Sandra Miller was hosted by Haute Media Group Cofounder Seth Semilof. Watch their conversation below.

The topics included Miller’s illustrious career with credible experience stemming from her corporate background, joining the highly esteemed Engel & Völkers team, and her eventual ascendancy in the Santa Monica real estate market.

Sandra Miller is the principal broker leading Engel & Völkers’ thriving Santa Monica shop, which was the first Engel & Völkers shop to open in California. With numerous prestigious real estate awards and accolades to her name, Miller is also notably one of only a small number of brokers to achieve a Private Office Advisor designation. She believes that real estate is, ultimately, a personal service, so her clients turn to her as a reliable reference long after their home buying or selling is complete. Miller’s personally selected team follows the same principles, working together with her to bring a level of boutique service to Santa Monica that real estate customers have never before experienced.

Here are some of the questions and answers from the exclusive interview with Miller.

Seth Semilof: What made you make the move to go into real estate?

Sandra Miller: I transitioned from an outside sales representative to inside manager, then I launched in seven different markets for them. When I left, I had 178 indirect distributors under my realm with managers and etc., so a ton of reports all commission only. I knew about five years before I left that when I left that job, I would go into real estate. It was just never a question in my mind. The reason I would go into real estate is because there is no other industry where someone who is good at sales has unlimited income potential like real estate.

SS: How was it pivoting? How was it building your business? Did it take time, or did it start immediately?

SM: It was really an interesting time. It was 2004 when I got my license. What I did was I went around and interviewed different companies, owners, and operators that were running retail storefronts in the U.S. There were not that many in 2004, but I wanted to do retail because that was my specialty. I had thousands of them underneath me in my previous life. I did not know anyone in L.A. because at that point, I was really upper management and traveling between seven different markets. It was really starting from ground zero. What I learned when I went around the country, interviewed people, and set up my business plan, is how to launch. I started marketing about six months before I ever did a deal, needed to do a deal, or wanted to do a deal. I did 20,000 mailers a month for six months before I got my first call.

SS: If you had to give advice to somebody that wants to get into real estate and is scared but has the resources to invest in themselves or to somebody who does not have the resources, what advice would you give?

SM: If they do not have the resources, I advise them to work on a team. Honestly, you need resources in order to be successful. You cannot just wing it. My expertise was launching markets for my old company, so I did the research. I knew exactly what I was getting into. I knew exactly the target market I was going after. I did the mailings, I opened my office, and I had no choice but to be successful. I am not a trust fund baby. I needed to make money. I had a very specific business plan that I executed, and it worked.

SS: How was building, setting up with Engel & Völkers, having a name, having a fancy office, and having to produce?

SM: There was no producing. Santa Monica real estate, west side real estate, really just stopped. They did not have to sell. It is all people with lots of money. There were no short sales in this market. There were no foreclosures in this market. It was just a stalled market, but I survived. I started doing a lot of leasing in those 18 months. Then, the market took off like a rocket. It was eye opening when it happened as a woman business owner that is responsible for other people's livelihoods.

SS: Where do you see your business in the next five to 10 years?

SM: I see continuing to build my team, continuing to make them successful, and doing more of the same. I want to sell until I am 100. I really enjoy the boutique. I do not want to build an empire. I did that and I do not want to do it again. I want to enjoy traveling, which I can do with the Engel & Völkers brand. I can go network with fellow agents and office owners whenever and wherever. I can really enjoy my clients and the homes that I get to sell. It has been a journey.

In 2017, a year after their marriage, the couple purchased the then-brand-new property at a price of $2.73 million. In 2019, the pair reportedly updated to a $5 million multi-structured compound in Venice as their main residence. The “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” star currently owns three homes in Southern California. However, Robbie and Ackerley are now planning to bid farewell to Hancock Park as they have listed their former residence on the market for a price of $3.48 million.

Beyond secured gates and a high wall, the nearly 3,400 square foot property includes four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. This two-story home can be accessed from the picturesque tree-lined street and is described as “Soho-inspired.” The living area highlights a marble fireplace and dazzling chandelier. The family room offers access to the large outdoor patio equipped with a curved sofa and charming swing. The bistro-style kitchen sits adjacent to the casual dining area and highlights Thermador appliances, a marble sink, white cabinets, and a spacious island. The formal dining room presents a stylish light fixture and picture window.

Heading upstairs, the landing features built-in shelving and a bench leading to the master suite. The master suite includes a balcony that overlooks the pool. Stepping outside, the space offers entertainment options such as a pool, cabana, and bar. Decorative elements of the home consist of hand-fabricated metal doors, Carrara marble, and imported European oak floors. Other perks include an office, wine cellar, private pet room, two-car garage, whole-house audio, and camera-equipped security system.

Sam Real and Justin Fierro of Engel & Völkers represent the listing for this property.

The news marks Alatriste's departure from an almost decade-long tenure at Engel & Völkers. Having sold over $130 million in 2019 and recognized by the WSJ among the Top Ten agents nationwide in 2019, Alatriste has represented some of Miami’s most noteworthy properties and holds the distinction of most sales in Palm Island.

"My decision to join Douglas Elliman was based on the strength of its presence, both nationally and internationally," says Alatriste. "I have deep roots in the international real estate market and its partnership with Knight Frank is bar none. What Douglas Elliman has established here is exactly what I want for myself and most importantly for my clients. Douglas Elliman also provides a multitude of impressive platforms to effectively market properties and properly service our global clientele through their best-in-class technology, marketing, and public relations departments."

Among her highlights from last year are Cher's former home at 54 La Gorce Drive, listed for nearly $20 million; a penthouse listing at Oceana for almost $22 million; and a $13.9 million home in Islamorada.

Previous clients of Alatriste include basketball greats Chris Bosh and Alonzo Mourning of the Miami Heat, Leah and Roy Black, and watch expert Rick de la Croix.

As head of the Alatriste Group, she is being joined in the change by her team, Mariana Martinez, head of operations, and Renier Casanova, to work from Douglas Elliman's Coral Gables offices.

Lourdes Alatriste, Jennifer Ames, Paul Benson, Paul Gavriani, and Nicole Van Parys. were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase. The dynamic conversation also included questions submitted by the live viewers. Watch the webinar below.

About today's panelists:

Lourdes Alatriste: #1 Producer for Engel & Völkers Miami, top 250 in the USA per wall street journal

Jennifer Ames: Over $1.8 billion in career sales, top 10 overall in Chicago for 21 consecutive years

Paul Benson: CEO of Gestalt group and #1 agent with Engel & Völkers worldwide

Paul Gavriani: Top 5 agent at Engel & Völkers NY City, top 250 in the country per wall street journal

Nicole Van Parys: Top 100 in the USA overall, and top 10 with Engel & Völkers

Top: Jennifer Ames, left to right: Paul Gavriani, Lourdes Alatriste, Nicole Van Parys, Paul Benson

Highlight quotes:

Jennifer Ames: "The more affluent people are, the more they're... A lot of our sales have been under $1 million. The younger people are really excited about the low interest rates and they're getting out. They don't have money tied up in the stock market and they're pumped to take advantage of the deals that are out there."

Lourdes Alatriste: "Videos are beautiful and lure somebody in, but there is nothing like seeing it with your own eyes... In Florida, it has been easier to get around. I have been showing houses that are not owner-occupied. I get around with my mask and gloves."

Paul Benson: "Space is the new luxury. Clients are looking for space, privacy. They're looking to get on a trail, to be in a community that has a better hospital system that is not overrun... We have to have a plan that is long-term. It's going to be a moving target but we have to get used to doing business this way."

Paul Gavriani: "We have seen a tremendous amount of people fleeing to safety. There's a Spring market here in The Hamptons that never happened before in extremely high numbers. And the SUmmer market has kicked in. Because agents can't show (in person), people are renting things off of the listing."

Nicole Van Parys: "The quicker you come back from a tragedy, the quicker that you will understand other people's values. When you do, you can then give of yourself again, relate to your clients, and see what their needs are."

The post Luxurious Living At Miami’s Iconic Development By Lourdes Alatriste appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The Summit had already featured two other, separate panels with a “who’s who” in the real estate market: developers, and international brokers. The local brokers brought it home to a successful and informative talk.

Phil Gutman, Lourdes Alatriste, Crista Ryan, Christian Martinez, Sebastian Tettamanti, Maria Eugenia Alvarez Vitale, Steve Solomon

The panelists joined Moderator Alex Vidal, President of RelatedISG International Realty in a capacity-filled event space within the luxurious Residences by Armani/Casa (18975 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida), developed by Dezer Development.

They spoke about the current state of the real estate market in Miami-Dade and close communities in Broward and Palm Beach counties that are a quick drive up I-95 and enjoy the same South Florida weather yearlong. Other topics included: What makes Miami and South Florida such an active destination for many around the country and the world, contrasts between the renting and buying markets, the ins and outs of searching and asking for proof of funds from potential buyers, the impact of brand names on a project, and more.

When asked about the state of the market, Maria Eugenia Alvarez Vitale, Head of Sales of G&G Business Developments, said, “The market is good.” She is currently focused on sales of Aston Martin Residences in Downtown Miami, an area that she has gotten to know even more through her involvement with the British carmaker’s namesake building. "We are over 50% sold in Aston Martin Residences. The downtown area is booming," she added.

Phil Gutman, President of Brown Harris Miami, opined from the brokerage point of view, comparing the high- and middle-priced homes in the luxury market. “The upper part of the market has been doing well; the middle not so much.”

Palm Beach County real estate expert Steve Solomon, Senior Director of Luxury Sales at Douglas Elliman Real Estate based in Boca Raton, said, "In Boca Raton and Delray Beach, the market is very good. There are many buyers in the market. It's an active season for the $1-3 million range."

Vidal asked, “Besides the weather and tax incentives, what drives people to move to Miami?” Crista Ryan answered, "The wonderful security. We ride our bicycles and feel safe in our communities." She is based in Palm Beach County, where she acts as President of Tina Fanjul Associates. New York native Gutman added, “The quality of life. I grew up walking NY's streets, hearing taxis screech on the road. Here it's more laid back, but we have a lot of companies' headquarters in the area."

Participating as part of the “home team”, Senior Vice President of Dezer Development Sebastian Tettamanti spoke about renting versus buying. "The rental market is very active. The buyer is taking a bit longer,” he said. “Now that there is so much product, agents take clients to more locations. However, the product is moving and we are making sales."

Christian Martinez, Regional Vice President of Florida at Compass, said, "Higher listings take longer, but we see them moving. It also depends on the market. Certainly in Miami, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove have an active market” as he remarked on famous sections of the Greater Miami Area. He added, “Overall, New York money continues to flow into Broward and Palm Beach counties."

Partner and Private Office Advisor of Engel & Völkers Miami Lourdes Alatriste emphasized how members of the luxury real estate market need to research potential buyers for proof of funds. “At that level of luxury properties, you should know who they are."

The post Tropical Hawaiian Estate appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The fashion mogul, who serves as creative director for both Fendi and Chanel, purchased the property in the Hamburg suburb of Blankenese back in 1989. Around the same time, his longtime partner, Parisian socialite Jacques de Bascher passed away and in a showcase of respect and commitment, Lagerfeld named the home after him – “Villa Jacko.”

Over the years, the designer left his own artistic touches on the Roman-style hilltop estate, which overlooks the Elbe River. Lagerfeld commissioned art conservator Renate Kant to restore the old-time veneer of the residence, which was originally constructed in the 1920s as a single-story home. He also filled the rooms with heavy, ornate brocades in a juxtaposition to the stern stone exterior.

Later, Lagerfeld described the interior as “very Weimar Republic” in a book titled “Ein Deutsches Haus” (A German House). Less than a decade after buying the home, he sold it, for its location was too serene to spur productivity.

“It’s impossible to live on the Elbe,” Lagerfeld said in Engel & Völkers’ proprietary magazine, GG. “You spend all your time looking out at the river. You ended up becoming lazy.”

Engel & Völkers in Hamburg has listed the classical home, which features a Roman water pool in the grant foyer, an atrium and gold-leaf ornaments throughout the living spaces on the first floor. The second story, an after-thought appended to the house in the 1930s, holds several bedrooms in a much more relaxed and cozy ambiance.

The master suite features individual bathroom and closet space, a private patio, spa and stunning views. Architectural brilliance abounds in this estate and is beautifully emphasized by overflowing natural light radiating through various skylights. Rare does a home of this magnitude and sophistication exude such comfort and charm.

The post Luxurious, Private Sherwood Country Club Estate appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The designation came this March, when Engel & Völkers North America announced the recipients of its 2016 awards.

“We value and cultivate our core values of competence, exclusivity and passion,” said Benson in a statement. “We are serious about meeting the requirements of discerning customers, and we offer a first-class service. We attract the finest employees and help further their careers.”

The Park City shop, one of 16 Benson, Jones and Kelaidis lead, benefits from a vibrant location on the town’s historic Main Street, which rests in the heart of the US’ largest ski area of over 7,300 acres. Only a 35-minute drive from Salt Lake City International Airport, the region flaunts a host of multi-million, Alpine-style properties that, coupled with a slew of lifestyle locales, boost the appeal of the community. Home to over 100 restaurants, Park City also invites nature in with its 450 miles of town-accessible trails for hiking and mountain biking.

The success of the Park City shop of Engel & Völkers attests to the brokerage’s sustained prosperity around the world. Founded by Christian Völkers in Hamburg, Germany, in 1977, the real estate firm has grown into a global luxury brand that pampers its discerning clientele with an assortment of high-end services – from home purchases to commercial developments to private aviation. Today, Engel & Völkers boasts over 9,000 professional advisors, close to 2,000 in North America alone, who relentlessly modernize the real estate industry of some 33 countries.

“Engel & Völkers has established a solid reputation of premium international real estate service because we continue to attract top performers who share our commitment to quality and professionalism,” said Anthony Hitt, CEO of Engel & Völkers North America, in a press statement.
