Why attend
Women in Luxury Real Estate Summit celebrates and highlights women in luxury real estate and the role they play in the overall ecosystem to connect buyers and sellers of residential property, and embellish the properties inside and outside.

As agents and brokers, women facilitate real estate transactions that earn the loyalty and trust of home buyers and sellers. As interior designers, architects, art advisers and materials purveyors, they help plan the flow of the homes and gardens, and bring to life dreams through efficient use of light and space as well as furniture, fixtures, art and antiques. As developers, they build homes and towers with distinctive designs in attractive districts. As attorneys and mortgage executives, they help with the financial and legal details, ensuring that everything lines up with the property purchase or sale.

In addition to Ms. Hampton, the speaker roster includes top professionals and senior executives from Marriott International, McKinsey, Sotheby’s International Realty, Compass, REALM, Corcoran, UBS, Coldwell Banker Warburg, The Agency, Matterport, Real Broker, Succession Advisors, Romer Debbas, Nan & Co. Properties, Platinum Properties and Kreps PR + Marketing. More speakers will be added soon.

UBS is the title sponsor of the summit. Please contact events@napean.com to inquire about the sponsored lunch keynote session.

How’s the Market: State of Luxury Real Estate

Depending on the location, demand for luxury residential property remains strong. However, the global uncertainty over U.S.-imposed import tariffs has scrambled the equation for many sectors. Will luxury real estate be the beneficiary of asset diversification, and which geographical markets are attractive value propositions? Where are the buyers coming from? What are the younger affluent generations seeking in their home preferences? Clear cooperation or walled-garden private listings? What about interest rates? Also, is the dust settled over commissions and legal wrangles on that issue?
