Thinking about selling your Palm Beach condo and wondering how to stand out in a market where view, line, and floor can change everything? You’re not alone. Luxury buyers here expect a polished experience, from the first photo to the final walk-through. In this guide, you’ll see exactly how our concierge plan helps you price with precision, present with impact, market to the right audiences, and move from offer to closed with confidence. Let’s dive in.
Why Palm Beach luxury condos sell differently
Luxury condo sales in Palm Beach are hyper-local. Buyers compare units by building, line, exposure, and floor, and they weigh amenities, direct ocean or Intracoastal access, and parking or storage. Cash is common, and international and second-home buyers make up a meaningful share of demand.
Seasonality matters. Listing ahead of the fall-to-spring high season can position you for stronger activity once seasonal residents arrive. Your timeline should allow for prep before peak months so your condo hits the market ready.
Pricing is nuanced. Price-per-square-foot is only a starting point. You need same-building comps and thoughtful adjustments for view, outdoor space, renovations, and parking.
Our concierge plan, step by step
Week 1: Market audit and pricing
We start with a same-building analysis and immediately comparable options. We factor in your floor, exposure, view, finishes, and storage. You get a pricing strategy that balances market-readiness with your goals, plus a plan for how we’ll adjust based on early feedback.
Weeks 1–2: Association and title pre-check
We request association documents early to avoid bottlenecks. Expect bylaws, budget and financials, reserve information, recent board minutes, insurance certificates, special assessment notices, and litigation disclosures. We also confirm estoppel timelines and fees so closing stays on track.
Weeks 1–2: Pre-listing inspection
A general inspection helps us identify repair items and disclosure needs before buyers do. We also confirm key building amenities and any unit-specific features that affect value. Early insight improves pricing accuracy and minimizes surprises during inspections.
Weeks 2–4: Smart repairs and refinements
We focus on high-impact updates like lighting, minor kitchen or bath refreshes, and flooring touch-ups. If you’ve added impact windows or upgraded mechanicals, we highlight that for buyers. The goal is to maximize perceived value without over-improving for the building.
Weeks 3–5: Luxury staging and styling
Staging is calibrated to your unit’s scale and views. Quality furnishings, art, and lighting frame the lifestyle buyers want, especially for second-home shoppers seeking move-in ready options. If a furnished sale is on the table, we help you define inclusions and prepare an inventory list.
Weeks 4–6: Signature media package
Your condo deserves best-in-class visuals. We produce professional photography, twilight images where appropriate, a 3D walkthrough, a polished video tour, and short-form social clips. We also confirm accurate floor plans and square footage.
Weeks 4–6: Property collateral and microsite
We create a property brochure and a dedicated landing experience for discreet sharing with qualified buyers and agents. These assets make it easy for out-of-area and international buyers to engage quickly.
Week 5: Quiet pre-market outreach
Before going live, we preview the listing to top-producing brokers and targeted buyer networks. Private tours and a broker open help surface serious interest and refine launch strategy based on real-time feedback.
Listing launch and showing plan
We launch on BeachesMLS and coordinate distribution to luxury channels and feeder markets. Showings are appointment-only, coordinated with building management for secure access. We share weekly reporting on inquiries, feedback, and next steps.
Pricing strategy for your building
We anchor your price to closed sales in your building, then adjust for line, view, floor, finishes, and parking or storage. From there, we choose a market-ready price or an aspirational price based on your timeline and the competitive set. We monitor showings and days on market, then recalibrate as needed to keep your condo leading the pack.
Transparency, documents, and association readiness
Prepared sellers win. Buyers and their attorneys will ask for governing documents, recent financials, reserve studies or schedules, insurance certificates, board minutes, and any notices related to assessments or litigation. Estoppel letters can take time and carry fees, so we order early.
Florida condominium matters are guided by Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes. We help you coordinate with your association and management to deliver what buyers need on time. You should also disclose any known material facts that could affect value, such as water intrusion, structural items, or open permits.
Risk, insurance, and buyer confidence
Coastal buyers look closely at flood and hurricane risk. Be ready with your flood zone information, any elevation data you have, and details on hurricane mitigation such as impact glass or shutters. Clarify the scope of the building’s master policy and typical HO-6 coverage needs so buyers can price insurance realistically.
If your building has rental restrictions, minimum lease terms, or approval requirements, we present that clearly. Use policies strongly influence investor and second-home demand and can be a positive differentiator.
Targeted marketing channels that reach qualified buyers
We tailor distribution to how luxury buyers shop. That includes the local MLS, broker networks throughout Palm Beach County and South Florida, and luxury exposure via established portals and lifestyle media. We supplement with high-end print collateral, targeted digital campaigns to feeder markets, and broker-only previews to accelerate qualified showings.
Privacy and security for high-profile sales
We protect your time and privacy with appointment-only showings and buyer vetting when appropriate. Broker previews, confidentiality requests, and close coordination with building security ensure orderly access. Our goal is to welcome serious buyers while keeping your residence and building secure.
From offer to closing
Expect a higher share of cash offers and, in some cases, limited appraisal contingencies. Common contingencies include inspections, financing when applicable, association document review, and attorney review. We set clear offer guidelines to compare terms fairly and keep negotiations focused on value.
Seller costs typically include brokerage fees, association transfer and estoppel fees, documentary stamp tax on the deed, and title or closing expenses. Timelines can be affected by association approvals and estoppel delivery, so we stay proactive with management and your chosen title company. If you are a foreign seller, FIRPTA withholding can apply; we coordinate with your tax and legal advisors.
What it costs and how we manage ROI
Concierge prep is tailored to your unit and building. Costs can include selective repairs, professional staging, premium photography and media, and high-quality print materials. We provide an upfront plan with estimated costs, timing, and the expected impact on marketability so you can invest where it counts.
