The Agency’s Paul Lester and Sandro Dazzan, Westside Estate Agency’s Kurt Rappaport, Stephen Shapiro, Official’s Tyrone McKillen and Tal Alexander joined guests during the evening of Thursday, October 5th at a home known as The Edge, one of the five artful luxury, oceanview homes currently on the market by renowned designer Scott Gillen, creator of The Case community.
The Edge residence—a state-of-the-art, turn-key blufftop architectural estate that overlooks the Malibu shoreline—isn’t just special because of its beauty. The offering showcases what is most unique about The Agency as a whole: a true example of collaboration. This A-team group of agents singularly representing The Case speaks to the power of collective knowledge, networks and expertise. The most exceptional agents representing the most exquisite properties in Malibu? Sounds like a recipe for success.
Guests at the event were enchanted by the views, vision and architecture—not to mention the incredible ambiance of the gathering, which featured catering by Nobu, served Omakase style. So much so that they stayed late to enjoy the breathtaking sunset and the magnificent ocean views.
The Case made headlines starting in its pre-construction phase that took over eleven years, intriguing purveyors of fine real estate with its concept and location. And it has certainly delivered. The private, 24-hour guard gated community of five newly constructed mid-century modern inspired estates perched above Malibu Colony Beach sits on 24 acres.
“Collaboration is really the key to success in this market of today,” said Paul. “It is the cornerstone of what The Agency has stood for from its inception as a company. Now more than ever it is important to bring the collaborative spirit to the front of deal making. This group of uber-brokers representing The Case is that perfect master mix of dealmakers designed to bring the project to success for all.”
