The Atelier

Two partners. Forty residences. One coastline.

Marchetti & Vale was founded in 2008 above a wine cellar in Malibu Village. We have stayed deliberately small ever since.

Story

Built on the coast we love.

Marchetti & Vale was founded by two long-time residents — one a contractor’s daughter from Point Dume, the other a former private banker who had spent a decade buying homes in Malibu for international clients. The friendship preceded the firm by twenty years.

We have stayed deliberately small: two partners, two associate advisors, one in-house concierge. We accept approximately forty new listings a year and we have never run an MLS-driven open house.

The Pacific Coast is not a market to us. It is the place we live, raise our children, and quietly represent.

Concierge

Beyond the deed.

I.

Acquisition Counsel

A single advisor matched to your search. Public, pre-market, and off-market inventory presented privately, with a thirty-six-month horizon.

II.

Discreet Divestiture

A private-audience marketing program before any public release. Most of our sales are concluded before a sign is ever placed.

III.

Concierge Services

School counsel, household staffing, security, architectural review boards. The introductions that turn a residence into a home in a new city.

IV.

Estate Stewardship

After-closing concierge for principals living abroad or part-time. Property management, vendor coordination, and an annual stewardship report.

Principles

Three convictions, written above the door.

I.

Discretion

Quiet by design. We will not photograph the inside of your home for our website.

II.

Patience

Most of our sellers wait the better part of a year to be matched with the right buyer. We wait with them.

III.

Singular Counsel

The advisor who answers your first call is the advisor who attends your closing.
