The Hauz representation
Twelve weeks. Twelve photographs. One short film. A small list of qualified buyers. We start by asking what you do not want.
Read about our approachHauz represents a small number of architect‑led residences each year. We work quietly — and only with buyers and sellers who want the same.
We represent fifty residences a year. Every one is read, walked, and photographed by a partner before we accept it.
You speak to the partner who knows the house. No call centres, no junior associates, no hand‑offs. Continuity is a service.
We sell houses the way architecture monographs are written — with deep attention to materials, light, and the maker behind the work.
Quiet, off‑market, private treaty — whatever the situation requires. Our clients tell us their plans. We do not tell anyone else.
A first conversation, in person where we can. We listen for the brief beneath the brief — the kind of light, the kind of life.
Private viewings at times that suit you. We walk the house with you, not just to it. Two viewings a day is our practical limit.
A senior partner leads every negotiation — never an associate. We do not lose deals on terms we should have caught.
We co‑ordinate inspection, escrow, attorneys and movers. We hand you the keys, and we stay in touch for the first year.

Read about our approachA discreet, in‑person appraisal led by a partner. No obligation, no entry on any database. We deliver the report by hand.
Begin a valuationThey walked the property with us for two hours before saying a word about price. By the time they did, my husband and I had decided — this is who we want to sell our father's house with. They were the only ones who treated the building as the thing they were selling.
"They closed the sale of a $14M property without a single open house. That was, exactly, the point."
"The kind of agent you want to introduce your sister to. Then your closest friend. Then a writer for the architecture press."
A few of the questions our buyers and sellers ask before we begin.
Ask us anythingTwelve months in the company of an architect who is no longer here. Notes on Pirelli flooring, walnut casework, and the moral question of replacing a thing that cannot be replaced.
The neighbourhood that used to be a side road is now where the next generation of mountain houses are being built. We mapped them.
A short, honest report from the field. Inventory, pricing, and the strange new behavior of the over-$10M buyer in February.
Tell us what you're looking for — neighbourhood, character, ceiling height, the kind of light you want in the morning. A partner will respond within four hours.
