As we close out 2025, Ben Bryk and J. Vance Brinkerhoff of Vero Premier Properties — a signature division of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury — are reflecting on a year that was as much about professional growth as it was about serving our luxury clients. While we celebrated major milestones like launching our exclusive app and building our educational YouTube presence, a significant part of our success came from deliberate investment in training, education, and national networking.
 
At Vero Premier Properties, we believe the best way to deliver unparalleled service to luxury buyers and sellers is to stay at the forefront of the industry. In 2025, that meant prioritizing high-level training and forging strong relationships with top professionals across the country — especially in the Northeast feeder markets that fuel so much of Florida's luxury relocation activity.
 
Gen Blue in Las Vegas: Learning & Connecting at the Highest Level
 
Early in the year, we attended the prestigious Coldwell Banker Gen Blue meeting in Las Vegas — one of the brand's premier events for innovation, strategy, and collaboration.
 
This gathering brought together the top minds in real estate, and we walked away with fresh insights on emerging trends, luxury marketing strategies, and client experience excellence. Even more valuable were the strong working relationships we built with elite Coldwell Banker Global Luxury agents nationwide — particularly those in key Northeast markets like New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. These connections ensure seamless, coordinated service for clients relocating to Florida's Treasure Coast from up North.
 
Luxury Institute Training – Fort Lauderdale (October)
 
In October, we headed to Fort Lauderdale for the renowned Luxury Institute training program — an intensive, elite-level curriculum designed specifically for luxury real estate professionals.
 
The sessions were packed with advanced knowledge on concierge-level service, negotiation mastery, market positioning for high-end properties, and the psychology of affluent clients. We gained practical tools that directly enhance how we guide buyers and sellers through multimillion-dollar transactions in Vero Beach and beyond.
 
Coldwell Banker Global Luxury On Location – Miami (November)
 
November brought us to an inspiring Coldwell Banker Global Luxury On Location event in Miami — a dynamic networking opportunity with the nation's top luxury realtors.
 
We reconnected with colleagues, exchanged best practices, and discussed the evolving landscape of coastal and urban luxury markets. The highlight? Witnessing the exciting launch of the new Coldwell Banker lifestyle magazine — a beautifully curated publication that captures the essence of luxury living, from exquisite homes and destinations to art, design, and elevated experiences. This brand initiative perfectly aligns with our mission to showcase the Vero Beach lifestyle to discerning clients everywhere.
 
Why This Matters for Our Clients
 
These investments in training and relationships aren't just about us — they're about you. When you work with Vero Premier Properties, you benefit from:
 
  • Cutting-edge industry knowledge
  • A powerful national network for cross-market transactions
  • The highest standards of luxury service
Combined with our innovative tools (like the Vero Premier Properties app), weekly professional video content, and deep local expertise, this foundation positions us to deliver exceptional results for luxury buyers and sellers in Florida and the Northeast.
 
Looking Ahead to 2026
 
2025 was a year of growth through education and connection. In 2026, we’ll continue attending elite trainings, expanding our national partnerships, and bringing even more value to every client interaction.
 
Thank you for trusting us with your luxury real estate journey. Whether you're exploring Vero Beach's oceanfront estates, considering a relocation from the Northeast, or preparing to sell a premier property, we're here with the knowledge, network, and dedication to make it extraordinary.
