About Lumare
Monaco · Since 2014
We sell light, not square metres.
12 advisors
Three offices, six shorelines and one simple rule: we only sell homes we would live in.
Our story
Lumare began with one villa on the Amalfi Coast and a simple idea: a home on the water should be shown like a work of art.
In 2014, Mira Tanaka sold a glass villa above the Tyrrhenian Sea by inviting three buyers to see it at blue hour. It sold that night. That evening became our method.
Today we work on six shorelines with twelve advisors. We still visit every home in person, we still photograph it at blue hour, and we still say no to most of them.

Principles
Three rules we never break.
01
Light first
We judge a home by how it holds the light, at every hour of the day.
02
Fewer, better
We list fewer than one in ten homes we visit. Our list stays short on purpose.
03
Quiet service
One advisor, NDAs as standard, and no pressure. Ever.
The team
People who know the water.
Every client works with one advisor, from the first call to the keys.
