“Luxury Home Magazine has proven to be a quality advertising addition for publicizing
my million dollar plus listings. Since the publication has entered our Austin market, I have been pleasantly surprised with the number of quality inquires that have come to me regarding the homes that I have featured in a full page ad. I believe that my ad in Luxury Home Magazine was responsible
for the first inquiry which resulted in the ultimate sale of the home within a short period of time. My
advertising investment for my clients has been well spent and I am looking forward to continuing my advertising experience with this effective publication.”
