GOLD COAST | SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY FOUNDER
Edmund DeSoto has specialized in the luxury real estate markets of world-renowned cities—New York, Paris, London, and Florida’s Gold Coast—since the 1990s. His entry into high-end real estate was shaped by his formative work under the esteemed Michele Bouquier at the French Government Tourist Office in New York. There he led international marketing for Club France, a private enterprise within the French Government Tourist Office dedicated to promoting travel to France and the Principality of Monaco.
That early exposure to luxury, culture, and global branding laid the foundation for a career built on excellence and distinction. With a deep appreciation for design, heritage, and L’art de vivre, or the art of living, Edmund offers a seasoned and thoughtful perspective to luxury real estate in Palm Beach, New York, London, Paris, and Monaco.
He has further refined his vision by establishing a dedicated Modern New Construction division within his Gold Coast | Sotheby’s International firm—an inspired evolution that has since enabled discerning clients to access some of the most architecturally significant and thoughtfully conceived contemporary residences in the Gold Coast region of Florida.
As an affiliated advisor with ONE | Sotheby’s International Realty, he provides clients more than just property expertise—he delivers a tailored, discreet experience built on trust, insight, and integrity.
During his time at the French Government Tourist Office, Edmund collaborated with renowned brands like Moët & Chandon, Chanel, Dior, and the Louvre, honing a refined sensibility for exceptional experiences. Today, that instinct informs his work with high-value properties and a discerning clientele. Known for his calm authority, market precision, and discretion, Edmund specializes in iconic waterfront estates, penthouses, and long-term investments, earning trust through decisive action and stylish results.
Outside of real estate, Edmund is an accomplished writer and classical pianist. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, Edmund DeSoto offers a bold yet refined experience—rooted in a global tradition of excellence and a passion for elevated living.
