Washington, District of Columbia, United States
There are very few advisory platforms operating seamlessly across multiple U.S. markets with an active international presence. Fewer still are led by a single Managing Partner serving as the connective thread across every engagement. That is how we are built. As Managing Partner of The Luxury Collective Global Advisory and Director of The Luxury Collective UK, I lead an exceptional team across Washington DC, New York City, Los Angeles and Southern California, Napa Valley, Connecticut, Florida, and London. We advise ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, heads of state, political leaders, CEOs, C-suite, athletes, entertainers, content creators, and globally mobile principals. Our work is not transactional. It is a bespoke, fully managed advisory experience built around the specific needs, timeline, and privacy requirements of each principal we serve. Operational precision and complete discretion are non-negotiable. Before real estate, I worked at the highest levels of American political life: a presidential campaign, a presidential inaugural committee, inside an administration, and on Capitol Hill. From there, I moved into media with some of America’s most recognized entities in marketing and advertising. I learned discretion where it was never optional, negotiation where the stakes were national, and how to build narratives that move markets. That foundation is present in every engagement we run today. I am one of the founding members and the National Head of the newly launched Global Division at Compass, and a member of the Compass Sports and Entertainment Division. We bring white-glove service and absolute confidentiality to some of the most recognizable names in the world. No two clients are the same. No two engagements are handled the same way. That is what bespoke truly means. I am the founder and publisher of John Eric Home and Lifestyle magazine and the creator and host of The Property Diplomat podcast. The best advisors don’t just close transactions; they lead conversations. Year after year, RealTrends recognizes both myself and The Luxury Collective Global Advisory among the top one tenth of one percent of advisors in the United States. Our work has been featured in leading global outlets including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and others. Twenty-plus years. Multiple markets. Two continents. One standard of service: complete discretion. If you are reading this, you likely already know someone I know. If we have not yet met, consider this your introduction. I would welcome the connection.
