Miami’s no-state-income-tax structure, global connectivity, and deepening luxury inventory are positioning it as a compelling onshore alternative to Monaco’s rarefied, land-scarce market. For globally mobile buyers, the decision increasingly turns on residency mechanics, transparency expectations, asset-protection planning, and lifestyle priorities, not just price.

Discreet by Design: NDAs, LLCs, and What’s Changing for Private Luxury Home Buys in South Florida

For ultra-prime buyers in South Florida, privacy is less a single tactic than a coordinated strategy: quiet exposure, contractual confidentiality, and thoughtful ownership structuring. Yet “anonymous” has never meant invisible, and it is becoming meaningfully harder to keep beneficial ownership completely off the regulatory radar. With FinCEN’s finalized Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule set to take effect March 1, 2026, non-financed transfers to entities and trusts will be reported through the closing ecosystem. Here is how discretion works today, where it breaks down, and what a modern privacy-minded buyer should align with their counsel, broker, and settlement team before committing capital.
