“It’s really not often that you get to see everyone in the same place,” Jason Oppenheim of The Oppenheim Group said Wednesday. “It’s pretty much just The Hollywood Reporter Power Broker Awards that I get to see everyone in one room. That’s really cool. That makes this special.”

Oppenheim was joined by colleague and Selling Sunset co-star Mary Bonnet to present THR‘s fourth annual Power Broker Awards. Neither was apprehensive. Instead, they were thrilled to be able to present awards of merit to friends and associates. “I would say I’m way more nervous at some other award shows,” Oppenheim said. “But I feel comfortable in front of these people. We do deals with them. I see them every day.”

Eclectic brokers, dressed in everything from evening gowns to well-worn jeans, mingled outdoors at the serene and elegant Swan Lake and the Hotel Bel- Air, where the awards ceremony was held.

Some of New York City’s biggest names in real estate were in attendance at The Hollywood Reporter‘s third annual New York Power Broker Awards. The ceremony, held on July 29 at a private members’ club in lower Manhattan, honored the prestigious agents in eight categories.

This year’s New York Power Broker Awards party celebrated 30 agents who were featured on THR‘s 2024 Top New York Real Estate Agents list, exclusively chosen based on media visibility, sales numbers, and the prestige of properties listed. They were given awards in eight categories.

But a source inside the campaign tells Rolling Stone that the takeover Yiannopoulos is boasting about is “fake news” — or at least greatly exaggerated.

On Jan. 17, the top power players in Miami and Palm Beach’s hot residential real estate market — where two estates topped the 100 million mark last year — arrived at the Baz Luhrmann-designed Faena Theater in Miami Beach. They were gathered for the inaugural South Florida iteration of The Hollywood Reporter’s signature real estate event, the Power Broker Awards, which honors top-selling star agents across three cultural capitals. The awards event, which The New Yorker has called “The Oscars but for Hollywood Real Estate,” debuted in Los Angeles in 2021 and New York in 2022.

The third city to reach these ranks, Miami earned its place in the proverbial sun for its desirable home market, where sale prices have skyrocketed in the last few years and such names as Tom Ford, Future, Cindy Crawford and Sylvester Stallone have all bought residences in the last few years. “All eyes are on Miami,” said the night’s emcee,...
