WHEN WILT CHAMBERLAIN’S BEL AIR HOME was placed on the market for $10.5 million in January, prospective buyers discovered that among its amenities were a gold-lined hot tub, a swimming pool that flowed into the living room and a bedroom with a retractable, mirrored ceiling. Jerry Seinfeld’s $32 million estate in East Hampton, N.Y., comes with its own bowling alley. Donald Trump’s recently sold $95 million estate in Palm Beach, Fla., has its own beauty salon, and Candy Spelling, widow of famed Hollywood producer Aaron Spelling, has a room in her California mansion that is devoted entirely to gift wrapping.
At left, a $65 million listing in the Mandeville Canyon section of Brentwood in Los Angeles comes with its own casino room. Above, not only does this $57 million home in Florida’s exclusive Indian Creek Village feature soothing views of Biscayne Bay, it also comes with a massage room and a color- and light-infused chromatherapy spa.
The perks found in fine homes worldwide are endlessly creative as successful homebuyers discover the joys of amenities uniquely suited to their tastes. From chandelier collections to diamond-studded billiard tables, buyers find much to adorn their abodes and delight their friends. In spite of the economy, the trend doesn’t seem to be cooling, which is good news for creative and hard-working entrepreneurs who can deliver the bling with style. Homes recently listed on the MLS database carried features such as a casino, a computerized golf room and an

A home in Hawaii has a guesthouse with its own address; another in Florida contains a massage salon and chromatherapy spa—a whirlpool designed to relax the occupant with soothing, colorful light shows.

The company sells personal submersibles that hold two to three people and descend to depths of up to 3,000 feet. All are designed to accept sophisticated undersea equipment, such as robotic manipulators and high-definition cameras for those who want to snap pictures of colorful fish and flora. Back on land, Audio Advisors, a company based in West Palm Beach, Fla., builds personalized media rooms. The company once constructed a home theater for a client that resembled the spaceship from “Star Trek” with touch-screen displays a la the starship “Enterprise,” motion-activated airlock doors, a bar with futuristic furniture and “windows” with faux outer-space scenes. The theater itself contained eight computer servers with 3,816 DVDs. In an interview with Techpin.com, Audio Advisors president Jeff Hoover described it as “the largest hard-drive-based storage system that I’ve ever heard of in a residential installation.” The theater’s “red-alert” lights and blaring klaxon “scares the pants off guests,” Hoover added with a laugh.

For those who enjoy gadgets in general, the choices for technoamenities in 2009 are vast. One music lover in Belgium requested a custom speaker system by the high-end audio firm Kharma International, based in the Netherlands. Kharma built it for him, for a price tag of a cool $1 million. The company has said little about the product’s technical specifications, but the sleek, wood-framed speakers are as much a style statement as a technological toy.

Guests can watch an undersea mural glide by as they ride the interior elevator. A compass is designed into the Brazilian wood floors of the foyer. The tastefully decorated home recently listed with Coldwell Banker for $1.4 million. “The owner just got married, and she and her husband are moving on to other interests,” said Realtor Arlene Fuino. “They may even be re-designing other homes in the area.”

Small Town, Big Trees. The little town of Ross in Marin County hosts a Spanish estate that has its own redwood grove. By Ken Weingartner
By Ken Weingartner The town of Ross celebrated its centennial last year and longtime residents of the Northern California hamlet are happy to say not much has changed over the past hundred years. The area traces its origin to the Gold Rush era of the mid-1800s, after which it became a favored summer retreat of San Francisco-area residents. There are fewer than 2,400 residents and 825 homes in the 1.6-square-mile town, where locals meet daily at the post office while picking up their mail.
Comfortably Large With 10,000 square feet of space and more than 2 acres of land, this Northern California estate offers plenty of room to entertain both indoors and out.

Here, amid the rolling hills of Marin County, some 15 miles north of San Francisco, is a property as unique as the town in which it is located—a 10,000-square-foot Spanish estate situated on more than two acres of level land. Constructed in 1933 as a 3,000-square-foot haciendastyle unit, the home was extensively rebuilt and expanded in 1997 while retaining numerous aspects of its original character. “The house is magnificent and the town is every bit as important,” says broker John McGeough of Coldwell Banker Previews International in Greenbrae, Calif., who has the listing for the 7 Laurel Grove property. “It’s a bucolic town with larger estate-type properties. It’s very well known for its good schools, safe environment and charm.” Ross is routinely one of the top 10 most expensive ZIP codes in the U.S., according to Forbes, and the most expensive in Northern California. The town is home to the Marin Art and Garden Center, a spectacular 11-acre property that features numerous gardens and hosts cultural and educational programs. Notable features of the home, which is listed for $15 million, include a large foyer with a sweeping passage into the main living areas, beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces and imported walnut floors. Multiple French doors from the family room lead to four distinctive outdoor areas. The kitchens and bathrooms feature hand-painted tiles. There also is a

It’s like having your own private Muir Woods.”

‘It’s Good To Be Alive’ A Utah builder’s Park City home embraces life.
By Mark Moffa
Tough Terrain Builder Jeff Jacobson faced a steep slope for his design of 3874 Solamere Drive. The site’s topography proved to be a challenge and a blessing.
Imagine. You wake in your Park City, Utah, home to two feet of fresh powder. You brew your morning cup of coffee, and saunter over to your hexagonal hearth room with its see-through fireplace, floor-to-ceiling glass and exposed beams. You try to watch the morning news, but you can’t focus. You are too distracted by the glimpse of the sun over the horizon. Your view includes all three of Park City’s ski resorts. The Canyons is straight ahead. Park City and the apex of Deer Valley are to the left. “It’s good to be alive. That’s the feel you have in this room,” says Jeff Jacobson of Jacobson Development. He should know. He designed and built this $3.995 million masterpiece. Jacobson’s journey to become a successful builder began as he was obtaining degrees in chemistry and German at the University of Mississippi. The construction jobs that occupied his summers, combined with his sharpening analytical skills turned out to be a perfect formula (an MBA in finance and management from Marymount University in Washington, D.C. came later). Building homes, he says, is a marriage between the objective and the subjective. “It’s the mathematics of finite spaces combined with the subjectivity and creativity of an art form.” A part-time job rehabbing fixer-uppers, led to a construction loan to start his own company. “Approximately 300 homes later, here I am.” Jacobson, 48, says he pays particular attention to the ergonomics in a house. He has devoted his life to fixing a flaw he notices in many homes. “A lot of times use of space doesn’t make sense. The home needs to make sense. I design every home from a 365/24 mindset to make sense.” He says 6 inches here or 1 foot there can make all the difference in the livability of a space.
14 H O M E S & E S TAT E S
Perfectly Framed Views Jacobson’s design took care to develop amazing sightliness to all three of Park City’s resorts. A plethora of large windows with wood trim make for picture-perfect framing of Mother’s Nature’s works of art.
“You kind of have a sixth sense, what works and what doesn’t work.” When he saw a 0.42-acre lot at an elevation of 7,300 feet on Solamere Drive, he knew what would work. And he knew it would work amazingly well. He tackled the downhill slope of the lot and took the height restrictions in stride, knowing he would have to stair-step the house and that this would mean added costs for excavation, moving dirt and establishing the foundation. The end result is a 7,585-square-foot heavenly body with ceiling heights of more than 11 feet (25 feet in the great room) and an open floor plan that allows for great flow. It works whether you are just living there day-to-day or hosting 125 people for Sundance. This home is typical of the modern genre of luxury homes in that it features a massive kitchen that flows to the dining room, which flows to the great room. “You’re able to communicate to all of these spaces almost simultaneously,” Jacobson says. Also typical for a new home in this area is the style—it is the contemporary mountain style. “Post-and-beam or timber-frame accents are in many cases structural elements integrated into the design, so that not only is it part of the structure, but it’s part of the aesthetic appeal.” But “typical” is not a fair word for this home.
“The kitchen is second to none,” Jacobson says. He’s referring to the high-end finishes, 3.5-inch granite, massive Sub-Zero fridge, eight-burner stove, two dishwashers, copper farmer and vegetable sinks, wine storage and 12-by-14-foot walk-in pantry. Another one of Jacobson’s prides is the master bath. The commercialgrade steam shower with 12 body sprays is a bragging point. “You could literally have a car wash in this room,” he says. Although that doesn’t mean the space is not romantic. As Jacobson keeps his eye on the goal of “livability,” here he achieves both practicality and intimacy. “The bathroom becomes inherently sexual,” he admits. Function and comfort continue to come together throughout the six-bedroom, seven-bath home. From the seven zero-clearance natural gas fireplaces to the home theater with its 123-inch screen, and from the soundproof exercise room to the poker, billiards and pub area, it’s impossible not be happy about life at 3874 Solamere Drive. Andrea Damiano, an interior designer and the owner of Sticks and Stones, staged this home. www.sticksandstonespc.com Contact Kristina Pluta, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage 801.467.9000, 801.950.3999, utahhomes.com

Extraordinary Space Located on a ridge, Millstream Manor offers 10,000 square feet of magnificent living space, ideal for grand-scale entertaining.
Setting the Stage for the Ages The crossroads of two serene rivers reveals a one-of-a-kind gem that exudes history and timeless elegance. By Robert Burke
Beautiful Grounds A wonderful variety of plantings, trees, outbuildings and quiet spaces perfect for rest and reflection are found throughout almost 5 acres.

As a boy in Connecticut in the late 1800s, Winchell Smith used to pitch his tent on the ridge overlooking the Farmington River. He would read of the Tunxis Indians who used to inhabit the Indian Neck area of Farmington, and dreamed of building his house there so he always could be beside the river’s majectic waters. Smith would go on to become an accomplished playwright and director—known for plays such as “The Fortune Hunter” and “Lightnin,’” among others. And from 1915 to 1917, Millstream Manor was constructed for him in almost the exact spot in which he pitched his tent. The manor is unmatched in charm and grandeur, a residential marvel first designed by Hartford-area architect Edward T. Hapgood on approximately 5 acres along the the Farmington and Pequabuck rivers. “The architecture of the house is not over-the-top,” says Nuala Griffin of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, who shares the listing with Chuck Cusson. Character is equally noted by the unique but simple iron gates, designed by Stanford

White of McKim, Mead and White, that front the estate. The same gates once stood at the entrance of the Lamb’s Club in New York City, the nation’s first professional theatrical club, frequented by some of the industry’s greats— Fred Astaire, Irving Berlin and W.C. Fields, to name a few. The gates were removed from the Lamb’s Club entrance to avoid congestion in the area. Smith, a member of the club, decided to purchase the gates, placing them at the end of the drive, creating an elegant lead-in to an estate that now continues its journey through history. For Rod and Christina Fazzone, it wasn’t necessarily the history or the cultural fame that surrounds the residence, but rather the allure of the estate’s riverfront setting that prompted their purchase in 1977. “It’s hard to find a property this size on the Farmington River,” shares Christina Fazzone. Millstream Manor rests less than 10 minutes from downtown Hartford, near museums and restaurants, offering comfort and convenience at arm’s length. “The charm, elegance and detail inside and out of this house attracted me,” she says. An original boathouse rests on the east bank of the river and is ideal for launching canoes or kayaks. At the grand entrance, visitors are greeted by a columned portico that leads to the foyer garnished with silk damask upholstered walls. With its 10,000 square feet, Millstream Manor carries a history of greatness and elegance. The library beckons the early days of the estate’s construction and features original hand-crafted wood, raised panel walls with concealed doors, an original stone fireplace and French doors. The kitchen was upgraded and remodeled to feature Viking appliances and granite countertops,
Winchell Smith was known as a generous man, and in several instances reportedly paid the entire college tuition and living expenses for young men of poor parents. but still retains the original charm through the warmth of the custom cherry cabinetry. “The intriguing molding, Wedgwood insets and grand proportions of the interior make this house a comfortable home,” says Griffin. Plaster molding in the living and dining rooms are enhanced by eloquent 24-karat gold and silver leafing. The addition of the pool house in 1990 brought 1,900 square feet of space with wireless computer access and satellite TV, but remains true to the appeal of the main house through its brick exterior, interior plaster walls and large wood-burning fireplace. Listed at $4,995,000, “It’s an absolute lifestyle property,” says Chuck Cusson. “You have everything at your fingertips. It’s really a resort unto itself.” Contact Nuala Griffin and Chuck Cusson, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage 860.559.7769, 860.803.7317, 188GardenStreet.com

A Stately Landmark Estate By Sarah Binder
Iceland’s U.S. ambassador is selling his historic Washington, D.C., home.
18 H O M E S & E S TAT E S
NEW YORK CITY HAS THE UPPER EAST SIDE; Boston has Beacon Hill. In Washington, D.C., Kalorama’s prestigious addresses have long served as home to notable historic figures such as Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and several of today’s most influential political players, including Senator Ted Kennedy. 2443 Kalorama Road is no exception. An ambassador to the United States from Iceland purchased the house in 1965 and Iceland has owned it ever since, says Chris Wisner, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Georgetown office who is co-listing the storied residence with Cindi Williams. Prior to relocating to the residence from New York City this winter, Mr. Hjálmar W. Hannesson, Iceland’s ambassador to the United States, and his wife, Mrs. Anna Birgis Hannesson, were guests of the residence numerous times, Mrs. Hannesson says. “Over the years, previous ambassadors have hosted numerous State and cultural events in the

the house, including lunches, dinners, receptions, concerts, et cetera. In addition, the Icelandic Society has hosted some events at the house,” Mrs. Hannesson says. Built in 1928, the Tudor-esque home easily can handle parties of 250 people, says Wisner, with a grand living room, his-and-her first-floor bathrooms, a four-car garage with additional private parking and a fireside dining room that can seat up to 35 people. And while the 11-bedroom home proudly displays its loyalty to Iceland—every piece of art in the house is by an Icelandic artist, according to Mrs. Hannesson—the residence’s historic legacy reaches across continents. According to Wisner, well-spoken and influential Madame Chiang Kai-shek, first lady of the Republic of China and close personal friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, once lived in the residence. For the prospective buyer searching for a family-friendly home, the approximately 9,500-square-foot house boasts many features beyond stately formal entertaining spaces. The private residence rooms are upstairs, providing a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle below. “My husband and I love the family library on the second floor; it has a wood-burning fireplace and wood paneling and is very cozy,” Mrs. Hannesson says. Extra room for staff—a couple live-in staff members currently assist the ambassador and his wife with the home’s upkeep—ensures additional comfort for the future owners. In order to update the historic property for modern everyday living, a renovation was completed in 1997, upgrading or replacing the home’s infrastructure, mechanical and electrical systems. “I believe at that time approximately $1 million was invested back into the property,” Mrs. Hannesson says. The landmark house is on the market today for $5.65 million.
“Over the years, previous ambassadors have hosted numerous State and cultural events in the house, including lunches, dinners, receptions, concerts, et cetera. In addition, the Icelandic Society has hosted some events at the house,” Mrs. Hannesson says.
Outdoors, the terraced backyard requires little to no maintenance and the heated in-ground pool, which overlooks Rock Creek Park, is one of the few in the neighborhood. In the past, says Wisner, the prestigious residence has opened its doors to the community through home shows and a walking tour organized by Kalorama Heights. This is “one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in the close-in Washington, D.C., area,” Wisner says. “We’re dealing with a house that has a long pedigree on a street that has an even longer pedigree.”

A penthouse-style condo for $1.2 million within a restored landmark building on the water’s edge may appeal to those who wish for a lower-maintenance property. On the other end of the spectrum is a $12 million waterfront manse with two boat slips, a children’s wing and a state-ofthe-art home theater located on exclusive Governor’s Island.

The Gamble Mansion will be home again. Constructed at 5 Commonwealth Avenue in 1861 and rebuilt in 1904, it was the site of the Boston Center for Adult Education for the past six decades, but sold recently in a record-breaking deal under which it will be restored to a single-family residence. The property includes a Louis XV ballroom. “It’s what we call the sunny side of the street because the fronts of the homes on that block face south and get the sun all day,” says agent David Mackie of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage on Commonwealth Avenue. “The first two blocks have some of the most valuable real estate in the city.” Mackie and his mother, Florence, represented the buyer of “5 Comm” and are listing an 11,000square-foot building on the next block for $13 million. “The neighborhood is one of the best, adjacent to the Public Garden and just steps from the Charles River,” says Mackie. “The buildings are beautiful and very wide, which makes them very livable.” — David Mackie and his mother, Florence, are partners at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Boston.

GREEN FLOORS It is customary to find extraordinary flooring in the world’s most luxurious homes, and hardwood floors are among the most popular. In our current “green” era, these beautiful floors also offer energy-efficient and cost-saving options. Choosing an eco-friendly wood veneer uses about 50 percent less newly forested wood than traditional hardwood, as it is attached to a recycled wood-fiber core. Should you move into a home with existing hardwood floors, consider refinishing the floors rather than replacing them to save both trees and money. Another environmentally friendly option would be Terrazzo flooring, which is made from recycled glass, tile and ceramic. For carpeted areas, wool rugs are created from natural fiber and fewer fossil fuels are used in creating them. Sisal rugs are also natural and known for their durability. Recycled carpet is another choice that’s kinder to the environment and the many styles available look anything but recycled. Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Baltimore and Greater Washington, D.C., offer monthly energy-smart tips for home buyers and sellers. Visit www.cbmove.com for more information.
Q: I do not have window treatments in my main rooms. Do I need to put something up? A: Yes, but do more than put something up. Window treatments are a reflection of the homeowner’s personality and they should make a statement. They can be highly stylized or sheer simplicity. In most cases, the natural light will work wonders so do not cover up the windows, just dress them and keep your windows clean. Let the light shine in! Q: My kitchen is in good shape but the backsplash is a bit dated. Should I pull out one of the colors in the backsplash tiles and paint the room so that it looks like it works? A: No. That only exasperates the problem. Replace the backsplash with something that is clean and nondescript. In fact, chances are, if your back splash is dated your countertops may need attention as well. For a small investment that will yield a great return, replace the counters and backsplash with the same element. Your kitchen will look clean and fresh, and will appear even larger. Q: My powder room is really outdated. Should I replace dated fixtures with all plain fixtures? A: Powder rooms are a statement of the home and a plain powder room is a mistake. Remove dated accessories, including wallpaper. Paint it a nice clean color. Hang a framed picture that will pull the space together through color. Add a small gathering of fresh flowers and a candle for fragrance and elegance. JDW Designs is located in Montclair, NJ. Visit www.jdwdesigns.com.

ADVICE FOR YOUR VACATION HOME Buying a second home is an investment with unique advantages. Unlike other financial ventures, it offers tangible benefits such as land and potential for rental income. It also provides a home away from home for vacation getaways or weekend trips. If a second home is in your future, consider this advice: Weekend getaways and more. Think about how you will use the property. Do you want it to be close enough to be a weekend getaway or a week-long retreat? Consider how you plan to use the space in the future. Keep summer sizzling. If you want your second home to be a vacation site, make sure it is situated near activities that not only you enjoy, but will also be attractive to others.
ENCOUNTERS Live Your Life The home-buying process has become a numbers game. And while financial concerns are part of the equation, the emphasis on mortgage rates and government stimulus has come to overshadow other vital considerations. “We’ve forgotten why we buy homes,” says JoAnn Vetter of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Mequon, Wisconsin. “When you change your address you change your life. It impacts so many aspects of your life more than just the numbers.” The notion of location, location, location should be changed to location, amenities and accessibility, Vetter says. “You live in a particular home to have the lifestyle you want,” says Vetter, a 15-year real estate veteran. “People are concerned because of all the things going on in the financial world that they don’t have any connection to and can’t control. What they can control is all the great things about their house and the way they feel when they’re home.” —JoAnn Vetter is has been named Coldwell Banker’s No. 1 Producer for the Milwaukee metro area.

Lake and Mountain Views Truckee, California $4,200,000 Sharp Team | JanieSharp.com
ENCOUNTERS TAKE IT OUTSIDE Janie Sharp is at home outdoors, so it is no surprise she decided to live where she could enjoy the activities offered by nature. When she discovered the Sierra Nevada, she found the perfect place to play—and work. “I fell in love with the mountain life, with the peace of the Sierras,” says Sharp, who has been selling real estate for 29 years and whose Coldwell Banker Northern California office is in Truckee, not far from Squaw Valley, the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics. “I was living in Santa Cruz and driving up to the Sierras often. I loved the small-town atmosphere. I loved the skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and the hiking and swimming in the summer. “It was just so nice I could work where I loved to play.” Although the area is known as a resort location, more people are living there on a full-time basis. The picturesque town of Truckee is home to 16,000 residents and was a favorite spot of the motion picture industry, with more than 80 movies filmed there during its peak period in the first half of the 20th century. “More people are living here year-round. They can work from home on the computer or fly out of Reno, which is convenient,” says Sharp, who prior to selling real estate lived in Hawaii and later worked for several years as a river guide for a rafting company in the Grand Canyon. “So many are tired of the traffic and the hustle and bustle of the city. “I met my husband in Truckee and raised our two kids here,” Sharp says. “It has been a wonderful experience. The community is health orientated, warm and friendly.” ~Visit Janie Sharp’s Web site at JanieSharp.com

Just the Facts Truckee, California ~ Truckee is about 12 miles northeast of Lake Tahoe. It serves as the gateway to the Lake Tahoe region.
Boulder, Colorado ~ Boulder is 25 miles north of Denver, the state’s capital.
Park City, Utah ~ Each year, more than 400 inches of snow drops on Park City’s mountains.
~ The Lake Tahoe region is a magnet for skiers, with 300-500 inches of snowfall per year at alpine ski elevations (according to wcities.com)
~ Among 14 comparable cities, Boulder ranks first in people who walk to work, work at home and drive with more than one person in the car. It ranks second among bicyclists.
~ Utah’s snow is known to be lighter and softer than most other snows. Its fluffy powder is the result of cold temperature, dry air and moisture from the Great Salt Lake.
~ The Lake Tahoe regional weather truly cooperates in allowing yearround enjoyment of all that the area offers, with low humidity and more than 300 days of sunshine every year.
~ Every year, Boulder Mountain Parks core area receives 1.8 million visits. If that many people made a human chain, it would stretch from Boulder to New York City.
~ Park City is located in the heart of the 160-mile-long Wasatch Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountain Range. It is 15 miles from the east edge of Salt Lake City.

THE REAL HOUSES OF ORANGE COUNTY With the jewel-like communities of Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Corona del Mar lining this stretch of the California Riviera, Orange County luxury home sales remain vibrant, although it is a buyer’s market. Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Joy Curtin, based in Newport Beach, reports that demand for $4 millionThis Newport Coast home offers stunning plus properties is rising, although the water views and is listed at $11.495 million. $1.5 million to $2 million sector continues to be rather sluggish. “Waterfront properties are almost recession-proof and always in demand,” says Curtin, noting that the charming oceanfront community of Corona del Mar is among the hottest submarkets. Here, it is difficult to find a cute cottage—even one without an ocean view—for less than $2.5 million. “A gorgeous Hamptons-style vacation home in Newport Bay, priced at $14 million, sold within 10 days of being placed on the market,” she reports. Since Newport Beach evolved from a sleepy seaside town into an international resort destination, it has attracted buyers from around the world, explains Curtin, who is currently observing considerable interest from Korea and other parts of the Pacific Rim. “We are also seeing more and more highly successful young business people who are transferred into our area and are shopping in the $10 millionplus range,” she notes. Curtin insists that coastal Orange County is somewhat insulated from national and regional market fluctuations because of its perfect climate, healthy business community and world-class shopping, dining and arts scene. “Many of our residents could live anywhere in the world and they choose Newport Beach and the California Riviera,” she maintains.

ENCOUNTERS Joyce Rey... One of the most prominent agents on Los Angeles’ glamorous Westside discusses current trends in the L.A. luxury market. Q: What is the biggest change you see in today’s luxury market from say five years ago? A: “Actually, the market is not much different, in terms of both pricing and volume, since that preceded much of the dramatic appreciation we subsequently experienced.” Q: Los Angeles is known for its ultra-luxury mansions. Do you still have buyers looking for homes priced at $20 million, $50 million or $100 million? A: “Absolutely. I currently represent Fleur de Lys, one of the finest residences in the world. It’s priced at $125 million and I’m receiving quite a bit of interest in it.” Q: Have you seen a shift in foreign buyers in the last 12 months? A: “No, we continue to have interest from throughout the world, but the greatest source of buyers is still local.” Q: What was your most memorable sale? A: “There were two. In 1978, I sold the Sonny & Cher mansion for $4.2 million, which was double the price anybody had ever paid for a home. And in 2007, I sold a $31 million estate to a prominent dot-com entrepreneur, who found the home on my web site.” Q: What kind of home impresses you? A: “Anything that is unconventional and unique…I’m crazy about my own home, which is an award-winning Mid-Century Modern.” Q: In your opinion, what are the home “must haves” in order to appeal to today’s luxury buyer? A: “In L.A., two qualities command a premium: privacy and move-in-ready condition.” Q: How important is the Internet to your clients in buying and selling luxury real estate? A: “Extremely important, both for the transmission of information and execution of contracts. And with Coldwell Banker’s LeadRouter system, my cell phone rings whenever somebody completes an online inquiry about one of my listings.” The Southwestern Region includes Arizona and Southern California.
