Irene Luke

Spear’s Review

Irene Luke is the property savant raising Savills’ profile in the ‘crowded’ Monaco marketplace. ‘Whether clients are buying or selling, you’ve got to really know the market to make sure they are getting a fair deal,’ she said. 

A commercial property lawyer who was originally operating in London, Luke moved to Monaco and then joined Savills in 2011, becoming a co-managing partner a year on. 

Luke says she is an ‘extremely cautious’ adviser to HNWs looking to buy. ‘I just don’t think you can really give concrete advice that someone can rely on forever – things change very quickly here.’

Adviser Profile

Irene Luke has been with Savills’ since 2011 and became a co-managing partner in 2012. She is a lawyer by training, having read law at Oxford University, and has practiced in both London and Monaco, working first as a commercial property lawyer, then in the private client field.

She decided to leave law and join Savills, tempted by the challenge of a career change and raising the Savills profile in Monaco. The adviser brings her legal skills to the real estate world, playing an advisory role alongside a commercial one when negotiating sales, purchases and rentals for her clients. 

Familiar in dealing with UHNWIs, Luke is seen as a safe pair of hands when high-value deals are on the table.
