Marketing Luxury Properties

By
Real Estate Agent with Majestic Properties 3061802

I think most of you would agree that Luxury properties are marketed differently.  We find that single listing websites with localized domain names, in addition to the rest of the marketing we do, produces better results.

Looking for web designers that specialized in single property listings, we found the nicest guy in the world that produced not only a great looking site, but he did it quickly and to our specifications.  Here's a screenshot of the site - by clicking on the picture, you will be redirected to the site.

8041 Fisher Island Drive

The listing is located in exclusive Fisher Island that can only be reached by Ferry or Helicopter, so providing Fisher Island Drive and Fisher Isle as a domain name was perfect.  Jeff Micou, the web designer and owner of LRE (Luxe Real Estate), was able to provide the domains as well design the sites quickly and professionally.

I also invited him to Active Rain to get him some business, since we are so happy with the sites.  Take a look and tell me what you think.  Give Jeff a call if you have any questions, I am sure you'll be very satisfied with the work.

Ines - lovely!!  What a great listing and how neat that you found someone so responsive to what you needed and in such a timely manner.  Great compliment to him to invite him here!  Nice little price tag - think they'll accept some coupons?

Nice post - love the pictures!

Ann - I totally agree -"RESPONSIVE" is a great word and is exactly what describes Jeff's services.  (as for the coupons....not even for a Ferry ride.....LOL!)

Lisa - thank you...I couldn't be more pleased.

 Ines,

Copy & paste this into a blog while in HTML and see if your 8041 web page is "live". It should work. If you want a bigger or smaller box so that your ad fits more snugly, just change the height and width numbers while in HTML.

This way when you put a web page ad into AR's Localism, your ad will be live already, readers won't have to click on it and leave the site.

Ines, I remember reading a blog that you did on Fishers Island and thinking what a great place that would be to visit.  Those are some beautiful looking units, and the view is unbelievable.

Dena - we have an open door here, you know that!

Sue.....you ROCK!  I will use it for the listing blog I'm about to do - thanks a million!!  Isn't your birthday on wednesday???? : )

Maggie - I hope we sell this one quickly as well - most luxury condo sales in Miami have been Fisher Island sales......Fisher Island is HOT!

George, your memory is truly amazing (must be all the fried sushi you eat) - the private beach these units have is absolutely amazing.

Thanks Beth - Jeff is definitely a good guy to have on your side and he has many great domains for your agnets that do Venetian, Sunset Islands and others.

Maggie - I did too....I have it in "draft mode"

Ines - I am curious if you can link this listing back to your Fisher Island piece you wrote a while back.  Did the seller come from that piece?

Ines, I just re-read my comment - I don't mean link as in linking the blogs together - I meant did you obtain this seller from that first piece?

Steve, thanks for clearing that up.  I have definitely gotten leads from Active Rain and my first listing a couple of weeks ago, but this particular seller did not come from Active Rain (it would be a nice success story though) - here's that post anyway Fisher Island's life line

Thanks Ines, I think I was sort of hoping it came from that piece, but either way - what a property!

THE NIXTER!!!  I do a combination of the two in order to please the visual brains and include the links!  If you see the new post, I included all the kewords separately (away from the iframe) and then the link to the site as well. (I'm learning)

Another photog question (we don't have any up here).  What does a photo session for a typical new listing cost in Miami?  I'm trying to understand this niche business better.

Jeff, somehow, your comment never reached me (go figure), and found it now after someone spammed the post.  A photo session will vary depending on complexity of the shoot.  Some companies start at $300 and can go up in excess of $2000
