A Collection of Hidden Gems
About Harlowe Group
Representing independently owned boutique properties and villas
The Harlowe Group offers representation for independently owned boutique properties and villas. Our collection is small by design, offering our clients the personal attention they deserve. We know each property we represent intimately, and have fostered such close relationships that each one feels like family. We’re inspired by the passion each of these family owned gems has for their “home” and have become an extension of their team.

Meet Tracey Harlowe
Owner and Founder
Tracey, born and raised in NY, headed west to Los Angeles right after college. She started her career in women's health care during the 1970s, spending more than a decade advocating for reproductive rights. During that time, she established a community outreach program for a women's hospital in a low income neighborhood, while volunteering at a free clinic in Los Angeles.
In the late 1980s, ready for change, Tracey transitioned into the travel industry. A sales manager position with a South Pacific tour operator opened the door to what would become her lifelong calling. After more than 25 years in Southern California, she found herself drawn back to the East Coast. Not ready to face snowy winters after so long in LA, she and her family chose South Florida as their new home. This move marked the beginning of her representation company.
Tracey has always been driven by a passion for discovering what she calls "hidden gems"—those under-the-radar properties that offer authentic, meaningful experiences. From the start, she's focused on representing family-owned hotels and a small, carefully curated collection. Her dedication to each property and her talent for connecting these special places with the right travel advisors define the essence of The Harlowe Group
