The first press-verified public archive of luxury residential real estate. Provenance Record documents the transactions, the coverage, and the brokers who define the market, sourced exclusively from the editorial record.
We believe in transparency. In a market where rumors rival facts, where "off-market" deals outnumber public transactions, and where market knowledge is jealously guarded, we exist to create a single source of truth.
Every entry in Provenance Record is verified against published editorial. No speculation. No projections. Only transactions as documented by the world's most respected publications.
All transactions must be cited in recognized editorial publications: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, Financial Times, The Real Deal, Mansion Global, Robb Report, Architectural Digest, or equivalent regional/market publications.
Brokers and agents are identified by name. We do not list "undisclosed representatives" or anonymous agencies. Every transaction records which broker(s) represented which party.
We focus on transactions at the scale that commands editorial coverage: typically $10M+ in secondary markets, $15M+ in major metropolitan areas, and $25M+ for the most exclusive properties.
Each transaction includes the publication(s) that reported it. We archive the publication date, headline, and attribution. The press record is the primary source.
Transactions are dated by announcement/publication date, not by close date or prior listing date. We track the moment the market learned about the transaction.
We do not accept press releases, marketing materials, or press kit submissions. Every entry is drawn from published editorial coverage, never from promotional sources.
Provenance Record is a project of The SOCIETY Group, the strategic communications firm behind many of the most consequential names in luxury real estate. From New York and Los Angeles to the world's top markets, The SOCIETY Group documents, verifies, and celebrates the transactions, power brokers, and new developments shaping the industry, and maintains this archive as the record of the sales that define it. Some of the individuals and firms documented here are, or have been, clients of the firm. Inclusion in the archive is governed by editorial standards, not representation.
Our team monitors primary editorial sources daily. When a new luxury residential transaction is published, we extract key data: date, property address, sale price, broker representation, and publication(s). Each entry is verified against the original editorial and filed chronologically. This archive represents transactions as they entered the public record through editorial coverage.
Every entry in this archive is compiled from published editorial coverage and reflects the press record as reported at the time of publication. Provenance Record is a research archive, not an official registry, and figures may differ from recorded deeds or subsequent reporting. Nothing here constitutes legal, financial, or transactional advice. Corrections supported by published sources are welcome at provenancerecord@gmail.com.
