List of luxury, high-end realtors?

**karens** · 11-18-2008, 09:51 AM

I am a mature woman looking for a house sitter position in Orange County CA. I want to contact realtors that handle estates or high end properties. Any idea where I can get a list of these agents? I'm on a very limited budget and the paid listings are very expensive. Many thanks!

I would look on Craigslist for property that is for sale by owner in the area you are interested in house sitting. Look for homes that look appealing to you and contact the owners directly. Most real estate agents won't want be willing to assist you in this matter.

Thanks so much for your note. Generally speaking, you can go online to find realtors in your area that do in fact list a number of higher end homes.

Our real estate team is here in Minnesota, but we work with a nationwide company that does have contacts in your area as well. Please let us know if you would like our helping recommending someone in your area.

With so many homes for sale on the MLS, it is great that you are looking for a top real estate agent in your area to work with.

Again, don't hesitate to let us know if we can help out at all with your selection of an agent.

Have a great day!

Make sure you get an individual instead of a "team"...
My 2 cents though....

I would look for Luxury Magazines at your local grocery store. The agents that have the best listing and pages have the most contact generally. I'm and agent. If you called me up asking for my clients contact information I would not give it to you. Try staffing agencies or networking in the area.

You can also search the WSJ.com for luxury agents.

...and no time to take care of you. At least call them and see if they answer you themselves, or if it's the assistant who have no idea where (s)he is...Ask to see a listing within 1 or 2 hours...see what (s)he'll say...

You can email him directly with any questions you may have. I never had a problem getting answers from him and if he doesn't know the answer he won't bs you. He will tell you he does not know and get you the answer. That was one of the qualities I really admired about him. He does a lot of business from what I hear but he is not an agent that is too busy for his clients, that is a pet peeve of mine. Hope that helps you in your search.
