Luxury is a Language.
One spoken fluently by those who understand the nuance of international moves, long-distance dreams, and deeply personal transitions. We believe real estate is more than property. It’s a lifestyle, identity, and belonging. And that doesn’t stop at a border.
We know the best global connections start with the right introductions. That’s why we work with trusted partners with expertise in international lifestyle and real estate. Through these collaborations, we offer our clients a curated, high-touch experience that extends far beyond Wine Country to the world’s most iconic destinations.
Global Moves,
Seamlessly Managed
Every international journey begins with understanding.
When clients come to us, they’re rarely just asking about real estate. They’re asking how life might feel somewhere new. About pace, culture, privacy, comfort, and daily rhythm. Our role is to listen carefully, then shape a path forward that reflects the full picture.
From there, we curate the experience. Sometimes that means introducing a trusted real estate partner abroad. Other times, it means sourcing relocation experts, technology solutions, or lifestyle resources that support a seamless transition.
In select destinations, Maurice and Matt serve as lifestyle guides themselves, offering firsthand insight shaped by years of travel and local familiarity. Whether navigating neighborhoods, culture, or the details clients often overlook, we anticipate needs and simplify complexity.
Every introduction is thoughtful. Every relationship is vetted. And throughout the process, we remain closely involved, creating continuity and confidence across borders.

Maurice’s
Global Eye
Real estate is more than a transaction, it’s a way of life. Maurice brings an international lens to the Living in Wine Country experience, shaped by his personal travels, global relationships, and love of design, culture, and connection.
Whether it’s Lisbon or London, our clients often look to us for more than real estate advice, they trust us for lifestyle insight, travel wisdom, and well-placed introductions. Maurice brings a rare international fluency to our work, shaped by his own travels, personal connections, and instinct for finding beauty across borders. His perspective brings depth and intention to every global move.
“the best experience is equal parts home and lifestyle. IN LONDON I’ll point you to a townhouse in Belgravia, but also to a table at SCOTT’S IN MAYFAIR — you should feel at home in both.”
