Haute Print Advertising

While research shows that most consumers begin their search online, there is a core group of luxury print publications that continue to reach luxury home buyers. Our team will strategically place luxury properties in select magazines and complement the personalized marketing plan with a strong online presence. Some of the prominent publications in which we engage with upscale homeowners include:

        • The Wall Street Journal
        • Michigan Avenue Magazine
        • Sheridan Road Magazine
        • Forest & Bluff Magazine
        • Glancer Magazine
        • Robb Report Magazine
        • LUXE Interiors & Design Magazine

Relationship Marketing

Broker-to-Broker Marketing: Research shows that most luxury property buyers work with a real estate agent. Our team focuses on this important agent audience through Twitter, Facebook, customized email announcements, networking through office meetings, our extensive network of personal agent contacts. We have found these tools to be very effective to introduce our luxury properties to the broker community and to publicize broker open houses.

Direct to Buyer Marketing: We go one step further to promote our listings by maximizing our extensive luxury agent network through social media, direct mail and targeted email marketing. With our deep connections to the community, we can reach hundreds of potential home buyers, who may not yet be working with an agent. This effort works in conjunction with other marketing efforts to build awareness and excitement about a new home for sale.
