We Practice the Fine Art of Selling Luxury Property

By Howard Morrel & Leslie Hirsch

Selling a luxury property is a specialized art form. Positioning is critical. Timing is critical. The right contacts in the market are critical.

Too often properties are simply cleaned up and pushed out onto the multiple listing service without looking at all the options & issues. Would an overseas client be interested? What are the tax consequences for the seller…and the buyer? Is there a co-op board that needs to be consulted?

And of course, how can the property best be staged and presented?

Morrel Hirsch & Advisors offers expert guidance from a team specializing in luxury co-op, condominium, townhouse, multifamily investment property, and commercial property sales and rentals.

While we are best known for our work in Manhattan and Brooklyn, we can assist sellers across the nation and the world–and often families with multiple properties on the market. To date, we have completed over 3.5 billion dollars in transactions. Many are familiar with us through our 57th Street Report covering Billionaires’ Row.

Leveraging the Christie’s International Real Estate Network

Christie’s is the world’s leading luxury brand in both art and real estate. As a Christie’s International Real Estate Group team, we leverage an international network of agents, attorneys, analysts, stagers, moving coordinators, contractors, and of course, the Christie’s Auction House. Each plays a clear role in facilitating the process for our clients.

Our fees are quite standard, but our service, reputation, and market strength are unparalleled. Always, our goal is to achieve the highest possible sales value for your property–through ideal positioning, preparation, and innovative marketing.

Trusted by Clients, Partners, and Attorneys

In the luxury market, buyers are as special as the properties they seek. With over three billion in sales to date, we pride ourselves on reaching and serving a discerning clientele. Our team acts as trusted agents for entrepreneurs, foreign investors, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, multinational residents, and family offices.

We have our own in-house appraisers, we take into account the most complex of tax and legal issues—and can speak knowledgeably with your attorney, your financial advisor, and your business partners. Always, we offer the comprehensive, tailored, trusted services that our clients have depended on for 45+ years.

Expertise in Trusts, Estates, and Probate

Importantly, the Morrel Hirsch & Advisors team also brings unique expertise in complex sales situations arising from Trusts & Estates, Guardianships, and Probate. We take on long term property sale projects in concert with the estate attorneys representing families. Always we work with compassion, care, and discretion. Howard Morrel & Leslie Hirsch are co-founders and leaders of the Trusts & Estates Division of Christie’s International Real Estate Group.
