PUBLISHER’S NOTE
CHAIRMAN John Brian Losh PRESIDENT Meghan Barry
My Favorite Things
VP OF MARKETING Kate Ledbetter CREATIVE DIRECTOR James Short WRITER Chantele Machado
Since early 2020, we’ve grown accustomed to living with more uncertainty, adversity and perpetual change. Through trying times, we gain a heightened sense of self-awareness and acknowledgement of the things that mean the most to us. I am a maker of lists and a collector of data. I track what I do, who I see and the goals I have for my business and my life. This ritual helps me stay focused on the activities that keep me productive and those little things that make me happy. Here are a few of these things that bring me joy: • A Great Martini: Look for my recipe in the next issue of Luxury Real Estate Magazine.
Luxury Real Estate Magazine is published by Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate. For magazine inquiries, please call 800.488.4066 or e-mail editorial@luxuryrealestate.com.
• Ribs: BBQ pork ribs are the perfect meal.
Copyright ©2021 by Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate.
• Traveling: I love to travel and have been to over 130 countries and territories.
All rights reserved. All properties advertised are subject to prior sale, change or withdrawal without notice. Material in this publication may not be reproduced in any form without permission.
• Exercise and the Outdoors: In my time, I’ve been a skier, runner, yogi, wrangler and I’ve always liked long walks. • Professional and Amateur Sports: For Seattle Prep Basketball, Husky Football and Mariners Baseball, I’m fan #1. To me, this remains one of life’s greatest gifts and I can’t wait for my next big trip.

exceeded its original goal
of raising $90,000 from agent contributions for local charities to celebrate its 90th year. Combined with company contributions, the organization donated over $135,000 to support important nonprofit work including animal rights, the arts, fighting homelessness and more. Each office selected charities to receive their contribution and they included Our House, Beat the Streets, Rescuing Hope, Elm Street Cultural Arts Center, United Way, among others.
Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club
recently held their 19th
Annual 5K Walk/Run, raising $18,000 to support local charity United Against Poverty IRC (UP).

Despite cool temperatures and windy conditions, over 50 Orchid Island members and family guests participated.

By setting up a GoFundMe page and encouraging all its associates to participate, BHHS Georgia was able to provide much-needed support to residents and first responders who were involved in the aftermath of this powerful storm.

An Interview with LRE Chairman ®
John Brian Losh How did you get your start in real estate? My start in real estate was pretty simple. When I was getting ready to graduate from college in 1971, I looked around and I thought about the people who I had met who were successful, people I had done business with and who influenced my life. Almost all of them were in the real estate business. In 1971, 50 years ago, I joined Ewing & Clark. I bought the company in 1976 and by the mid-eighties we were doing more and more referral business around the globe. People moving to and from Seattle, but there was really no central source of contacts. And so, I started Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate with a few friends that I had met around the country. We started out with less than a hundred and now were close to 500 of the best brokers in the world.
What inspires you to succeed? In this business we help families from the very beginning. I am always inspired when I help a family move into their first home. And then when they move on from their starter home to their transition home, and then buy a secondary home or finally the home of their dreams. I’m also inspired by the generational aspect of it, when people buy for their children and their children’s children. It’s always exciting and always changing. It’s always improving someone’s life.
LuxuryRealEstate.com 29
How did you choose your own home? I live in Seattle, where I have lived my whole life. If you live in Seattle, the goal is to either have a view home or one to live on the water, Lake Washington or Puget Sound. I was fortunate enough to, at a very young age, stumble across an obscure listing on Lake Washington that needed a little fixing up. So, my wife and I bought it and 40 years later, I’m still living there and enjoying every minute. I love Seattle.
What are your favorite places to travel? Building the Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate network has allowed me to visit over 130 countries and territories, each one is exciting and unique. Choosing my favorite is tough, but I would have to say Italy, because of the excitement, diversity, food, and at the top of every chair lift, there’s a bar. I particularly enjoy visiting Venice, it’s my favorite city in the world.
Describe your perfect martini. Start with a lot of gin, only gin. Add just a drop of vermouth, a lot of ice. Shake the mixer until it is covered in frost. Then pour into ice cold glasses with two olives and a lemon twist. Can’t beat it. – Look for the full recipe in the November issue of Luxury Real Estate Magazine.
What Inspired the Start of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate? I started Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate in 1986 because as a broker in Seattle I needed contacts throughout the world to help me serve my high end clientele, and I knew others would also have this need. We started with maybe 30 or 40 members and before we knew it, we were up to 500.
What are Some of LRE ’s Biggest Accomplishments Over the Last 35 Years? ®
Beyond the growth of the network, awards we’ve received, launching LuxuryRealEstate.com, the origin of our magazine and product innovations over the years, I have a lot of pride in the connections we build between our people. We’ve connected together in Aspen, Monaco, Paris, Costa Rica, London, Rome, Beverly Hills, New York, and have skied in Europe for decades. The real highlight is that at every Fall Conference, we give a Lifetime Achievement Award to some of the most interesting and accomplished real estate brokers in the world.

35 YEARS LIVING ROOM OF
90’S
In contrast to the vibrant and gaudy design trends of the eighties, the nineties was all about
getting back to basics. A piqued interest in minimalist design and Japanese influences sparked a rise in neutral colors, creamy tones and blonde woods. To offset the neutral color palette, it was popular to add pops of color, like red, blue or hunter green, often in the form of an accent wall. Walls were a large focal point in the nineties, it was very stylish to have sponge-painted walls and faux finishes to give them a texturized effect. In the latter half of the decade, prints and patterns made a notable comeback, namely damask and florals.
80’S
The eighties was an era that embraced bold, loud and over-the-top design. Cotton candy pastels and extravagant drapery juxtaposed with glass block walls and chunky entertainment centers defined eighties living room décor. An abundant use of floral chintz and lace curtains were the hallmark of the Shabby Chic style
that was fashionable at the time. Memphis Design was similarly popular; pulling elements from both Art Deco and Pop Art, the colorful geometric shapes and distinctive patterns of Memphis Design were quintessential to the decade.
Early
2000’S Interior design in the early two-thousands was greatly influenced by exponential advancement in technology as well as a dramatic increase in eco-conciousness. Living rooms saw a movement toward an open floorplan with low-profile yet functional furnishings, often made from sustainable materials. Paint colors turned more adventurous and warm greys became the new neutral tones. Dark browns and deep reds were also a favorite, as Tuscan-inspired décor was extremely trendy. A push toward greater personal expression also influenced a more eclectic style, vintage pieces intermixed with Victorian-themed accessories and retro light fixtures were unique ways to add personality.

The last ten years of living room design has given rise to Scandinavian minimalism and hygge qualities, an embraced Danish expression used to describe a mood of coziness and comfort. Clean lines, white-on-white décor and an appreci-
ation for natural materials prevail. A variety of textures and patterns are often used to punch up the monochromatic look. Modern Farmhouse style also hit a peak. Shiplap walls, sliding barn doors and dark industrial fixtures surged in popularity along with mason jars and framed word art. The elegant and rustic aesthetic creates a warm and inviting ambiance that is still envied today.
