Your Luxury Home Marketing Specialist

March 04, 2016

Exciting things are happening!  As if launching my new gorgeous website this month wasn’t enough, I have also just officially become a luxury home specialist.  I am always looking for ways to enhance what I can offer my clients, and this is one of the many things I’ve done since becoming a Seattle real estate agent to ensure exceptional service.

So, what is a Luxury Home Specialist? 

According to Luxury Portfolio International, membership of their prestigious organization is reserved for brokers who rank amongst the top market share in their area. 

To be a luxury home specialist as recognized by Luxury Portfolio International is a mark of distinction and accomplishment in luxury markets around the world.  The specialized training required to be a member, the demonstration of success in the luxury home and estate market, and a desire to pursue this specialization assures affluent buyers and sellers that the agents who have taken the steps to obtain membership have the knowledge, experience, competence, and confidence they require.

What does this mean for you?  

I am 100% committed to providing top notch service and expertise when it comes to buying or selling your luxury home.  

My designation as a Luxury Home Specialist is the assurance I can give to my clients that I am knowledgable about the luxury housing market and I know what it takes to be successful.  Buying or selling a luxury home is highly specialized and has specific challenges – from pricing your home right so that you can achieve a fair market value to taking the extra steps to highlight and market through various channels to qualified buyers.  

In essence, my membership and specialization means:

  • I have extensive training in providing exceptional service and effective results in the high-end housing market.    
  • I have proven expertise in buying and selling luxury properties in the Seattle high-end housing market.
  • I have access to a wealth of resources through Windermere, my membership with Luxury Portfolio International and other organizations.  
  • I have an extensive network that helps to increase my visibility and credibility with affluent buyers and sellers.  
  • A commitment to you, my clients, that I will provide you with the best of my knowledge and expertise to make buying or selling your luxury property successful. 

What's next?

I am enjoying the start of our spring season here in Seattle.  I love the longer days (remember daylight savings is Sunday, March 13th), the Seattle Mariners spring training, the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, and just getting out and enjoying the many beautiful things to see and do in the area.  Follow my Instagram feed as I capture moments around scenic Seattle neighborhoods!  

The Seattle housing market is starting to ramp up and I look forward to working with you to make your real estate dreams come true.   If you are in the market to buy or sell a home or a luxury property, contact me.  Thanks for reading and please check back often for more posts!

Scott is more than just a realtor: in the short time that I have known him he has become a trusted advisor and friend.  I first had the pleasure of working with Scott when I decided to sell my property on the East side.  He went well beyond what I came to expect from other brokers and helped me in every aspect of getting my house ready for sale.  He also gathered the most up-to-date market intelligence so that we could set the right offering price.  Once the sale was done, Scott gave me the education I needed to purchase my new home in Seattle with confidence.  Throughout the process he provided personalized service and had a team of specialists on standby to assist in every aspect of the transaction.  If you’ve spent any time looking at real estate in Seattle recently, you know that every advantage counts.  In today’s competitive market, you need a person like Scott on your side. ~ Mark M.
