REALM, the invitation-only global membership organization for top luxury real estate professionals, has announced the addition of a multi-office contingent from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Spain and Dubai's Castilion Estates. The expansion deepens REALM's presence in two of the world's most dynamic markets for global private capital, reflecting the organization's strategic focus on the movement of ultra-high-net-worth individuals across borders.
The Spanish contingent, led by CEO Bruno Rabassa, brings coordinated coverage across Spain's prime coastal markets, including Marbella, the Costa del Sol, Mallorca, and the Costa Blanca. This comes at a time when Spain has solidified its position as a leading European destination for internationally mobile wealth. In Dubai, Castilion Estates, under CEO Mungi Adlan, operates at the heart of what has become a major hub for ultra-wealthy relocation. These additions are not coincidental but align with the findings of REALM's recent white paper, The Borderless Decade, which documents the unprecedented scale of cross-border capital movement in the luxury property market.
"The world's wealth is moving, and REALM was built to move with it," said Julie Faupel, Founder and CEO of REALM. "When a contingent of this caliber joins from Spain in the same season as a leader like Mungi Adlan in Dubai, it's not a coincidence – it's confirmation. The most exceptional advisors in the world's most dynamic markets are choosing the same institution, because they understand that their clients no longer live in one market. They live in motion."
Bruno Rabassa echoed this sentiment, noting that his clients arrive in Spain from around the globe and expect advisors to understand their world before they land. "REALM connects us to the advisors, the intelligence, and the relationships behind that movement. It was the clear next step for our organization," he said. Mungi Adlan added, "Dubai is where global wealth is choosing to live, and REALM is where the advisors serving that wealth choose to belong. Joining REALM places Castilion Estates inside a genuinely global community of peers – and places our clients inside a network that spans every market that matters to them."
REALM's growth is driven by its unique positioning as a brand-agnostic, invitation-only membership that includes over 150 competing brokerage brands working side by side. This network effect is something no single brand can replicate. The community now numbers approximately 600 advisors across 23 countries and more than 40 U.S. states, collectively representing over $50 billion in annual sales. Members benefit from proprietary REALM Match technology and REALM Intelligence powered by Scoop, which provide data-driven insights to serve their clients better.
The implications of this expansion are significant for the luxury real estate sector. As wealth continues to migrate across borders, the ability of advisors to provide seamless, global service becomes paramount. REALM's approach creates a trusted network where advisors can refer clients to vetted peers in other markets, ensuring that the high-net-worth individuals receive consistent, top-tier service wherever they choose to buy or sell. This model not only benefits the advisors but also enhances the experience for their clients, who increasingly expect their financial and lifestyle advisors to have a global perspective.
Spain and Dubai are particularly important in this context. Spain's appeal lies in its lifestyle, climate, and golden visa program, which have attracted significant foreign investment. Dubai, on the other hand, offers a tax-friendly environment, strategic location, and a luxurious lifestyle, making it a magnet for the ultra-rich. By strengthening its presence in these key corridors, REALM is positioning itself to capture the opportunities arising from the ongoing redistribution of global wealth.
The addition of these members is part of REALM's broader strategy to be the definitive global community for top-producing luxury advisors. As the luxury real estate market becomes increasingly international, the need for such networks will only grow. REALM's expansion signals that the industry recognizes the importance of cross-border connections in serving the world's most discerning clients.
