What Columbus International does

Columbus International is a boutique luxury real estate brokerage and property management firm founded by Richard Tayar, operating under the legal entity Coreg LLC. The firm functions as an exclusive buyer's agent representing international high-net-worth individuals and corporate clients acquiring luxury residential and commercial properties across four geographic markets: New York, Miami, Milan, and Tuscany. In the United States, the firm operates under the aegis of Keller Williams NYC, while Italian operations are conducted through Living RE srl, enabling local licensing and on-the-ground presence in both jurisdictions.

The company's core offering consists of three integrated service lines: (1) buyer's representation across the four markets, including property search, negotiation, market analysis, and transaction coordination; (2) Elite Property Management, providing white-glove maintenance, financial supervision, tenant relations, condo board liaison, and renovation concierge services for international owners; and (3) marketing and promotional services including professional photography, cinematic videography, drone footage, exclusive private viewings, strategic broker previews, and global digital syndication for sellers. Supporting products include a bilingual property search platform and an investment guides content hub covering US and Italian purchase procedures, relocation logistics, and market glossaries.

The business model is transaction-based for brokerage (commission per closed deal), recurring managed services for property management, and project-based professional services for marketing. The firm has cumulatively completed $110M in transactions, holds $82.9M across 53 active listings, and manages 125+ properties. Distribution relies on direct field sales to international HNW buyers, a curated network of bilingual lawyers, accountants, and specialized professionals, and content marketing aimed at top-of-funnel international traffic. No proprietary technology platform, API, or AI capability is disclosed.
