With 1,100+ members from 60 countries, this is the organization to find and market your East Bay luxury properties!
Last week at the Grand Del Mar in San Diego, California, the Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate produced their Spring Conference where they highlighted the latest technology to be used by both the Broker/Realtors and the consumers in luxury real estate markets. Jim Walberg and Ann Marie Nugent were part of this exclusive group of 240 participants from all over the world sharing their best practices in serving the needs of their luxury propety clientele. One of the important breakout sessions I attended was facilitated by Pat Hoferkamp – President of Burgdorff Realtors headquartered in New Jersey. She presented the mission / vision of her company and reviewed the best practices they use in creating a luxury experience for both their Realtors and their customers. It was worth every moment of the session. An added feature of the conference was having Ben Stein as the keynote speaker on Thursday night. ( You know, the world famous writer, director, and actor. His comments about the importance of owning real estate was actually compelling to the point of him getting a standing ovation. In addition, he was darn funny.)
Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate was founded by John Brian Losh almost 20 years ago. He had a vision of gathering the best Broker / Realtors in the world into one organization in order to create a synergy in the luxury real estate markets worldwide. Each selected
member has been recognized as a leader in the marketing of distinctive and luxury properties, committed to high performance, professionalism and quality service. The members are truly the “Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate! Not only has Mr. Losh succeeded, but today it is the dominant luxury real estate network in the world!
Mr. Losh commented, “As I interview brokers and work with organizations through my consulting services, I continue to be profoundly impressed by the quality and integrity of the people represented in Luxury Real Estate. I am pleased to see a steady increase in the use of our logo in print advertising, and our 50% growth over the past year. Each year we set high goals and work diligently to improve the network in every way. I am confident that doing business with any one of our Broker/Realtors would be a delightful and rewarding experience.”
He also said, “Each year I travel to all sections of the United States; the villages of New England, the resorts and cities of the East Coast, the great state of Texas and the Gulf, the deserts of the Southwest, the grandeur of the Rockies and America’s heartland, and this year to Europe and Asia. As a result of this effort, we have added many excellent firms from all over the world.”
By the way, the Grand Del Mar has created a breathtaking resort! It is San Diego’s newest 5- star resort destination. From its Tom Fazio-designed golf course and The Villas, to a luxurious spa and award-winning dining, The Grand Del Mar delivers a world-class resort experience. This is a must resort for those seeking the BEST level of service and amenities I have found in California. I promise you will be hearing more about the developments of the Luxury Real Estate’s world wide expansion of members and luxury property opportunities. We were honored to be invited into this exclusive organization last year Until then…
