LUXURY DECODED 

The Psychology of High-End Buyers

Luxury isn’t a one size fits all, it never has been, it’s emotional safety, identity affirmation, and narrative control. In this high-energy session, Justin fuses his design background, marketing savvy, and relationship expertise to unpack how wealthy clients actually buy. You’ll explore the hierarchy needs of housing, decode generational wealth psychology, and discover the amenities luxury buyers crave most, and no one’s talking about. Whether you're selling homes, selling dreams, or somewhere in between this talk will change how you see your clients and yourself.
