Private real estate advisory for buyers, sellers, and family offices.
The Service Model
Many of the best properties in Palm Beach County change hands before they reach the public market, and the weeks before an offer is written usually decide the outcome. Palm Beach Luxury is a private advisory practice within Compass, the largest U.S. residential brokerage by sales volume. We represent a limited number of buyers and sellers at a time, at the $2M level and above, and every client works directly with the principals. We listen first. A buyer’s search starts with a conversation about what you want and why. A seller’s starts with a candid look at recent sales and the competition before any pricing recommendation. In practice, you tour at your own pace, with us in every room or on your own. When you are ready to decide, you tell us and we execute on your behalf.
Compass Private Exclusives gives our clients access to properties before they reach the MLS, Zillow or any public portal, and our relationships with owners and listing agents add properties that are not yet private exclusives. In a market where good properties often trade before they are listed, that access changes what you see.
We show you properties first and add context as your interest grows: recent sales nearby, how long a property has been on the market, what we know about the street or the building. Sellers get a candid read of recent sales and the competition before a price is set. Plain, in writing when it helps, and shared with your advisors if you wish.
Offers and counters are built on recent comparable sales, the property’s time on the market and what we have learned about the other side’s position. We tell you what we think and why, and the decision is yours.
We keep the transaction moving from contract to closing and introduce the inspectors, attorneys, lenders and insurance brokers you choose, who do their own work. Showings are scheduled with your privacy and your neighbors’ in mind. Referrals come from experience, never from compensation.
A direct line to Nikko and Camilla rather than a coordinator or a junior agent, including early mornings and late evenings when a decision cannot wait.
We treat our clients’ affairs as private. Marketing goes where you approve it, private listings stay off the public portals, and showings respect your privacy and your neighbors'. What we learn in a transaction is used for that transaction and nothing else.
The Compass Advantage
Palm Beach Luxury operates within the Compass ecosystem. Our clients access capabilities that are not available outside the Compass platform.
Private Exclusives
Compass Private Exclusives is, by Compass’s count, the largest set of pre-market and off-market listings in the country. Our buyers see those properties before they reach Zillow or the MLS, and before any agent outside Compass.
Private Collection
Every buyer client receives a Private Compass Collection: a secure workspace where the properties we share, our notes and our communications are organized in one place for you and your advisors.
Market Intelligence
Compass’s data platform shows buyer engagement, how quickly prices are moving and off-market activity that the public portals do not show. We use it to build negotiation strategy on real market behavior rather than listing prices.
3-Phase Marketing
Our sellers use the Compass three-phase launch: a Private Exclusive inside the Compass network, then Coming Soon on Compass.com, then the public launch. Each phase produces data that shapes the next.
Concierge Program
Compass Concierge funds pre-sale improvements, including staging, painting, landscaping, and minor renovations, at no upfront cost, with repayment at closing. Terms and eligibility are reviewed during your consultation.
National Network
When a buyer is relocating from New York, Connecticut or California, their local Compass agent often reaches us before the search is public. Those referrals are part of how we find buyers for our sellers.
We keep our clients’ affairs confidential. What you tell us stays with us, and what we learn in a transaction is used for that transaction and nothing else.

Common Questions
Real estate commissions in Florida follow a standard structure: seller-side fees are agreed at listing and paid from the transaction proceeds at closing. Buy-side compensation is typically offered by the seller or built into the transaction terms. The rate is discussed at the start of every engagement. What the fee covers: written analysis before every decision, negotiation strategy grounded in transaction data, full coordination across legal, title, insurance, and inspections, and direct access to the principals throughout.
A limited client roster, the principals on every engagement, context that grows with your interest, and access through Compass to the largest private listing network in the country by Compass’s count, with its engagement data and national referrals.
For buyers, we start with a conversation about objectives, timeline, entity structure, financing and geography. Within 48 hours we open a Private Collection where the properties we share and our notes are organized for your review. For sellers, we prepare a candid look at comparable sales and competing inventory with a pricing recommendation before any listing activity begins. There is no contract pressure at this stage.
Palm Beach County is the only market we cover. Our practice is concentrated where the highest-value transactions occur: the Town of Palm Beach, Jupiter Island, Admirals Cove, The Bears Club, Lost Tree Village, Manalapan and the waterfront corridors between them. We track listings, closed sales and price adjustments in these areas continuously.
We represent both buyers and sellers, and when a buyer client is interested in a property we have listed, we act for both sides as a transaction broker under Florida law, with written disclosure to each. Both parties know where they stand from the start. We do not accept compensation from the vendors or professionals we recommend.
Most of our engagements involve at least one additional advisor, whether that is legal counsel, a CPA, a family office principal, or a wealth manager. The written memos we produce for every property or pricing decision are built to be reviewed by an advisory team. Our Private Collection workspace supports multi-party collaboration, and we coordinate directly with your team on timing, entity structure, tax considerations, and anything else that extends beyond the real estate transaction.
We are experienced with the structures common at this level of the market and coordinate with your legal and tax advisors on entity formation, title vesting, and Florida homestead considerations as a standard part of the engagement.
Our practice covers Palm Beach County from Jupiter and Jupiter Island south to Boca Raton, including the Intracoastal corridor, barrier islands, and private club communities such as Admirals Cove, The Bears Club, Lost Tree Village, and the Town of Palm Beach. A full list of neighborhoods and private communities is available on our community pages.
Our sales are part of the public record and appear in our MLS history, as every agent’s do. Beyond that, we do not publicize our clients’ transactions or use them in our marketing without permission, and we are glad to structure an engagement around your privacy requirements. The default is discretion.
A sell-side engagement from initial analysis through closing typically runs 90 to 180 days, depending on pricing strategy, seasonal timing, and buyer demand. Buy-side engagements vary more widely: some clients find the right property within weeks, others search for a year or more while we track inventory across specific communities. We set expectations on timeline early and update you throughout. There is no point in the process where you are waiting without knowing why.
Our standard listing and buyer representation agreements are 12 months. That reflects how we work: when we take on a client, we commit fully, and we ask for the same commitment in return. The terms are always discussed before you sign anything, and the specifics are negotiable. If at any point the engagement is not working, we would rather have that conversation directly than hold anyone to a contract.
Our practice is focused on properties at the $2M+ level across Palm Beach County.
