The Art of the Mega-Deal, by Gary Hersham
Gary Hersham - founder of PrimeResi's No.1-ranked PCL Boutique Estate Agency in 2019, Beauchamp Estates - has been instrumental in many of London's most expensive ultra-prime property sales in recent years. From under-the-radar mansions to headline-grabbing penthouses, he's brokered deals with some of the wealthiest people in the world for their most coveted - and personal - big-ticket assets; their homes. Exclusively for PrimeResi, Hersham reveals his secrets for dealing with the ultra-rich, and getting a residential property mega-deal over the line.
Gary Hersham is a founding Partner of Beauchamp Estates, a privately owned firm with some thirty years of experience in both the residential and commercial markets, specialising in acquiring and selling prime central London houses, flats and developments.
