Two keynotes. One living manifesto. A dine-around through the finest restaurants in Scottsdale.
Brian Solis took the stage at Palomino 1-5 this morning and asked us to examine the intersection of artificial intelligence and the irreplaceable human… the judgment, the instinct, the presence that no algorithm will ever replicate.
Abigail Posner walked to the podium and reframed everything. Expansiveness, she said, is not a luxury. In this era, it is a survival strategy.
The Collective drafted the REALM Manifesto together.
Leadership sessions filled the afternoon with the kind of peer-to-peer wisdom that only exists when the best people in an industry are willing to be honest with each other.
Tonight at Scottsdale Fashion Square, the Collective dressed up and celebrated golden hour the way this industry deserves to celebrate it.

Day One of REALM Global Collective 2026…
arrivals that felt like reunions and affirmation tokens given upon arrival.
Tonight at the Desert Oasis Welcome Reception, Kelley James performed poolside as the Arizona sun dropped behind the mountains.
Members gathered in the golden last light, listening to Abigail Posner and Julie Faupel ignite the week with a Spark Conversation that left the room leaning forward.
This is not a conference. This is a Collective.
Day One proved it.

The Solstice has arrived…
in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Five hundred of the finest luxury real estate advisors around the globe have made their way here.
To this place. To this moment. The affirmation tokens are waiting. The week is about to begin.
Welcome to RGC 2026. The Solstice has arrived.

As we arrive in Scottsdale, we begin not with noise, but with presence.
At the Solstice—a moment of turning, of illumination—we’re honored to welcome Grant Golliher from Jackson Hole, Wyoming and the @diamondcrossranch on Wednesday.
His work reminds us that true influence isn’t commanded… it’s felt.
That leadership isn’t about control, but awareness. And that trust begins long before a word is spoken.
Through the quiet power of working with horses, we return to something essential:
Presence. Connection. Truth.
A grounding way to begin what’s ahead this week.
See you soon. 🌵
Every era needs the people willing to name what’s coming before everyone else can see it.
At RGC 2026: Solstice, we’re proud to introduce the REALM Futurists — the keynote voices, thought leaders, and visionaries who are actively shaping what luxury real estate becomes next.
Together, they’ll guide our Collective; 200+ of the top 1% in real estate - through one of the most ambitious sessions we’ve ever built: The Living Charter: “The Provenance of Luxury”.
In this collaborative dialogue, the Futurists and the REALM community will co-author something that has never existed before — The Provenance of Luxury, a printed living charter that defines the North Star Principles for the new era of the agent; the global real estate advisor.
This is navigational leadership for the future we will design together.
The REALM Futurists: Abigail Posner · Brian Solis · Moira Boyle · Asha Saxena · Mark McLaughlin · Julie Faupel · Matt Faupel · Paul Benson

Headline: The $30 Trillion Shift is already here.
By 2033, women in the U.S. are predicted to control over $30 trillion in assets.
But this isn’t just a wealth statistic—it’s a fundamental shift in the architecture of luxury real estate.
Today’s high-net-worth woman is an investor, an entrepreneur, a multiple income stream earner, and savvy.
She isn’t just looking for a home; she is an economic anchor navigating complex assets, new ideas, and legacy strategies. She doesn’t want a transaction; she demands an intellectual partnership.
Is your real estate practice designed to lead this demographic?
We’re opening the doors to our private Leading Minds community this coming Wednesday for a strategic briefing with @mercer_advisors
We’re discussing how the modern luxury advisor becomes an indispensable member of a client’s wealth council. https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/s1GQLf8aR3-kqfEoYct0SA#/registration

The Collaboration Edit
London → Puget Sound, WA
As more global clients explore opportunities and lifestyle moves to the U.S. and abroad, trusted cross-market relationships have never been more important.
In this edition of The Collaboration Edit, a REALM advisor in London connected with a fellow member in the greater Puget Sound region, creating a seamless referral for a client relocating to the Pacific Northwest.
Moments like these are a reminder that REALM isn’t just a network of markets — it’s a network of trusted advisors connected across continents. 🌎✨
Thank you, Jonathan Hopper of @garringtonuk and @pnwislandguy of @compass for sharing your success story at REALM.
