In his role since 2013, Parker has grown Douglas Elliman's presence in markets from Miami to Jupiter, to Palm Beach and St. Petersburg. They have a total of 21 offices and more than 1,100 agents. Under Parker's leadership, Douglas Elliman Florida had a record year in 2018 with $4.7 billion in total sales volume, which was up 30% over the prior year. Parker has been a key figure in the growth of the brand, which is now represented in luxury real estate markets in 60 countries and six continents through its partnership with London-based Knight-Frank Residential.

The interview was hosted by Haute Living's Seth Semilof. Parker began his remarks by giving praises to the medical community and first responders that have been hard at work.

On the interaction with banks, while those are working on the Small Business Administration rollouts, he said "I've spoken with a number of banks. Lenders have reached out to me. The rates being as low as they are, I feel confident we will see a strong financial market. Unlike the last recession, lenders are much more cautious about lending. The banks are in the business of providing financing, and they will get back to that."

"Think of this like any slow period," he said about advice he and his leadership team give to their agents. "In our business, it's not uncommon for an agent to have no business. It's important we focus on goals. Make a plan for when this passes. Work on your database. Distinguish new and old clients. Request reviews from clients. Make five calls, send five emails, five thank-you notes, five text messages every day. Communicate with your clients. See how they and their families are feeling. If possible, spend time with your family. Take an online course you did not have time to before. And connect with agents in other markets."

"This is going to be a time that presents a lot of pent-up demand," he said about the post-quarantine market. "We launched a project in West Palm Beach last month. Things are going to be delayed, but we are working on pre-development."

He also answered questions submitted by viewers during the live broadcast. On a question about relocations to South Florida from other major markets, submitted by One Thousand Museum developer Louis Birdman, Parker said, "We saw a surge of interest in rentals at the beginning (of quarantine times). Now, those people that were borderline retirement are saying, 'Let's do it now'. We will see more people moving from California and New York moving here full-time. I think that New York, one of the strongest and most important cities in the world, will bounce back out of this pandemic." Parker took the opportunity to congratulate Birdman on the recent purchase of a One Thousand Museum penthouse by David Beckham.

The post Coastal Masterpiece in Jupiter, Florida appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

While tennis has brought her and her older sister, Venus, wealth and notoriety, the Williams sisters are not content to be known for just blistering serves and punishing groundstrokes.

Serena has leveraged her position as a top global athlete to become a fashion icon (she turned heads in a pink ensemble with classic fascinator hat at the Royal Wedding), savvy businesswoman, wife (she is married to Reddit founder, Alexis Ohanian), and new mother to adorable baby daughter, Olympia.

Serena and Venus were taught by their father to work harder than everyone else and to zero in on a goal and achieve it. Growing up to become a 36-year old perfectionist who lives the disciplined lifestyle of a champion, the biggest challenge Serena might face might be learning how to settle down.

When she is ready to retire (maybe after netting the 25th title), Serena could probably have a successful second career as a real estate investor. She not only owns a bevy of properties but displays great taste in selecting a modern open-plan architectural design.

Serena Williams' Palm Beach Gardens House

According to Serena, the Williams sisters have always been "South-Florida girls" at heart. She already co-owns a property with Venus in Palm Beach, so purchasing a place to be a family home base in the sunny "golf capital of the world" seemed logical.

The 7,323-square-foot home has a wide stone walkway leading up to the front, and, of course, a full tennis court out back.

The expansive open concept family kitchen is where Serena, Alexis, and their daughter end up spending a lot of time. Serena's chef will whip up whatever mixture of ingredients are believed to help keep her body in playing condition, while the couple's new baby explores her shiny new world.

Recessed lighting in the ceiling plays in concert with the large windows along the far wall to wash the interior in a warm glow. Custom cabinets and appliances are also built into the wall to give a sense of even more open space. String a net across the center of the room and there's enough brushed oak flooring to play doubles inside.

Taking advantage of the 360 days of sunlight, the property also boasts a huge covered lanai with outdoor appliances and full summer kitchen. Dad and daughter can watch mommy Serena get some practice in, before dipping a toe in the resort-like heated pool and spa.

Serena Williams' Beverly Hills House

When Serena's in California, she has a newly-built five-bed, seven-bath, $6.7 million home in the guard-gated community of Summit in Beverly Hills to call home.

She scooped up this white, Spanish-style house after selling her Bel Air mansion to the tune of $12 million. Serena's chef can prepare her training table meals in the state-of-art kitchen and lay out the food on the huge Bianco Bella polished marble island.

The home also has a yoga and massage room, wine cellar, and game room with a professional poker table. A step-out balcony provides peaceful views of the valley, while the covered veranda opens up to a Baja pool that overlooking terraced landscaping consisting of green native plants.

The one thing missing from Serena's West Coat abode? A tennis court. It appears this house is more of a chill spot than a practice pad.

Serena's impressive real estate portfolio also includes land in Jupiter, Florida and a residence in Paris, France.

Serena is currently competing in the French Open at Roland Garros.
