The firm / since 2011
Small by design.
Global by reach.
A private advisory for exceptional homes and the people who live in them — founded in London, now across eighteen markets.
The story.
( 01 — About )
Born from a belief that real estate is personal.
VERA Estates began in 2011 as a two-person practice in London with a simple conviction: the right home changes how you live. Our founders wanted an agency that treated every search as a story — not a transaction.
Today we operate across eighteen markets on three continents, advising buyers, sellers, developers and investors. We have grown deliberately — never for its own sake — so that every client still works directly with a senior advisor who knows their name.
- Private advisory for buyers, sellers & investors
- Off-market access in the world’s prime markets
- Discreet, end-to-end transaction management
