Remember in my Mission Statement when I mentioned that I would sometimes use this blog to talk about LuxuryRealEstate.com news? Well, this is one of those times. I'm happy to report that the 3rd Annual Luxury Real Estate European Conference was recently held Thursday, January 24th to Friday, January 25th, in Salzburg, Austria.

Many high-profile brokers attended this event to discuss luxury real estate markets and trends. José Ribes Bas with Rimontgó, Philippe Furer with Furer SA, and Allison Harvey with Arizona Best Real Estate are a few of the featured speakers and panel members who shared their insights.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend. But Bente Madtsen, the Global Services Director with LuxuryRealEstate.com, flew from Seattle to Austria for the conference and she took copious notes. She and I worked together to write a news release detailing the great things that took place there. Click here to read that news release.

I'll get back to my usual discussion of additional luxury real-estate trends I think are important next week. Just so you know, I live north of Seattle, and I got buried by snow on Monday and I was unable to get to work, so I've been trying to catch up all week. There is a lot I'd like to discuss next week, so I hope the weather won't interfere too much. I hope that you'll have a nice weekend!
