The Leader of Luxury Real Estate

Jennifer Hyland, one half of Peters & Hyland–the top team at Illustrated Properties–tracks her triumph to the trenches of New York City. Her first job at Vogue magazine provided a fast-paced, high-profile training ground. After that, she worked at Time Inc. on two startup publications. “It was all about presentation, a technique that is ingrained in me today,” she says. “I learned from the best how to launch a brand or a home in its optimal light.” She later landed a position at the Madison Avenue office of internationally acclaimed architect Helmut Jahn. As manager, she worked with elite clients such as Cohen Brothers Realty (iconic “rocket ship” building), IBM (corporate headquarters) and Donald Trump (Penn Yards project). “It provided an entry into the glamorous, demanding and lightning-paced world of ultra-high-end real estate,” she says. “I gained treasured knowledge by working with people from all over the world.” Many of these relationships hold strong today. Jennifer transitioned into Palm Beach real estate 20 years ago and, due to her record of closed sales, was just inducted into Christie’s International Real Estate’s elite Masters Circle (its top 180 agents). Clients and peers alike praise Jennifer for her expertise, candor and natural ability to bring even the most difficult deals to a successful outcome.
