Letter From The Founder There is a question I am asked often: "Why create a broker-agnostic platform?" The answer has always been simple. Because our clients don't experience luxury through brokerage brands. They experience it through people. They remember the advisor who anticipated every need before it arose. The designer who transformed a house into a home. The architect who imagined what others couldn't see. The concierge who opened doors that otherwise remained closed. They remember relationships, not logos. When I founded Métier Maison, I envisioned something that didn't exist—a place where the finest real estate professionals could come together regardless of the brokerage they represent. A community built not on competition, but on collaboration. One that celebrates excellence, shares ideas, creates meaningful partnerships, and ultimately elevates the experience we provide to our clients. For too long, our industry has operated in silos. Yet the most extraordinary transactions often happen because professionals trust one another, share opportunities, and understand that success grows when relationships come before rivalry. That belief has become the foundation of Métier Maison. Today, our community spans respected advisors across luxury markets who collectively represent billions in career sales, alongside world-class interior designers, architects, builders, developers, hospitality leaders, and luxury brands. Each brings a unique perspective, but together we share a common purpose: to raise the standard of what luxury service can be.
The future of real estate isn't about standing apart. It's about standing together. As markets evolve and technology continues to reshape our profession, one truth remains constant: people will always seek trusted relationships. They will always value discretion, expertise, thoughtful guidance, and authentic human connection. That is why Métier Maison will always remain broker-agnostic.Because the strongest network isn't built by asking people to choose sides. It's built by bringing exceptional people under one umbrella—where ideas are shared freely, opportunities are created collectively, and every member becomes stronger because of the community surrounding them. This magazine is a reflection of that philosophy. It celebrates remarkable homes, inspiring design, meaningful partnerships, and the people redefining luxury around the world. To every advisor, designer, partner, and client who has believed in this vision, thank you. We're only just beginning.

From there, head north to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve.

At the end of your hike, take a nice ocean dip to rejuvenate yourself.

Trends come and go, but a kitchen island remains non-negotiable. “Most people see the kitchen as the heart of the home and the main gathering space, so large kitchen islands and charming breakfast nooks have grown increasingly popular among my buyers,” says Megan Sullivan of Douglas Elliman.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY – Three women who run their own real estate, art or lifestyle companies have formed a partnership to pamper the ultra-rich, doing everything from selling them homes to making travel arrangements and helping their clients acquire art. Art expert Jennifer Findley, director and lead curator of JFiN Collective, Khaki Wennstrom, founder of Métier Maison real estate in Rancho Santa Fe, and Michelle St. Clair, CEO and founder of Elite Lifestyle Management, got the idea of teaming up after realizing, during a lunch get-together that they often shared clients or had clients that needed the services that the others provide. “It was kind of really a bit of us getting together and talking about what we did,” Findley said. “One of the brilliant aspects of this collaboration is that we’re all working with similar clientele. Michelle has brought me clients, I have brought Khaki clients and it’s this beautiful synergy.” read more HERE
