LHM Client Testimonial “In a world full of Realtors plying for the same business, we are judged harshly if we do not deliver and do not sell the listings we take on. The biggest expense by far in my agency is advertising and if we are to get these homes sold, the exposure we generate is the fuel that powers the showings and subsequent offers. In the twelve months we have subscribed to the premium back pages of “Luxury Home Magazine” results for my clients have been exceptional. Having this quality publication mailed to every luxury address in the greater Charlotte area, ensures we deliver the payload directly to the target audience every time. The last edition resulted in 11 phone calls, enquiring about our feature listing. One of these people purchased the property and my sellers are extremely pleased. Luxury Home Magazine is the best publication in both quality and distribution and I intend to stay with this magazine, to keep my luxury listings selling and not sitting!” ~ Lawrie Lawrence
