A luxury home transaction requires a greater level of expertise and service than that of one eligible for a government backed loan, for instance. The clients expect a high level of sophistication, experience, and service from those assisting in the transaction. It may require an agent to be familiar with exotic materials, design elements, have financial and tax advisory connections as well as a deep knowledge of the surrounding area to adequately represent their client. Special designations such as the “Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist” may provide the edge needed to provide for a successful sale of a luxury home. Realty Executives has more Certified luxury home marketing specialists than any other company and transacted over $1.2 billion in luxury sales in 2021. What tips can some of the best in the industry provide when servicing clientele within the luxury market?
