Luxury Insider – Ready-Set-Go!

By Alain Pinel, General Manager of Intero Prestigio international, Intero Real Estate Services, Inc.

So long 2013! It was a nice year in real estate, but it’s behind us. Now we have 2014 to deal with. What are we going to do with it? I repeat: “What are WE going to do with it”? It is, after all, up to us. Right? Too many buyers & sellers have been frozen in place all of last year, unclear as to what to do-when-how & why. I guess they were overwhelmed by a constant flow of contradictory news about the economy, so they chose to wait & see. Too bad, both sides would have substantially benefited from acting on their first impulsion.

The good news is, there is always another year. Here it is. We’ll give those would-be buyers and sellers another chance!

Allow me to suggest a tip they will need to consider in order to maximize their opportunities to win this year:  “Timing is not everything but it’s a big thing.” What is the best time to buy or sell a home? It can be said that the best time is when you want to, when you have to, or when you can. Hard to argue with common-sense, although these factors are more about will and fate than just reason. If you look at a calendar, there is in fact a time in the year when homebuyers and sellers would be well advised to pull the trigger. Guess what it is?

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA (January 27, 2013) –The holidays are traditionally a quiet time for buyers and sellers of luxury homes, but Intero Real Estate Services found different this season closing on several Prestigio listings recently.

When asked about her experience with the Prestigio program, Cathy Jackson states, “It’s quite amazing what [agents] can take advantage of through the Prestigio program. The broad marketing plan, which includes extensive international exposure, was definitely a factor in our ability to sell quickly. Having everything outlined from the beginning helped to keep our clients in the loop regarding what marketing was taking place when. Intero agents are lucky to have this unique program to take advantage of.”
