for getting sellers the most money for their properties, but also for helping buyers envision the full potential of their new homes.”

“Staging and designing were services I layered on top of my own real estate business to create an unbeatable value proposition,” explains Caine. Now with the Style to Design platform available to KW agents nationally, she is empowering them to do the same, even if they have absolutely no design experience. “I’m in a position to teach other agents how to maximize these services, and even start their own staging and design businesses,” says Caine.

In a typical sales scenario, the staging company — which may, in fact, lack serious design experience — installs its products, some being threadbare or several trends out-ofdate, and retrieves them after closing. Agents who build their own staging and designing businesses, explains Caine, can potentially sell the staged furnishings with the real estate, creating an additional revenue stream that can be particularly valuable in challenging economies.

“In a shifting market, staging and design are the only tangible assets that enhance a return on investment,” relays Caine of a philosophy articulated by Keller Williams Realty executive chairman Gary Keller. She adds, “As an agent, if you can provide these resources to the seller or buyer, you can increase the value of the home, as well as your value as an agent.”

The Style to Design platform is remarkably user-friendly, packaged into a seamless pointand-click technology that can transform even the most inexperienced agent into a fledgling interior designer. The program offers hundreds of design boards that can be applied to rooms throughout the house, and when an agent clicks on a particular item (e.g., waterfall-edge nightstands from eco-friendly West Elm), a description appears with photos, product specifications and options.

Caine and her in-house designers have already sourced thousands of products, incorporating them into alluring design themes for participating agents and consumers. “With the

click of a button you can have a fully-designed home, proven to be on-trend, that will increase your return on investment,” says Caine. She reports her design team launches 13 new designs every week, reflecting up-to-the-minute style that consistently entices buyers and adds value to properties.

Also provided are renovation boards identifying specific products — elements such as countertops, backsplashes, flooring, and plumbing fixtures — that can eliminate countless hours of research and negotiations. “If a client is remodeling in preparation of putting the home on the market, these materials can be sent directly to a general contractor,” explains Caine. It is an equally valuable resource for buyers who want to make improvements before moving in, or plan to renovate the property for a quick flip. With so many applications, the versatile program certainly earns its tagline: “Style to Sell, Design to Stay.”

Style to Design’s level of detail is impressive, with some design boards dedicated to luxury table settings, even seasonal tablescapes with Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah

themes. “I’ve been creating design boards for my clients for many years, and now, with an entire design team, I can share these tools with other KW agents, even those with zero design experience,” says Caine. Emphasizing these tools enhance a real estate professional’s competitive position, she suggests, “When an agent shows a prospective client she has access to these resources, she’s going to get the listing.”

Style to Design also interfaces with KW Concierge, a comprehensive suite of services developed to fully prepare one’s home for market. The staging and design efforts coordinated by Caine’s team can be complemented by KW Concierge services involving landscaping, decluttering and cleaning. Furthermore, there are customizable, technologysavvy marketing materials available through Style to Design, which not only drive consumers to participating real estate agents, but assist investors in identifying the resources essential to maximizing their profits.

Trish Leto and her husband purchased a

single-family residence in Naples, a $2.6 million property listed by Caine Luxury Team. Leto, a retired nurse from New York, reports the staging of the home made it particularly attractive when house-hunting remotely, so after closing she engaged those very stagers, Style to Design professionals, to assist her in replicating that look.

“I know from experience that when you design yourself, you can make mistakes — expensive mistakes,” says Leto, who adds, “And because the house was so unique, we couldn’t just bring in our cherry furniture from New York.”

Working with Caine’s design team and using interactive Style to Design product boards, Leto was able to get the polished Florida aesthetics she desired. “Buying a home is never easy, and this eliminated a lot of stress,” says Leto.

“As agents, the most important thing we can do for consumers is to add value, and with these design resources it allows us to be a onestop shop for our clients,” states Caine. Style to Design is proving to be one of the most effective tools to create value on both sides of a real estate transaction.

Private Chefs

By Marlene Ridgway

Food is an intimate, connecting experience that brings cultures and people together, even more so in the comfort of your home.

Breaking bread with friends and family is the perfect way to gather and unite by trying new things and experiencing different cultures through food. With the help of private chefs and in-house preparation, smaller events and parties have become a true celebration of food and good company. Private chefs from all over the country are bringing top-tier levels of food, service, and more as they prepare and present restaurant-level meals in real-time in your own kitchen.

Hosting elegant dinner parties in our homes, topped with fine attire, entertainment, and a scrumptious menu was once a common practice that faded from popularity as restaurants and dining out became the norm. However, smaller events at home are on the rise once again.

“I love transporting our clients to a time when people dressed up and entertained at

Chef Lisa Brooks, founder and owner of Heart & Soul explains, “the mission has always been to help people rediscover the joy of feasting together. It started as helping families to get back around the dinner table for weeknight meals. Now, it’s expanded to include very memorable celebrations and elegant dinner parties.”

home,” says Sok Featherston, self-taught chef, and owner of Finders Keepers in Seattle. “I think the pandemic may have somewhat restored that.” The past few years have brought about many changes, and chefs around the country are noticing a demand for more intimate, at-home gatherings, but without sacrificing that elevated cuisine that’s achieved at fine-dining restaurants.

Chef Missy Wolff Fraley, founder and executive chef at The French Magnolia, a luxury culinary brand based in North Carolina, says, “When I first developed the brand, it was a food blog with the intent of eventually developing a culinary television show. Within a short period of time, my husband and I began to see a real need for fine dining in the home.”

The need for private chefs begs the question, what exactly does the experience look like? “I think when people hear private chef they sometimes assume we make weekly Tupperware

rations for two,” says Featherston. However, meal prep is only scratching the surface. Chef Lisa Brooks, founder and owner of Heart & Soul explains, “the mission has always been to help people rediscover the joy of feasting together. It started as helping families to get back around the dinner table for weeknight meals. Now, it’s expanded to include very memorable celebrations and elegant dinner parties.”

Private chefs can offer a carefully curated experience that has evolved into a start-to-finish type of event. These evenings or even weeklong vacations can involve everything from a delectable menu, perfectly paired wines, and excellent service to setting the table, providing dinnerware and decor, and cleaning up.

Chef Bonnie McPike, of Bonnie Rae in Washington, says “Our initial concept was primarily a meal delivery service. However, our company has grown dramatically and we now

cater to professional sports teams, corporate events, weddings, and small intimate parties.” Similarly, Michael Casciello, CEO and founder of Food Fire + Knives, explains, “Initially, I started the company as in-home cooking classes. But we began receiving more requests for private chef dinners. It became apparent that almost no one but the host actually wanted a cooking class. So, we began to pivot to the private chef world.”

Although the food is the centerpiece of most events, private chefs orchestrate an opportunity for connection, conversation, and creativity with the level of detail that goes into each job. “When we first began, we used our client’s china and wine. However, we very quickly shifted into all-inclusive luxury experiences where everything is included – beautiful linens, flowers, candles, silver flatware, china, and stemware for every course. We even bring special dinner music,” says Fraley. “We eat with our eyes, so the

Chef Bonnie McPike, of Bonnie Rae in Washington, says, “The greatest part of private catering is building deeper relationships with my clients and nourishing them through food. I believe that food and authentic connection can be quite healing.”

“I had a Southeast Asian upbringing with Peranakan food and I also drew on my twenty years of culinary inspirations from China. We felt the Peranakan and East Asian (China, Japan, Taiwan) menu would offer the community something unique and exciting for their palettes focusing on more complex, traditional flavors,” like this Tuna Tataki, says Chef Sok Featherston.

experience starts with the table and then you get taken on a culinary and wine journey.”

Each home is a new opportunity to elevate the space, the cuisine, and the occasion. “The greatest part of private catering is building deeper relationships with my clients and nourishing them through food,” says McPike. Brooks agrees, “There’s a special feeling working in the customer’s home and bringing the experience to them. It feels more intimate and we truly feel a part of the celebration.”

One of the great joys of private events with chefs is that guests receive the most complex and delicious dishes that are typically only available at a restaurant, but in the luxury of their own homes.

“Finders Keepers offers over-the-top catering for in-home entertaining. The idea was to provide upscale home cooking using premium ingredients with authentic heritage sauces, chilis and pastes made in-house from scratch,” says Featherston.

“We felt the Peranakan and East Asian menu would offer the community something unique and exciting for their palettes focusing on more complex, traditional flavors.”

The high-quality dishes are the reason why private chefs and events continue to grow in popularity. For example, Lowcountry shrimp and grits by Chef Brooks is the mouthwatering epitome of Southern coastal cuisine that transforms a classic into something elegant.

“My version uses a garlic sherry wine sauce as its base with jumbo shrimp, crisp bacon, fresh

“We live in the details and our clients trust that we will exceed their expectations. We have thought through every detail, so our clients can entertain flawlessly,” says Chef Missy Wolff Fraley.

scallions, and savory mushrooms over smoky Gouda grits,” says Brooks. “One of our soups, Velvet Love Vichyssoise, is so delicious and special that we have clients request it months in advance,” says Fraley. “Our crispy skin duck breast with puffed clove carrots and cherries au Poivre is quite special as well.”

Delectable food and event planning do not come without challenges, which can be a large part of working in residential kitchens. According to Casciello of Food Fire + Knives, “problem-solving and thinking on the fly is what chefs live for. We wanted to make the process as simple and seamless for our customers.” To make the process easier, communication is above all else, and “our chefs bring their own equipment that they need to execute and adjust when they arrive.”

Despite the many challenges, smaller, more intimate gatherings in homes, rentals, or even vacation homes are here to stay. With the changes brought about by the last few years, the idea of luxury in the comfort and safety of your home will be a lasting one. You receive a more curated experience, one that can accommodate food allergies, personal taste, a lot of fun, and more. “People are truly realizing how their relationships are precious and they want to spend their time giving friends and family their undivided attention. As people continue to invest their time into relationships, we will see the private cheffing industry continue to grow and bear fruit,” says Fraley.

Working (Out) From Home

By Camilla McLaughlin

Awell-appointed place to work out has always been a must-have for the most luxurious homes. Today, a home gym is no longer a rarity reserved for the very affluent. Instead of a nice-to-have supplement to the club, gym, or studio, it is now considered essential for many, whether the desire is prime conditioning or functional fitness.

“The fast-rising demand for a wellnessbased lifestyle often includes a near-daily commitment to fitness. As such, convenience is a major factor in driving the explosion of home gym integrations,” says Bryan Green, founder of Fitness Design Group, a specialized gym design and wellness consultancy.

In the U.S., the home fitness equipment market is projected to grow from $4.81 billion in 2022 to $7.8 billion in 2029. Adding to demand are new modalities that combine interactive training, even one-on-one coaching, with multifaceted equipment that occupies a small footprint.

Square footage no longer determines the potential for a home gym. New equipment, interactive modalities and advancements in fitness technology are enhancing whatever space is available.

Under the Wellness Umbrella

Fitness at home can imply anything from an extensive area devoted to wellness, to space carved out of an office or bedroom. The most elaborate can be an indulgent refuge incorporating multiple modalities for working out as well as studios for yoga or Pilates, meditation areas (inside and out), and massage rooms.

Designers of fitness spaces say demand for home gyms rivals commercial projects. “Families are increasingly taking a holistic approach toward creating permanent wellness space within the home. Many projects initiate as a transformation of basements, extra bedrooms, lofts, and bonus rooms into energizing workout havens. For clients building new homes, it’s now increasingly rare that a generous gym space is not included in the plans,” says Green.

Plan Before Purchase

Equipment creates pizzazz, but designers say function is the first step to good design. “Before any fitness equipment is selected, understanding the in-use space requirement is critical,” advises Green.

Consider how you want to exercise now and in the future. An ideal space should adapt as needs and interests evolve over time. It’s also important to envision who will be using the space. Ultimate gyms ideally accommodate functional exercise along with cardio and any special passions, including child-specific sports training.

No longer are gyms gritty utilitarian realms. Dedicated spaces to move that include natural light, entertainment integration, and functional floor coverings are a few of the fundamental keys to success, says Green.

Aesthetics are important. Lighting, air quality, hues, entertainment, and even placement of equipment all play into the appeal. “A welldesigned gym will serve as an extension of the home itself, not a departure or sacrifice in comfort,” says Green.

Noelle Isbell, founder of Noelle Interiors, uses a recent design for a room intended for working out as well as a Zen refuge. Using elements in a typical gym setting, she says, “we took a more luxurious and design-forward approach by substituting floor-to-ceiling mirrors with stylish black frames.” Equipment and accessories followed a similar color palette. The yoga component included a lightwell with natural plants and a water feature.

With built-in storage, 42-inch touch screen and 3D sensors, Tempo Studio turns a sunlit corner into an ideal place to work out.

Attention to aesthetics and a cohesive palette of blue hues create a Zen vibe, making this space a wellness sanctuary.

Flooring is another essential. “Durability is ideal, given the moisture and protection needed in a functional home gym. Rubber and vinyl flooring are top options as they come in versatile colors and they prevent scuffs and scratches,” says Isbell. For workout spaces carved out of another room, a foam mat or tiles can supplement flooring.

“Just because it’s a home gym, it doesn’t mean accessories can’t be stylish,” she says. “Be strategic when placing mats and machines next to each other. Do your best to create a machine section and a floor section with any necessary accessories or free weights to divide the space.” Floor-to-ceiling mirrors will make the room feel larger.

A common misconception is that a home workout won’t be as good as in a commercial facility due to access to a limited amount of equipment. “With careful design, you don’t need much space or equipment to get a quality workout. In fact, you can create a space in the same footprint as a treadmill that allows you to complete an endless array of workouts,” Green explains.

A yoga mat, hand weights and additions such as a Bosu work for the smallest spaces, as do expansion bands or systems such as the TRX. Here too luxury equipment such as Pent’s suite of fitness accessories elevates any space.

For larger areas, modular systems such as Gym Rax, which combines a small footprint with the ability to adjust modes, are a versatile option. It also incorporates storage spaces and options, including a punching bag.

Fitness Tech

What has really revolutionized small space training are interactive modalities. Extra-large highdefinition screens that appear as mirrors offer personalized training, even interactive, one-onone coaching, along with access to dozens if not hundreds of training videos.

The best, according to the Good Housekeeping Institute, is Tonal, a wall-mounted platform with both a 24-inch screen and electromagnetic resistance equipment. Offering a tremendous variety of classes, Lululemon Studio Mirror provides more than 10,000 classes and, for an additional fee, personalized training. A number of other companies offer similar products.

All open the door to new training opportunities, ushering in an entirely new concept of a home gym.

Modular wall systems, such as Gym Rax, preserve floor space and can be adapted as training goals change. Options include suspension training straps and a punching bag.

With an emphasis on strength training, Tonal packs a gym’s worth of equipment into a small space, offering customized training. As you get stronger, Tonal adjusts weight resistance.

THE CROWN JEWEL OF THE WEST

Jackson Hole, WY

KELLER WILLIAMS JACKSON HOLE

Keller Williams Jackson Hole believes that real estate is a local business, driven by individual agents and the market share they’ve earned.

As your team on the ground here in Jackson Hole, we have deep roots in the community and the inside track on local real estate, which gives our clients a distinct advantage.

JACKSON HOLE is virtually an inland island. Surrounded by acres of open space, only 3 percent of Teton County, where Jackson Hole resides, can ever be privately owned or developed. At the gateway to Yellowstone National Park, our region also borders Grand Teton National Park (pictured right) and encompasses national forest and conservation lands. This means that the active lifestyle and spectacular view corridors that Jackson affords its residents will remain in perpetuity. The rustic yet refined landscape of Jackson Hole makes this a desirable and vibrant community in which to live.
