About Strata Estates
Built on relationships, not transactions.
Since 2014, we have represented a deliberately small number of exceptional residences each year — chosen for their architecture, their light, and the life they make possible. Today we work across 18 cities, but the way we work with each client has not changed.
Our story
It started with one house we refused to over-market.
Strata began in 2014 with a simple disagreement: that a great home deserved a slower, quieter sale than the industry standard allowed. Our founder turned down mass open-houses and blanket listings in favor of one-on-one introductions — and the first residence sold in nine days, to a family who never felt rushed.
That approach became the firm. We still take on a limited number of residences each year, still meet every client before we show a single property, and still measure success by how the move feels a year later — not just by closing day.

Client retention
What guides us
Four principles we do not compromise on.
Integrity
We tell clients when a residence is wrong for them — even when it costs us the sale.
Craft
Every listing is photographed, measured and written about like it matters, because it does.
Discretion
Off-market conversations stay off-market. Your search is never shared without permission.
Longevity
We think about how a home holds up in ten years, not just how it photographs today.
