From the rugged cliffs of Big Sur to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, The Agency's global network has been busy closing some truly remarkable deals. These aren't just transactions—they're stories of record-breaking sales, seamless cross-border moves, and homes that redefine what luxury living looks like. Let's dive into the standout closings that made headlines this quarter. ### From Jamaica to the Cayman Islands: A Seamless Caribbean Move When a client needed to relocate between two Caribbean hotspots, Thomas Greenwell and Rebecca Stevenson stepped in. Rebecca handled the sale of the client's home at The Argyle in Kingston, Jamaica, while Thomas guided the purchase of Southern Skies #10 in South Sound, Cayman Islands. It's a perfect example of how The Agency's global reach makes even complex international moves feel effortless. ### Naples, Florida: A $24.4 Million Beachside Estate Just four doors from the beach, 225 4th Avenue N in Olde Naples sold for a whopping $24.4 million—all cash. Chris and Kara Resop of The Resop Team represented the buyer in this record-setting deal, which clocked in at $3,251 per square foot. The rare triple-lot property spans nearly an acre and includes a main residence plus a detached guest house, totaling about 7,504 square feet. With six bedrooms, seven full baths, a wine room, bocce court, two outdoor summer kitchens, and a pool with a sun shelf, it's no wonder this was one of Olde Naples' top sales of the year. ### Wellington, Florida: A New Record in Olympia Paul Rabinowitz represented the sellers of 2186 Stotesbury Way, which closed at $2.125 million. This sale set a new record as the highest-priced sale in Olympia, one of Wellington's most coveted communities. It's a milestone that underscores the area's growing appeal. ### Big Sur, California: A Record-Breaking New Build Paul Lester and Daniel Stevenson sold 47730 Coast Ridge Road for $7.5 million, marking the highest-priced new-construction sale in Big Sur history. At over $3,750 per square foot, this transaction shows just how much buyers value pristine coastal properties. ### West Hollywood: A $36 Million Penthouse at Sierra Towers Blair Chang represented the buyer of a penthouse at 9255 Doheny Road in the iconic Sierra Towers, which closed at $36 million. The deal didn't just set a price record—it also earned Blair The Hollywood Reporter's 2026 Los Angeles Power Brokers Condo Sale of the Year award. Talk about a win-win. ### Pacifica, California: Coastal Living Above the Pacific Mara McCain represented the seller of 5 Ohlone Drive, a newly built coastal estate in one of the Bay Area's exclusive gated communities. With floor-to-ceiling glass walls, sweeping ocean views, and nearly every room opening to terraces or gardens, this home offers an unmatched combination of privacy and accessibility. Plus, it's just 16 minutes from SFO and 25 minutes from downtown San Francisco. ### Los Angeles: A $29 Million Dual-Agency Deal Santiago Arana and Griffin Riddle represented both sides of the $29 million sale of 1204 Chickory Lane. Santiago handled the listing and also represented the buyer, showcasing The Agency's ability to seamlessly manage complex transactions. ### Dana Point: A $12.15 Million Monarch Bay Sale Tony Maniaci represented the seller of 416 Monarch Bay Drive in Dana Point, which sold for $12.15 million. This transaction further cements The Agency's dominance in Southern California's luxury market. > "These closings aren't just numbers—they're milestones that reflect the trust our clients place in us and the exceptional service our agents deliver day in and day out." ### What These Deals Say About the Market From record-setting prices to cross-border moves, these transactions highlight a few key trends: - **Luxury buyers are active**: Despite market fluctuations, high-end properties continue to attract significant interest. - **Global reach matters**: The Agency's ability to facilitate international moves gives clients a distinct advantage. - **Records are being broken**: From Big Sur to Wellington, new benchmarks are being set, signaling strong demand in select markets.
