How we work

Clear incentives. Documented advice. Room to say no.

A plain-language account of the structure behind our representation—and the questions every client should feel comfortable asking.

The basic promise

You should be able to see the structure around the advice

Real estate decisions can carry financial, family, privacy, and timing consequences at once. Good representation should make the important relationships and incentives easier to understand—not hide them behind industry language.

Luxury Realty International, LLC is a New York real estate brokerage led by Anthony Clemenza, its Broker of Record. The firm represents clients in New York and coordinates properly documented broker referrals for work handled elsewhere.

These commitments describe our operating standard. The exact brokerage relationship and duties still depend on the jurisdiction, the transaction, and the written agreement used for your matter.

What that means in practice

Six commitments you can hold us to

You will know who represents whom

Before substantive work begins, we explain the brokerage relationship available in the jurisdiction, what duties it creates, and where any consent or written agreement is required.

Compensation is discussed before it becomes a surprise

Brokerage compensation is negotiated in writing for the particular engagement. We explain who may pay it, how credits or outside compensation affect it, and the limit on what can be collected.

Referral arrangements are visible

If another brokerage will handle part or all of a matter and a broker-to-broker referral fee may be paid, we disclose the arrangement and ask for the required client acknowledgement before the introduction proceeds.

Recommendations do not remove your choice

You remain free to choose your own attorney, lender, title company, inspector, insurer, designer, contractor, and other professionals. LRI has no owned, compensated, or preferred provider relationship in these categories.

Important advice is documented

Price, timing, offer, negotiation, privacy, and walk-away recommendations should be clear enough to revisit later. We put consequential advice in writing so the decision does not depend on memory.

Restraint is part of representation

A responsible recommendation may be to wait, prepare further, reduce risk, renegotiate, reject an offer, or walk away. The goal is not a transaction at any cost. It is a sound decision made with the relevant facts in view.

Attorney and broker

Two professional roles, kept clear

Anthony Clemenza is both a New York attorney and a licensed New York real estate broker. That experience informs the care brought to a brokerage matter, but the roles are not interchangeable.

Hiring LRI as a brokerage does not retain Anthony or any law firm as legal counsel, create an attorney-client relationship, or make brokerage communications legally privileged. Legal representation requires a separate written legal engagement.

When independent legal advice is appropriate, clients are encouraged to choose their own attorney. LRI can coordinate with that attorney as part of the real estate process.

Five questions about your brokerage relationship

Who is representing me, and what duties do they owe in this engagement?
How will my broker and brokerage be paid, and by whom?
Is anyone receiving a referral fee or another financial benefit connected to my matter?
Am I free to choose my own attorney, lender, title company, inspector, insurer, and other professionals?
How will important recommendations—and any conflicts—be disclosed and documented?

Ask the difficult question before the difficult moment

If you want a second opinion on price, timing, terms, privacy, or negotiation posture, begin with a discreet conversation.
