Company Overview
Having spearheaded various real estate enterprises in the past 25 years, Harold X. Clarke has shifted the paradigm around real estate transactions for ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals. We have mastered the exact manner to engage this highly sophisticated audience. Our approach replaces the flawed methodologies employed by most real estate sales and marketing companies for decades. The typical brokerage model is a thing of the past or for commonplace sales and marketing. Our answer is to quietly offer exquisite opportunities directly to the most elite of buyers, an audience with demanding tastes, a keen eye for investment value, tremendous purchasing power, and most critically, extraordinary influence when expertly inspired. UHNW individuals cannot be sold to. They must instead, be afforded exclusive access to limited opportunities that have been specifically curated for them. Public marketing and promotion are therefore not the right tactics. All communications need to be private, personal, and entirely out of the public’s view. We have perfected this process, bringing UHNW individuals to the right opportunities at the right time. The global elite trust us to afford them access to the finest opportunities the world has to offer.
"I try to approach my profession like any master craftsman... with a keen eye, steadfast patience and a trained hand.”

It takes courage to not be the same.
Harold X. Clarke developed a strong sense of ownership of the very real issues and
tough decisions required of individuals with great wealth at a young age. His natural competitive and perfectionist instinct, coupled with a deep, personal understanding of the mindset of the elite, led to building trusted business relationships with a global network of powerful clients for whom privacy and discretion are paramount. Recognizing that the big-box corporate real estate brands are falling increasingly short of fulfilling the real estate needs of the UHNW and dissatisfied with the relatively small number of developments in the world that check all the boxes for these individuals. Harold X. Clarke founded Private Listings to reshape the luxury lifestyle market. One of the world’s foremost experts on the ultra-prime market, he focuses his efforts on curating the most exquisite real estate around the world and facilitating business transactions globally in a manner that values confidentiality above all else.
