Our Philosophy

We do not sell homes. We curate private worlds.

Luxury interior — architectural detail
I

Curation

We represent fewer than forty residences at any time. Each one selected not merely for price, but for architecture, provenance, and the life it enables.

II

Discretion

Many of our finest properties never appear publicly. Client relationships built over years allow us access that no listing can provide.

III

Intelligence

We advise. We do not merely transact. Market positioning, investment horizon, lifestyle alignment — these are the conversations that define our work.

“Every great residence tells a story. Our work is to match it to the right chapter of the right life.”

— The Maison States Standard

One Standard.

Each neighborhood carries its own architecture of life. We know them all intimately.

The Arrival

Exterior

The Arrival

A 420-foot water frontage announces the estate before a single door is opened. Raw travertine, aged bronze, and the silence of a private island.

Architecture & Lifestyle

The Details That
Define Exceptional.

Materials
01

Materials

Raw travertine quarried in Tivoli. Bronze aged by hand. Glass that shifts from clear to opaque with a touch. We specify materials that improve with time.

Oceanfront
02

Oceanfront

Every great Miami residence begins with water. We understand the orientation, the light, the privacy, and the precise distance from the bay that defines a view worth owning.

Wellness
03

Wellness

The finest residences contain within them a complete ecosystem of recovery. Pools, spas, cold plunges, meditation pavilions — health is now the ultimate luxury amenity.

Privacy
04

Privacy

Gated approaches, biometric access, fortified glass, and grounds designed so that the outside world simply does not exist. Privacy is not a feature — it is the foundation.

Smart Home
05

Smart Home

Crestron and Savant systems that control climate, light, security, entertainment, and energy with the subtlety of a well-trained concierge. Technology invisible until needed.

Interior Design
06

Interior Design

Liaigre. Kelly Wearstler. Antrobus + Ramirez. The architects of interiors who understand that a room must have soul as well as proportion.

Off-market listings

Miami's Global Appeal

Miami has become the preferred second city for Manhattan, London, and São Paulo wealth. The inflow of ultra-high-net-worth buyers from Latin America, Europe, and the Northeast has structurally elevated the luxury floor price.

The Off-Market Premium

46% of our transactions close before a property ever appears publicly. Buyers who engage early access the market's true breadth — and often acquire at prices that would be unavailable in a competitive bid scenario.

Rental Intelligence

Waterfront estates on Star Island and Fisher Island command $150K–$400K per month in seasonal rental rates. For the right buyer, a primary residence can generate meaningful yield during unused periods.

Long-Term Outlook

Florida's zero state income tax, continued net migration of high earners, and constrained waterfront supply create conditions for sustained appreciation. Our clients buy as a lifestyle — and discover it performs like an asset.

Private Client

An Experience
Designed Around You.

From first conversation to post-purchase life, every step of the Maison States process is designed for clients who expect the extraordinary.

01

Discovery Call

60 minutes

A private conversation to understand not just your requirements, but your life. Architecture, neighborhood, lifestyle, investment horizon — we listen before we curate.

02

Curated Shortlist

72 hours

Within 72 hours, a bespoke selection of residences — including properties unavailable to the public. No more than six. Each chosen for you specifically.

03

Private Tours

By appointment

Exclusive access, outside of regular showing hours. You will never share a viewing with another buyer. We brief you on each property before you enter.

04

Negotiation

Your timeline

We represent your interests with the precision of an advocate and the intelligence of a market analyst. Our track record of below-ask closings speaks to this.

05

Closing Support

White-glove

A dedicated team manages every step from offer to keys — legal, title, mortgage, insurance, and every coordination in between. You focus on the vision.

06

Post-Purchase Lifestyle

Ongoing

Interior design introductions. Contractor relationships. Private staff placement. Property management. Rental optimization. Our relationship continues after closing.

Client Experiences
Maison States found us a Star Island estate that wasn't publicly listed. Three months after closing, a comparable property listed at 22% above what we paid. The access they have is simply not available anywhere else.
