[ALUMNI SUCCESS STORIES] - Luxury Real Estate: Benjamin Franco

Benjamin Franco began in real estate as a sales assistant for a boutique brokerage firm on the Upper East Side while studying International Business. His passion for bespoke client services led him to then sell exotic cars for Ferrari and Jaguar/Land-Rover, before leaving the United States to earn his Master’s Degree in Luxury Business Management from IUM.  

Since returning stateside in 2018, his focus has been serving the marketing and design needs of preeminent Manhattan developers in new luxury residential construction. 

Drawing on his 10+ years of expertise advising on luxury lifestyle purchases, Benjamin excels at building exceptional client relationships and is a master in the art of negotiation. 

His love of New York City inspired him to join Douglas Elliman and raise the bar on the quality of service he could offer to his buyers and sellers. 

Outside of consulting for his clients, he is always finding an excuse to head back to Monaco - his self-proclaimed second home, roaming the Upper East Side for architectural gems and diligently studying Italian.
