Kaitlyn Curtius

Kaitlyn “Kait” Curtius is a luxury residential advisor serving buyers throughout South Florida and California, with a focus on South Florida, Orange County and the San Francisco Bay Area. Licensed in both Florida and California, she specializes in representing buyers seeking exceptional primary residences, second homes, investment properties, and luxury pre-construction opportunities.

In South Florida, Kait works closely with the nationally recognized Liz Hogan Group at Compass, one of the country’s leading luxury real estate teams. Her clients benefit from the combined strength of Compass’s industry-leading platform, the marketing expertise of the Liz Hogan Group, and Kait’s dedicated focus on acquisitions and buyer advocacy.

Kait’s practice is intentionally structured around buyer representation. By focusing exclusively on buyers, she is able to dedicate her time to sourcing opportunities, monitoring inventory, evaluating market trends, and advising clients through complex acquisitions. Because she is continually analyzing active inventory, private exclusives, off-market opportunities, and new development offerings, she maintains an exceptionally current understanding of the luxury residential markets she serves.

What distinguishes Kait is her firsthand understanding of luxury homeownership. Having personally acquired, furnished, managed, and enhanced significant luxury residences, she understands that purchasing an exceptional property is only the beginning of the ownership journey. Her clients benefit from practical insight that extends well beyond the transaction itself, helping them evaluate not only the property, but also the lifestyle, operational considerations, and long-term opportunities that accompany ownership.

Kait is particularly knowledgeable in South Florida’s luxury pre-construction market, advising clients on premier new developments from reservation through closing. She assists buyers in evaluating floor plans, view corridors, developer offerings, construction timelines, and long-term value considerations while strategically negotiating contract terms, deposit structures, upgrades, incentives, and other opportunities that can materially enhance the overall purchase. Her hands-on experience with luxury new development transactions helps clients navigate a process that is often far more nuanced and negotiable than many buyers realize.

Passionate about architecture, construction, and design, Kait helps clients identify opportunities to enhance both the enjoyment and value of a residence. Whether evaluating a potential acquisition, planning a renovation, or furnishing a newly purchased home, she provides thoughtful guidance informed by firsthand experience and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and quality.

Clients frequently rely on her trusted network of architects, builders, contractors, landscape architects, interior designers, estate managers, household staffing agencies, and specialized service providers to help execute their vision and ensure a seamless transition following the acquisition of a new residence.

Drawing on longstanding relationships with premier European manufacturers and suppliers, Kait also assists clients with sourcing luxury furnishings, lighting, and finishes directly from Italy and other leading design centers. Her experience navigating the furnishing and design process provides clients with access to exceptional craftsmanship, customization opportunities, and resources often unavailable through traditional retail channels.

Known for her discretion, responsiveness, attention to detail, and highly personalized approach, Kait serves as a trusted advisor throughout every stage of the ownership journey. Whether helping a family acquire a waterfront estate, secure an off-market opportunity, purchase a second home, or transform a newly acquired property into a fully realized residence, she is committed to delivering exceptional service and guidance long after closing.
