Wealth Redefined was a reminder of why I love this work.
On October 1, we brought together advisors, builders, and leaders from across the country for one day on 30A. We began at sunrise on the Gulf, spent the morning in conversation at the WaterColor Lakehouse, toured the gallery with Justin Gaffrey, and closed the night around a bonfire on 30A.
One idea kept coming up. Real estate today sits where wellness, wealth, and collaboration meet. How people choose to live shapes where they invest, and the best outcomes happen when the right people are in the same room.
Thank you to everyone who traveled in, to our panelists and sponsors, and to Private Network for Leading Luxury Real Estate Advisors for partnering with us. It was a privilege to host you.
Until next time.
A special thank you to our sponsors:

Just yesterday, The Richards Group, in collaboration with Realm Global, had the honor of hosting Wealth Redefined, a 30A salon event centered around meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and redefining what wealth can look like.
And while we’d love to take all the credit, that would be wildly inaccurate.
This event simply would not have been possible without the generous support of our incredible sponsors. Today, we’re giving them the spotlight they deserve.
A very big thank you to the following partners who helped bring Wealth Redefined to life. We invite you to check them out, show them some love, and get to know the people and brands behind the support.

We’re incredibly grateful to have had you be part of it. Thank you for helping us make Wealth Redefined one to remember.
People are always looking for the next great place, especially when the usual favorites start feeling a little too crowded and a lot more expensive.
I sat down with Toni Haber, a real estate advisor in New York, to talk about what she’s seeing from New Yorkers right now: where they’re vacationing, where they’re buying, and which destinations are starting to move the needle.
As some of the more traditional New York vacation markets become increasingly crowded and costly, buyers are expanding their search and considering places they may not have looked at before.
And yes, 30A is part of that conversation.

In April, I had the opportunity to sit down with Toni Haber, a real estate advisor in New York, at the Private Network for Leading Luxury Real Estate Advisors Collective in Scottsdale.
Our conversation touched on a trend I’ve been watching closely: the growing connection between New York and 30A.
More New Yorkers are discovering this stretch of Florida’s Gulf Coast, not only as a vacation destination, but as a place to call a second home. With increased national attention and easier accessibility, 30A is finding its way into conversations well beyond Florida.
At the end of our conversation, Toni asked, “When do I come to 30A?”
As it turns out, next week.
On October 1, Toni will be joining us for Wealth Redefined, and I’m looking forward to welcoming her to the community we spent so much time discussing in Scottsdale.
There’s something special about taking a conversation about 30A and bringing it to 30A.
See you next week, Toni!

Comment SAINT for more information.
A courtyard pool that behaves more like a second living room. Floor-to-ceiling glass keeps it in view from the kitchen, living and dining spaces, while a covered loggia with a built-in grill makes the whole setup feel decidedly more resort than backyard. Add deeded beach access, a gated Miramar Beach setting and a fully furnished contemporary interior, and Wednesday plans have officially been made.

I’m so pleased to be part of the Agents Against Cancer Gala in Chicago, bringing our community together for something much bigger than real estate. ❤️
This event supports the fight against cancer by raising awareness and funds for the American Cancer Society and cancer research.
If you’d like to contribute, please reach out. I’m more than happy to connect you with information on how to support the cause.
There are also still several tickets available. If you’ll be in the Chicagoland area and would like to attend, send me a message. I’d love to see you there.
Proud to support a cause that impacts so many of us. ❤️
Where can you go on the West End to feel like a local even when you’re just visiting for a great workout?
