Origins
Founded in 2024, on a problem that kept repeating.
Stephanie Gilezan spent twenty-seven years watching high-net-worth buyers struggle with the same thing. Cross-border real estate is opaque and fragmented, and it runs on local relationships that do not transfer across borders. A buyer either leans on word-of-mouth from a single market or spends years assembling advisors piecemeal - and finds out which pieces were missing only at closing.
In 2024 she co-founded Airdomo with Charles Bornheimer to close that gap: concierge-grade due diligence, vetted local partners, and integrated legal, tax, and relocation advisory in one channel rather than twelve.
What we hold to
Four commitments, and the reason for each.
These are the rules we are willing to lose a transaction over - which is the only test that means anything.
Clarity over access
A private list of off-market names is not an advantage if you cannot price what is on it. We lead with verified inventory, real comparables, and the total cost of ownership in the buyer's own currency.
One channel, not twelve
Legal, tax, financing, and relocation advice usually arrive from a dozen unconnected people in a dozen time zones. We hold the whole file, so a decision in one market does not quietly break something in another.
Fees that follow outcomes
We are paid when a transaction closes, not for the introduction. It is the only fee structure that keeps our advice on the buyer's side of the table when the honest answer is to walk away.
Local depth, held to one standard
Every market has its own registry, its own escrow habits, its own way of handling foreign buyers. We vet partners locally and hold all of them to one due-diligence standard.
Founders
Who is accountable for the advice.
Stephanie Gilezan
Co-Founder and CEO
Twenty-seven years in real estate, with more than 10,000 transactions totaling over $3 billion across 22 countries. She has been named to REALTOR Magazine's 30 Under 30, GlobeSt's Women of Influence, and CoStar's PowerBroker list, and speaks regularly on cross-border acquisition and branded residences.
Charles Bornheimer
Co-Founder and COO
Runs operations, partnerships, and the vetting standard every local partner is held to. He owns the firm's press and partnership relationships and is the direct contact for interviews, panels, and developer introductions.
Concierge services
What we actually do, end to end.
Every one of these is in scope on a single engagement. You are not handed off between six firms with six versions of your file.
Sourcing and shortlisting
We start from what you actually want the property to do - a place to live, a return, a residency pathway - and work backward to markets and specific homes, instead of showing you whatever is currently listed.
Due diligence
Title and registry checks, developer track record, HOA and rental restrictions, real carrying costs. This is where cross-border purchases usually go wrong, and it happens before you commit, not after.
Legal, tax, and structuring
Vetted local counsel and cross-border tax advice, coordinated so the ownership structure works in both your home jurisdiction and the one you are buying into.
Relocation and residency
Where a purchase carries a residency or citizenship pathway, we map the requirements and timelines honestly - including the cases where the property qualifies but the programme is not worth it.
Closing and handover
Escrow, currency transfer, notarization, and the handover itself, run to a checklist rather than to whichever local custom happens to prevail.
After the sale
Property management, rental placement, and resale when the time comes. The relationship does not end at the keys.
Start with a conversation, not a listing.
Thirty minutes on where you are looking, what you want the property to be for you, and whether the market you have in mind actually supports it.
