ATLANTA, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As expectations for luxury residential living evolve, exceptional service has become as important as world-class design. Today’s buyers and residents increasingly expect the personalized, intuitive experiences long associated with the world’s finest hotels.

To help residential developers, operators and management companies meet that demand, Forbes Travel Guide today announced the launch of VERIFIED™ Luxury Residences, a comprehensive service excellence and quality assurance program created exclusively for luxury residential communities. Properties that successfully complete the program earn the VERIFIED Luxury Residences designation, recognizing their commitment to hospitality-inspired service.

Coinciding with today’s launch, forbestravelguide.com/residences showcases the inaugural collection of VERIFIED Luxury Residences. The site provides buyers, residents and real estate professionals with a trusted resource for discovering communities recognized for exceptional service.
