Estates & architectural properties

Every house gets a film, not a slideshow.

Estate and architectural property representation. Every listing gets professional photography, film, floor plans and a dedicated page, because your buyer is comparing four properties on an iPad at eleven at night.

Services

How we represent

Fewer listings, taken seriously. We turn down more instructions than we accept.

Estate representation

Full marketing production: photography, drone, measured plans, a standalone property site, and a properly directed film with a location scout and a shooting schedule rather than a phone on a gimbal.

Off-market & private sales

For sellers who want discretion. A private network of qualified buyers and no public listing at any point.

Buyer representation

Including access to properties never publicly listed. We represent perhaps twelve buyers at a time, deliberately.

For agents: join us

Producing agents: full marketing production on every listing you take, a real split, and no desk fees. Have a look at what we'd give you.

Results

Why sellers choose us

"Two other brokerages showed me a comparative market analysis. Ellery showed me the actual page my house would live on, with the film already storyboarded. That was the decision."

Katherine V. · Seller, architectural estate

Process

Selling with us

Production is complete before the listing goes live. A film shot after the price drops is a film nobody watches.

  1. 1

    Valuation & strategy

    A considered opinion of value with the comparable evidence behind it, and a frank view on timing.

  2. 2

    Production

    Photography, film, drone, floor plans and copy. Usually ten to fourteen days, and it is the reason the rest works.

  3. 3

    Launch

    A dedicated property page, the private network first, then public portals. Sequenced deliberately, not simultaneously.

  4. 4

    Negotiate & close

    Qualified buyers only, and we manage inspection and appraisal so the deal survives to closing.

From the shot list

Every house gets a film. These are the stills.

The stills are frames from the film, not a separate shoot. The shot list is the same for both.

Selling, buying, or thinking about your next move?

A valuation conversation commits you to nothing and is genuinely useful even if you decide to stay put for another five years.
