Denis Andrian, luxury real estate advisor

Profile

Denis Andrian  Real Estate Advisory

Since 1999, twenty-seven years of international experience in real estate.

Career path

I am Denis Andrian, born in 1970. I live between Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Costa Smeralda. I have been a partner in the family business since 1989 and a real estate agent since 1999. Over twenty-seven years I have worked as a professional agent, agency director and development director across the residential brokerage, luxury, commercial and hospitality segments.

For the first fifteen years of the 2000s, I focused on expanding my activities and contacts from Austria, Germany, Croatia and Estonia all the way to Russia. In 2016 I obtained the licence to operate in France, and in 2017 I was commercial director of a real estate agency in Monte Carlo.

Leadership roles

From 2018 to 2021 I served as CEO of Barnes International Porto Cervo, one of the international references for prime residential real estate in Sardinia. From 2021 to 2025 I led eXp Realty Italy as CEO, helping to build a national network of independent professionals.

Areas of expertise

Today I operate as a Luxury Family Realtor within the global eXp Realty network. I personally look after the real estate interests of HNWI and UHNWI families, with direct contacts in twenty-nine countries. My work focuses on a limited number of high-value transactions, often off-market, in prime residential - Costa Smeralda and a national selection - and in hospitality, with buy-side and sell-side mandates for institutional investors and family offices.

I am also the founder of AI4Realtors, a training initiative on artificial intelligence applied to real estate, and the official mandatary of Hotel101 for real estate transactions in Italy and worldwide. In 2024 and 2025 I spoke at the Italian Chamber of Deputies, in Rome, at REFUTURE, on how foreign investors perceive the Italian real estate market.

Partnerships

Since 2026, I am also an official partner - the only real estate agency - of Uplift Monaco, a leading company for corporate and private events on the French Riviera.
