Personal thoughts from within the Luxury Real Estate network

Celebrities on the move
By Meghan Barry
It’s not unusual for the members of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate to represent high-profile individuals in a real estate transaction – actors, professional athletes, musicians, Fortune 500 CEOs and politicians are frequently on our members’ list of clients. Celebrities often demand the highest level of service, and have the means to afford luxury living.
Country-music superstar Kenny Rogers is selling his $7.9 million Atlanta, Ga. home to live full-time on his 150-acre estate in Athens, Ga., according to a Wall Street Journal article. Although he still tours part of the year, Mr. Rogers is thinking about retiring. “This may be my last year,” he says.
In Newsday, we find that stylist couple Jonathan Adler, judge of “Top Design,” and Simon Doonan, creative director for Barney’s, recently bought a second home on Shelter Island. “We stumbled upon Shelter Island and just instantly fell in love. It’s just so mellow and chill, and there’s something about that five-minute ferry ride, it keeps it all away.”
The Montana ranch of late fashion designer Liz Claiborne sold for close to its $7.5 million asking price, The Wall Street Journal said. About 75 miles north of Missoula, the ranch includes a private lake and a nearly 9,000-square-foot house with indoor pool, guest house, indoor riding arena and a helicopter pad.
Halstead Property represented Joy Behar of ABC’s “The View” in the purchase of a $2.555 million for a two-bedroom co-op apartment in the Astor Court building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
Husband-and-wife actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen sold their five-bedroom house in Malibu, Calif. for an undisclosed price – the property was listed for $16.75 million.
Editor’s Note:
Meghan Barry is the Executive Vice President of LuxuryRealEstate.com. She works closely with CEO/Publisher John Brian Losh to organize a variety of Luxury Real Estate programs, events and services. Lifestyles of the rich and famous – that’s the first thing that popped into my head when I read this blog entry. Luxury real estate is definitely a magnet for the wealthy and well-known, so it’s no wonder we find LuxuryRealEstate.com members working closely with big names.
