I am a lucky guy. Over the years, I had the privilege of working, whether directly or indirectly, with many of the most successful Realtors in the country specializing in the luxury market. All of them are still around today, and so am I. It’s a good sign.

I hope I helped them become who they now are. Conversely, there is no question they helped me be the leader I became. Together, we worked and re-worked on everything that spells success at the high-end, from vision to strategy, from activities to tactics, from planning to coaching, from image to branding.

From my point of observation, I can say without a doubt that all the top guns in the multi-million dollar market have 5 things in common, 5 traits which are all required to get to the top, and to stay there. Here they are:

• They are all LISTING AGENTS: It does not mean that they do • They are all associated with TOP REAL ESTATE FIRMS: You cannot gravitate your way to the top if your company not represent buyers, they do, but their power comes from keeps you small. The vast majority of real estate firms being the purveyors of the most exclusive properties and cannot compete at that level, even though they try estates in their marketplace. Their reputation, old or newly and may suggest they do. It takes power, manpower, established, earns them the trust of the wealthiest and a specialized estates division and high-end marketing knowledgeable home sellers. Believe it or not, most anyone program, a network of offices, a regional scope of (given the good fortune of being at the right place & at the coverage and partnerships with the best international right time), can sell a multi-million dollar property, but in my high-end marketing networks to reach out to wealthy book, that does not qualify the jackpot winners as high-end buyers from all over the globe, who are both interested specialists. Only at the listing end can you rightfully claim in and qualified to purchase the local trophy properties. the title.

• They are all specializing in their LOCAL MARKET: Only in • They are all excellent BUSINESS PEOPLE: They know and feel comfortable with facts, statistics, P&L and their primary market (their town + those towns immediately trends. They also master marketing. Many of them adjacent) can they make roots, grow, achieve notoriety and play solo, wearing different hats with amazing ease. harvest recurring business. What they could do elsewhere They are contracting specialized services through would only distract them from better exploiting their preferred their personal affinity group. Many others choose to turf. Most of these agents, even when given the opportunity hire team members to handle the logistics, the day-toto list a luxury property 10 miles from “home” would turn day marketing, the admin work and the follow-up with down the offer and refer the business to agents with whom clients, title, lenders and vendors. Each his/her own they work in the market where the property is located. It way to get results and deliver the best service to the is worth mentioning that, at that level, knowing your local client. market goes well beyond knowing neighborhoods, streets and values, it means • They are all AMBITIOUS: This one is a no-brainer. knowing by name the Ambition is the fuel that keeps them driving uphill. people who live in these It could be money but, more often than not, it is magnificent homes. success, recognition and the fulfillment of reaching the end result: selling extraordinary homes for the benefit of the owners (road companions during the listing period). Without ambition, there is no passion; without passion, you lose what makes you the best.

It takes power, manpower, a specialized estates division and high-end marketing program...

So remember when looking to hire an agent for the purchase or sale of your high end home, confirm they encompass these five qualities. If they do, there’s no doubt you’ll have a successful transaction.
