An Executive Welcome

Thank you for joining us once again for another illuminating issue of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Prestige magazine.

In this issue, we’ve pushed the boat out, jumped onboard, and navigated to some of the world’s most compelling coastlines. Turn to page 2, for example, to dive into the warm, inviting waters of the Caribbean as we discover the magic of Aruba, the Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands.

Heading north up the U.S. coast, we find ourselves in the vibrant city of Virginia Beach on page 27, where we learn of the best spots for appreciating the area’s natural beauty, local art, and protected wildlife.

And on page 101, our cruise traverses the expansive Atlantic before navigating around the 4,660 miles of coastline that make up the Greek islands. Whether it’s the all-night parties or pink sand beaches that brought us here, it’ll be a struggle to leave.

If you’re seeking a second home destination, planning your next summer vacation, or just adding to the “Maybe One Day” list, I hope this issue awakens the wanderlust in you.

For the latest in custom interior design, on page 18 we spoke with the luxury brands that are putting the creative power in the hands of their customers to conceive unique creations for wallcoverings, tiles, windows, and more—with dazzling results.

As always, this issue is fully loaded with some of the most inspirational properties currently on the market and is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our network agents. With city pieds-a-terre, expansive country estates, and gorgeous coastal getaways, our network agents have you covered.

And after you’ve picked out your dream home—and decided on some custom décor for the living room—celebrate in style with a bottle of the finest Champagne. Don’t know where to start? Head to page 84 to find out all you need to know.
