Luxury Presence Raises $22M for Real Estate Growth Platform

Luxury Presence started with a quiet contradiction the real estate world has learned to live with. The agents moving the most volume were often buried under the weakest tools. Too many tabs, too much manual work, not enough signal. Back in 2016, a conversation between Jade Mills and Malte Kramer put that tension into focus. Luxury branding on the outside, outdated systems underneath. That friction became the origin story, and now the company just announced a $22M Series C led by Bessemer Venture Partners, paired with a $15M debt facility from J.P. Morgan, bringing total equity funding to $89M and momentum pointed straight at 2026.

There is a reason the name Luxury Presence keeps landing with people who understand brand gravity. Presence is what shows up before the first call, before the email, before the intent is obvious. It is why more than 17,000 real estate businesses and 87,000 agents already run on the platform, and why 30% of Wall Street Journal RealTrends top agents and teams are there quietly stacking advantage. Over $450B in annual transaction volume and more than 400,000 listings move through the system because performance respects infrastructure, not noise.

The growth metrics do not shout, they just sit there confidently. Over 110% ARR growth since August 2023. More than 40% projected ARR growth in 2025. Agents on the platform growing 6x faster than peers and closing nearly 3x the transaction volume in the same markets. Behind that is an engine analyzing nearly 700M annual interactions and 15B+ data points, hunting for patterns most platforms never see because they are too busy stitching together disconnected tools.

The next chapter arrives in February 2026 with the launch of Presence CRM. Not a glorified contact list, not another system begging for manual input, but an AI relationship engine built to surface opportunity before clients raise their hands. Presence CoPilot, AI Marketing Specialists, predictive analytics, and hands-free voice capture all live inside a unified agent branded platform that actually talks to itself. Jesse Pedersen architecting the intelligence, Joana Koiller shaping the design language, Kyle Scott extending the brand and partnerships with intention instead of volume.

Bessemer Venture Partners does not keep leading rounds by accident. Byron Deeter understands vertical SaaS gravity, and this is gravity tuned for high-performing agents whose businesses run on trust, timing, and personal brand. Luxury Presence is not chasing the $1.5T real estate market by yelling louder. It is listening earlier, seeing sooner, and letting presence do what it has always done when it is real.
