SEATTLE – Dec. 6, 2023 – PRLog — Corcoran Lifestyle Properties, a franchisee of Corcoran Group, LLC, and a leading brokerage in the greater Puget Sound region, today announced the acquisition of Executive Real Estate. Most recently led by industry luminary Keith Nelson, Executive Real Estate has established itself as a prominent brokerage serving consumers in the western counties of Washington State. The acquisition of Executive Real Estate by Corcoran Lifestyle Properties signifies a harmonious union of two exceptional forces in the real estate industry, ultimately setting the stage for elevated success and growth.
“Having Keith join our company is a wonderful honor for us,” said Keoki McCarthy, Co-Founder and Broker/Owner of Corcoran Lifestyle Properties. “Keith and his team’s expertise, accomplishments, and dedication to client service perfectly aligns with our company’s core values. This acquisition propels both of our businesses to new heights and reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional real estate experiences to our clients.”
Nelson’s successful career in the real estate industry has spanned numerous decades and is characterized by his unwavering commitment to his clients and his dedication to moving the greater Seattle area’s marketplace forward, locally, nationally, and internationally. Keith’s skillset and dedication has not gone unnoticed, having served as President for the Seattle King County REALTORS® Association in 2009, and has most recently been inducted into the National Association of REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) “Hall of Fame.” In total, 13 agents from the acclaimed Executive Real Estate team will become part of the Corcoran Lifestyle Properties brokerage, and Keith will hold the title of Senior Managing Broker for the company.
“In the ever-evolving landscape of our industry, embracing the dedication of Keoki & Stephanie McCarthy and Corcoran means not only showcasing properties at an elevated level, but also illuminating the essence of home and the communities that we serve,” said Nelson. “It is about capturing not just the structure, but the soul of a property – painting a vivid picture that goes beyond walls and windows, revealing the lifestyle that truly makes a house a home.”
Executive Real Estate was taken over by Keith in 1994, and has been a family endeavor ever since, with Keith’s son, Garrett Nelson, following in his father’s footsteps, is slated to become President for the Seattle King County REALTORS® Association in 2025.
The acquisition of Executive Real Estate by Corcoran Lifestyle Properties marks an exciting new chapter for both companies. Through sharing leadership strengths, industry knowledge, professional resources, and an expansive network of both agents and clients, Corcoran Lifestyle Properties is eager to continue their successful growth and recognition within the greater Puget Sound region.

The HKTDC Lifestyle ShoppingFest, a brand-new public fair organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), came to a successful close yesterday (2 May). The fair kicked off on 28 April (Wednesday) and ran over five days at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), featuring 430 exhibitors and attracting more than 55,000 public visitors.
The Lifestyle ShoppingFest concluded successfully yesterday (2 May). Happy shoppers are pictured visiting the last day of the fair to buy their favourite products.
“Food Street” introduced local and global delicacies.
Fun-filled events were held during the fair including cooking demonstrations by master chefs, rope-skipping and smart bidding auctions.
HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Benjamin Chau said: “The Lifestyle ShoppingFest is the first physical show organised by the HKTDC since the pandemic began early last year. We implemented a series of anti-pandemic measures to safeguard the health and safety of participants. We were pleased to see a positive response from exhibitors and the public, reflecting the fact that physical shows are irreplaceable. The HKTDC responded to the needs of Hong Kong enterprises, bringing them additional selling opportunities during a challenging period, while the public were provided with an enjoyable shopping experience.”
Apart from the Hong Kong Book Fair and concurrent fairs running in mid-July, the HKTDC will also host several trade fairs including the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show from 25 to 29 July, and the International Sourcing Show from 26 to 29 July. The three fairs will be the first concurrent physical trade fairs to be staged by the HKTDC since the pandemic. It is expected that the three fairs can create synergies across industries, enhancing sourcing efficiency and creating more opportunities for cross-industry exhibitors.
Physical fair provides boost for business
This five-day Lifestyle ShoppingFest provided a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to understand more about consumers’ preferences. The HKTDC conducted a survey to gauge the views of exhibitors, finding that 75% of exhibitors agreed that physical shows can help to boost their businesses.
Richard Leung, Director of the Ballerina Watch Company Limited, said: “The pandemic has inevitably decelerated the economy and had an impact on exports and local retail. The Lifestyle ShoppingFest is a timely opportunity to provide a solid selling platform for various industries as the pandemic subsides. Consumers of high-end products such as jewellery and watches prefer examining tangible products, which explains the importance of physical fairs.” He added that as the pandemic comes under control, sales of food and hygiene products will see a brisk recovery, followed by a progressive resumption of sales for high-end consumer products.
It was the first time for optical agent Opticon Ltd to join a local public fair. Christopher Chan, Director of the company, said, “We focused on commercial clients in the past, but we are now looking to explore the retail market. The people flow and atmosphere at the Lifestyle ShoppingFest was good, helping us to get to know more about consumers’ preferences which in turn will give us more confidence to build up our retail business.”
OMG Design, the sole agent of Israel suitcase brand Rollink in Asia, promoted its feature products at the fair having seen strong growth in consumer demand for household products amid the pandemic. Andy Cheung, the company’s Business Development Manager, said: “The Lifestyle ShoppingFest showcased a wide range of products that attracted local consumers from different age groups. We adjusted our marketing strategy, offering special prices to attract visitors at the fair. We successfully sold more than 100 Rollink suitcase at a discount of 45%, earning revenue of approximately HK$80,000.” Mr Cheung also met a jewellery industry buyer and wine supplier interested in using the company’s suitcases for product packaging and corporate gifts. He hopes to close more business deals after the fair.
To help exhibitors grasp online business opportunities, the KOL Live Station was set up at the fair. The HKTDC partnered with the team from Bonjour Hong Kong to introduce a range of highlighted products, and individual exhibitors also got the chance to present their own products at the Live Station. A series of live-broadcast sessions featured products from nearly 60 exhibitors, with some of the products made available for online sale at the Bonjour HK Mall. The HKTDC is also collaborating with e-commerce platform Boutir to offer exhibitors the chance to open an online shop with a three-month free service to help them get established as an online retailer.
Gourmet products remain popular with public
A survey of visitors to the fair showed the four most popular product categories to be food and drink (75%), healthcare and sanitary products (20%), houseware (20%), as well as luxury products such as jewellery and watches (18%). The reasons visitors found the show attractive included special prices and discount offers (65%), product quality (61%), and the variety of products offered (57%).
Of those surveyed, 82% of visitors expressed satisfaction with the health and safety measures put in place at the show, including reminders on social distancing, the cleanliness of public areas, and minimising the exchange of cash at the event.
