Ambitious Agents

Nothing intimidates a real estate agent more than the notion of selling a luxury listing. Even the most seasoned professionals shudder at the thought of a home with a high price tag.

Luxury listings may spend more days on market and have a higher marketing demand, but they aren’t as difficult to sell as we think. Because here’s the thing: if you can sell a $500,000 home, you can certainly sell a $5 million home - especially if you use the following approach.

Treat the listing like it’s an online dating profile. Focus on capturing the interest of a buyer swiping through photos of many homes. A sale is ultimately one swipe away, and the better the home looks, the more likely it is to get a “date”.

How do we showcase a luxury listing to attract the right buyer? How do you tap into an often overlooked source of business? In this episode, I’m joined by luxury specialist and the founder of Frontgate Real Estate, Jeff Biebuyck. We talk about how to break into luxury, and the strategy that will bring in hundreds of buyers.
