Trophy-asset markets are local even when the capital is global. A Monaco apartment is bought through a handful of agents who know which owners might sell; a London house is bought under English conveyancing rules with exchange of contracts; a Dubai villa can close in weeks through the Dubai Land Department; Zurich is where many families hold the banking and trust structures behind all three; and in New York a co-op purchase depends on the approval of the building's board. The right adviser depends on where the asset sits.
Each city page explains how its market works and lists the curated professionals by discipline, with separate pages for real estate, superyachts, private banking, legal, aviation and art advisory in each location. Firms with an international mandate appear in the city of their headquarters and are marked as global.
