OWNER/PRINCIPAL BROKER
Hope J. King-Gilbert, the founder of The Ultimate Properties would certainly stand out as the Who's Who among the most knowledgeable brokers throughout The Hamptons, Manhattan and Florida. Her strength lies in her ability to provide discreet, conscientious services to help bring together both buyers and sellers of distinctive properties worldwide. Her extensive background in interior design and art were further developed as CEO of her own interior decorating company, which today serves as a rare asset for any luxury real estate broker. Hope has a keen eye for design and her discriminating tastes in fine furnishings are as delicate as a butterfly's wings.
Hope has a long standing history as the CEO of several diverse corporations within the entertainment industry. She has worked with many famous clients, including some of Hollywood's finest as well as legendary recording artists in helping them sell or find a distinctive Manhattan or Hampton's home that's just as unique as they are. Her clientele understands the difference between the ordinary and the exceptional when it comes to high value real estate.
Unlike any of the national luxury franchises, Hope offers local expertise and is the only one who can give existing home owners access to a short list of qualified buyers worldwide through The Ultimate Properties website, local MLS services and through the first and only private international MLS system of its kind. When it comes to marketing luxury real estate, Hope has developed a comprehensive program that showcases a deep appreciation of each home's unique qualities through online Internet marketing and high end luxury home magazine advertising channels. All of which have continually proven successful in helping her to find the perfect local, national or international home buyers for her clients.
When Hope isn't busy as one of New York's most fashionable real estate brokers, she has often volunteered her time with children at The Hospital for Special Surgery. Hope is also the founder and Chairwoman of the non-profit group; SCORE(Senior Citizens Organized Recreational Effort). For more than 30 years she has personally brought entertainment and music into the lives of elderly people at nursing homes and assisted living facilities by personally sponsoring 400 shows per year throughout the Tri-state area. Hope has also written three books related to her various business endeavors, and her most intimate thoughts are reflected in the poetry that she writes.
The butterfly has become the symbol of Hope's active role as she continues to support the arts and stays current on interior design trends. Which comes as no surprise as to why Hope continues to be a respected business leader throughout the Hampton, Manhattan, Maryland and Florida areas.
