luxury homes: New Cuba Gooding Jr. movie films at Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan estate - 10/09/08 05:00 PM
I have some very fun news to share. A new TNT movie starring Oscar® winner Cuba Gooding Jr. is currently filming in the Detroit area, and part of the filming is being done at a waterfront luxury home on Windmill Point Drive in Grosse Pointe Park. This property is being represented by Higbie Maxon Agney, Inc. Realtors, a member of Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate and the Board of Regents.Check out this wonderful story in the Grosse Pointe News that I received earlier this week. Sorry I don't have a link to the story online. Apparently, that newspaper doesn't post some … (4 comments)

luxury homes: Luxury Real Estate Networking Trip offers exclusive tour of Plaza Hotel - 09/16/08 12:48 PM
This is a plug for the the upcoming 13th Annual Luxury Real Estate Fall Conference. I thought I'd just say that at the start. I hope to talk about some more meaty things soon, since there is so much trouble going on because of foolish greed, but today I'll focus on this positive opportunity to network with fellow luxury brokers.Rosita Sarnoff, the Executive Vice President of Stribling & Associates, Ltd., recently shared some great activities her company is planning for Luxury Real Estate members who are attending the Post-Conference Networking Trip to New York City from Oct. 14-16, 2008.

luxury homes: Luxury vacations are a steal right now - 09/11/08 05:37 PM
I don't have a whole lot of time today, but I just wanted to share an interesting CNN article entitled "The staycation effect: 5 reasons to travel now." Because people have been very wise with their money this summer and have not gone on as many vacations, right now is a great time to take a vacation. Many hotels and luxury resorts are offering special discounts to entice people to get out of their homes and into a luxury community.As soon as I saw this story I thought of Andrew Harper. They're the experts on luxury hotels and travel, and they've … (1 comments)

luxury homes: Ed McMahon and Donald Trump: Is this justice? - 08/19/08 04:15 PM
Nick Antonicello, Director of Sales for Unique Homes, pointed out an interesting story to me last week in the Los Angeles Times Blog. You might have already heard about it, but I just want to put in my two cents about the whole affair.Peter Viles, Senior Producer for Real Estate at LATimes.com, wrote in his blog entry that Donald Trump, possibly the best-known real-estate developer in the world, is seeking to buy Ed McMahon's mansion to save him from foreclosure.In an even more bizarre turn of events, Mr. Trump now might be having some competition for buying Mr. McMahon's luxury home. … (6 comments)

luxury homes: Live like the king: Elvis Presley estate now for sale - 08/13/08 04:34 PM
There are so many fun one-liners I could use to sum up this story, it's hard to pick just one. I'll go ahead and try this one: Elvis has left the building, and now that building can be yours! Yeah, that'll work.
Elvis Presley's "Graceland West" estate in Palm Springs, Calif. is now for sale. Talk about a house with some history, this two-acre estate, nestled in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, is where Elvis (the king of Rock and Roll) lived for almost eight years, recorded eight songs in the living room in 1973 and spent his last birthday. … (0 comments)

luxury homes: Estate of the art: Combine art and luxury real estate - 06/13/08 03:54 PM
Check out this great article I recently read in the Arizona Daily Star, entitled "Home, art inside are both for sale." I think the sellers in this article are onto something pretty smart by joining forces with a local art museum to sell their property.Author Christie Smythe points out that showing art in a home can be beneficial for both the artists and the home sellers. Beautiful paintings, sculptures and other pieces of art can add something special to a home that makes it more memorable to potential buyers. Plus, the artists receive exposure to new viewers and their works of … (2 comments)

luxury homes: Tragic house burnings expose sad truths - 03/05/08 04:58 PM
Woodinville, a suburb of Seattle, suffered a sad event on Monday, March 3, 2008, according to an article I found in Yahoo! News. Three luxury homes were burned and two others were damaged in a case of arson. Thank goodness the homes were unoccupied and so no one was injured.These homes were part of last year's Street of Dreams, an annual event that allows people from all over the Puget Sound to walk through and experience the incredible features of cutting-edge luxury homes.The homes that were destroyed were actually much smaller than some of the more opulent homes that have been … (0 comments)
