Luxury real estate:Differences from ordinary real estate

**Condos Florida** · 08-13-2009, 01:53 AM

Luxury real estate entails greater responsibility for agents who handle transactions than ordinary real estate. They must advertise to a national audience to attract non-local buyers, whereas ordinary real estate only generally requires exposure in local media. There are also greater legal responsibilities for the luxury estate agent, which often involve attorneys, trusts, and anonymity issues. Buyers often require more inspections than with ordinary real estate.

This is a great time to be in luxury real estate. I personally think its easier to sell one of these properties then a normal house right now. People tend to still have money and credit to close deals in the upper price ranges. You may have to jump through a couple of hoops as far as inspections and so forth but when it comes time to close the deal the money is usually there. Plus the commissions are great.

But with more risk comes a greater reward. And besides it's hard work.

Luxury sellers tend to require a little more service but the basics of selling the home are about the same.

MLS
Websites - National and Local
Just Listed Cards - Depends on client
Yard Sign
Blogs
Print Advertising
Etc.

My URL is luxurysarasotarealestate.com so I obviously trying to cater to the luxury buyers however I get prospects from all price ranges. Luxury is defined differently for each person. A buyer from Manhattan might think that luxury starts at $2 million whereas a buyer from Tennessee might think luxury starts at $500,000. It is all relative.

It has been my experience that representing a luxury buyer is usually easier and pays more. Financing, repairs, home alterations are usually not an issue. Whereas, those things can become problems for everyone else. In most instances, you probably will spend less time on a $2 million transaction than a $200,000 transaction and you get paid 10 times as much. There are just fewer people out there buying $2 million homes.

It's tough to sell a normal house in this downturn. Talking about luxury homes- o boy; it is tough! But with proper marketing skills, any experienced real estate agent can do it.
