The Maison International Team

Launched over two decades ago during a chance meeting on a Trans-Siberian train trip through Mongolia and Russia, the Maison International Team has been uniquely inspired since its inception. For co-founders Elaine Comerford and Marie-Claire, the goal then was to connect passionate buyers with fine New York City homes, whether they were moving across the park or around the globe.
Fast-forward 25 years, and the Maison International Team has expanded from an apartment listing service run out of a tiny two-bedroom to a full-service residential real estate powerhouse serving everyone from multimillion-dollar investors and A-list celebrities of stage and screen to local first-time buyers and sellers. Despite their growth, the team's devotion to responsive, knowledgeable service and utter integrity and transparency has remain unchanged. And, as part of Compass, the group has enhanced its ability to leverage best-in-class technology and digital marketing in service of their clients' goals.
The Maison International Team truly believes in the magic of finding the perfect real estate partners. Their long history of working with a diverse range of clients from all over the world has knit a rich tapestry of prized friendships and business relationships. They consider each day to be another opportunity to weave new threads and continue their legacy of client-focused real estate success. With its agents fluent in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Japanese, the team is well equipped to helping global clients find their place in New York City.
The Maison International Team looks forward to supporting the journey to your next remarkable destination — home.
"I have been working with Maison International for 10 years. Fernando is top notch all the way. He worked with me, at my pace, to find a great co-op in my price range. He is also the rental agent for a condo I own. That's how much I TRUST him. I used to have a real estate license, and I couldn't stand pushy agents who would tell you that a hole in the roof was really a skylight. Fernando is the antithesis of that. He is professional, thorough, kind and calm (and has a great sense of humor). He's your guy!"
"I have worked with Marie-Claire and the Maison team for almost ten years and they have always delivered. I work in the entertainment industry and often have high-profile clients who are very demanding. I love that they have connections to a wide variety of properties throughout the city. The Maison team delivers!"
"I worked with Marie-Claire at Maison International to sell my apartment and had an excellent experience. She was professional, extremely knowledgeable and responsive to our needs and/or questions. I expected it to take months to sell our apartment and it only took a few weeks."

Boutique Hotel in Tulum
With design centered around privacy and elegance, the hotel attracts a clientele in search of luxury and a serene getaway. A helipad on the roof is an additional draw for guests.
The villa is designed to provide an intimate indoor and outdoor experience that is in harmony with the natural beauty of the region. The use of stone materials in construction, warm tones in the decor, clean design lines, and well-maintained landscaping appeals to visitors; they feel they have found the right place to enjoy their vacation.
The ability to gather in common areas with others is also part of the hotel’s appeal. Guests can swim in the spectacular 18 meter swimming pool, gather around the lovely garden fireplace, and relax from sunrise to sunset in the lounge that overlooks the natural landscape. The grounds are well kept and inviting and create an experience that visitors share readily with their family, friends, and colleagues.
Referrals are an important part of business. The hotel is consistently ranked with 5 star reviews on booking.com, airbnb and Instagram, so you will be able to have a built in source of referral business. In addition, the hotel’s website generates 25% of direct sales.
The property has 8 spacious bedrooms that can accommodate up to 18 guests. 4 suites have direct access to the private pool and garden; 2 suites have a beautiful bay window and spacious private terrace.
The location is ideally located in the luxurious Aldea Zama district, on the avenue that is expected to become the new main access road to the Tulum Beach Hotel Zone. The potential for consistent revenues and growth is strong.
Opportunity for development is significant. Up to 4 plots of land are adjacent to the existing building, offering an excellent opportunity to enlarge the villa and to add a restaurant that brings an additional source of income.
