Carolwood Estates Unveils 2025 Midyear Report

Carolwood Estates has made waves in the luxury real estate market by launching its 2025 Midyear Report, a substantial document outlining the firm's impressive performance thus far this year. In a competitive landscape, the boutique real estate firm managed to secure its place by being involved in four of the five highest sales in Los Angeles, thus achieving a remarkable market share for properties priced above $50 million.

As of mid-2025, Carolwood Estates accounted for 80% of all brokered transactions in the luxury property sector, consolidating its status as a leader in high-end real estate. At the forefront of these transactions was a staggering $110 million purchase made by Australian billionaire James Packer in Bel Air. Carolwood's CEO, Drew Fenton, was pivotal in this deal, representing Packer on the buy-side, while the seller was supported by a competent team of agents from Resnick Nash and Bond Street Partners.

The report highlights that Carolwood succeeded in three of Beverly Hills' four highest sales and led in several other prestigious neighborhoods including Trousdale, Los Feliz, and Silver Lake. Their experts have also made significant sales in Holmby Hills, Brentwood Park, and Mount Olympus, among others. The consistent presence and expertise of Carolwood's agents in these high-value markets showcase the firm's exacting standards and dedication to achieving success for its clients.

In addition to strong sales figures, Carolwood has recently gained recognition as the exclusive Los Angeles affiliate of Forbes Global Properties. This relationship not only enhances Carolwood's brand power but also aligns it with an international network that boasts an impressive $8 billion in sales volume. Established in March 2025, this partnership significantly expands Carolwood's marketing reach and provides its listings with access to a broad audience of affluent potential buyers, underscoring its role in connecting premium properties with discerning clientele.

The report also credits Carolwood's success to the talents of its agents, who are not only effective sales professionals but also recognized industry leaders. In February, several of them featured in the Los Angeles Business Journal’s list of the top 100 residential agents and teams. Furthermore, twenty-one agents made it to the esteemed RealTrends' top 1,000 ranking nationwide by the Wall Street Journal in June, affirming the firm's commitment to excellence.

Despite dominating the luxury market, Carolwood also demonstrated its versatility by facilitating $447 million in transactions for properties priced below $4 million, a notable 38% increase from the previous year. Notably, the firm has engaged in 60 transactions priced over $10 million, with about 32% of these being internal deals among Carolwood associates. This practice helps strengthen relationships within the firm and ensures streamlined operations.

As of mid-2025, Carolwood maintains a robust inventory estimated at $3.4 billion, with a substantial portion, around $1 billion, kept off-market. This strategic positioning indicates their proactive approach to capturing and managing exclusive listings. Additionally, they have introduced an in-house pocket listing app, reflecting their commitment to innovation and agent empowerment.

Throughout 2025, Carolwood has further solidified its status by presenting iconic properties such as a $177 million trophy property by developer Ardie Tavangarian and high-profile estates previously owned by celebrities, including Lizzo's striking $14 million Trousdale estate. All these developments culminate in a robust framework that supports Carolwood’s leading role in the luxury real estate landscape, effectively echoing their motto of excellence.

In essence, the 2025 Midyear Report released by Carolwood Estates is more than just statistics; it is a testament to the firm’s dominance and strategic ingenuity in the high-end market. Their continued growth and expansion plans indicate vibrant prospects ahead as they gear up to meet the ever-changing demands of affluent property clients.
