POWER
of PR
William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty recently completed the sale of a significant Westport, Connecticut estate as a direct result of the firm’s public relations efforts. The property was offered exclusively to the Wall Street Journal’s “Private Properties” column. A few weeks later, the story ran online and also appeared in print in the Journal’s Friday “Mansion” section. That same weekend, an individual read about the property in the newspaper and immediately reached out to the listing agent, Todd Gibbons, for a showing. The showing took place on the same day and an offer was made the following day. The buyer claims reading about the history of the property and its previous owner, Edgar Bronfman Sr., and his contributions to the Jewish community are what drew him to the home. The final sale price was $7,200,000 usd with Gibbons representing both sides of the sale. To read the full Wall Street Journal article, Click Here.

A “Listing of the Day” feature on Mansion Global directly led to the showing of the property for Waterfield Sotheby’s International Realty. The article ran online and was subsequently shared across social media where it was seen by a prospective buyer. The interested party had been familiar with the home prior to the article, but was drawn to the property further after reading more of its history and special features. They shared the article with their buyer agent and immediately scheduled an appointment to view the property. To read the full Mansion Global article, Click Here.
