Our Founder
Kristi Caudell built her reputation inside the most private and complex corners of luxury real estate, where discretion and precision are essential. As she facilitated high value transactions for ultra high net worth clients, her work naturally expanded beyond property into aviation, yachts, and other significant acquisitions that required absolute confidentiality and trusted expertise. She became the person clients relied on when the opportunity was rare, the stakes were high, or the asset needed to remain outside public view. Through these transactions, Kristi began to see a larger issue spanning every area of tangible wealth. Real estate, aviation, yachts, autos, jewelry, art, and private collections were all being managed in disconnected ways. Information lived in separate places. Opportunities surfaced randomly. Privacy was constantly tested. The world’s most discerning clients were making major decisions across their tangible assets without a unified, intelligent, or secure environment built to support the full scope of what they owned. Kristi recognized the need for a new kind of solution, one that brought strategy, clarity, and privacy to the entire landscape of high value assets. From that vision, she created Lux Exclusives. What began as a response to the gaps she witnessed in real time has evolved into a secure platform that unites private real estate with the broader world of tangible assets, giving members an intelligent, all in one environment to understand, manage, and elevate everything they own.
