Luxury Home Magazine History | Timeline
Luxury Home Magazine began in Portland, Oregon in 2002 to serve the needs of real estate agents looking for a new and innovative way to promote their listings and services to the local luxury homeowner marketplace. Luxury Home Magazine's unique design, exceptional photography of incredible homes and targeted distribution methods, quickly established the publication as the advertising method of choice for top producing agents. In an effort to further distinguish the publication, Luxury Home Magazine upgraded to a larger page size in 2004 and earned the name "The Coffee Table Magazine."
In 2005, after establishing a proven track record of results in Portland, Luxury Home Magazine opened its second magazine in Sacramento, California. Sacramento also became the location of the new corporate headquarters for Luxury Home Magazine and Sunshine Publications Inc. With the successful Sacramento & Portland publications in place, Luxury Home Magazine began to spread nationwide in 2006 through enterprising and entrepreneurial minded individuals seeking the opportunity to publish the magazine in various markets across the country. These distributorships have fueled the growth of Luxury Home Magazine, and allowed us to become the leader in the market specific presentation of luxury homes and the luxury lifestyle.
The strong growth of our organization has allowed us the ability to stay connected to each local market while also establishing us as a nationally recognized brand. This powerful resource for realtors and publishers has allowed some of the brightest people in both industries the ability to collaborate on many new and exciting projects. Our recently revamped website, luxuryhomemagazine.com, testifies to our commitment to bring advertisers the most comprehensive luxury home marketing tools available. This site serves as the online companion to our print publications and allows buyers of luxury real estate across the world to search for the finest properties available. As the traffic and quality content available on the website has grown, luxuryhomemagazine.com has become a must see portal into the world of luxury.
Today, Luxury Home Magazine continues to enjoy success and growth. We have partnered with some of the finest vendors in the country to provide our clients with a product line that is top notch and second to none. Our clients are the "best of the best" in their respective industries and spheres, and we operate on a mandate to constantly refine and improve our abilities to help them grow their businesses. Moving into the next frontier of excellence in luxury marketing, Luxury Home Magazine will continue to enter new markets, improve our product lines, generate more leads for our advertisers, support our distributors, and perform all of the other actions that make us the definitive publication for luxury real estate and luxury living.

"they have grown my business in a phenomenal way"
I am so impressed by the overwhelming response to my beautiful advertisements; they have grown my business in a phenomenal way! We are finalizing a double-end sale for my 3.9 million dollar property featured on that amazing two-page spread you created for me in issue 2.4; from a buyer who received your book in the mail. I just listed a new 3.85 million dollar Granite Bay property, and a 2.1 in Los Lagos, both from sellers who found me in your magazine. I am now representing two professional athletes, and have been contacted by a third. Again, this was a direct result of your marketing! Thanks again, your magazine is on a different level, and I honestly couldn't be happier with it!

"effectively targeted the best prospects"
Hats off to "Luxury Home Magazine" and their staff for an outstanding performance and a great issue! We took the cover to promote "The Petriken Estate" Crown Jewel of Denver Residences, and they were up to the task. Their entire team, both sales and marketing provided superb customer service. Most impressive of all was the effort they put into creating a distribution list that effectively targeted the best prospects, not only in Metro Denver, but many parts of the Front Range.
Tim Clark, The Kentwood Company
"the best possible exposure"
When I advertise in Luxury Home Magazine, my clients know they are receiving the best possible exposure. I recently sold one of my high-end listings in Whitney Oaks to Kevin Martin, NBA player and star of the Sacramento Kings, after he saw the property in Luxury Home Magazine!
Joey Aronson, Lyon
"set themselves apart from other publications""
Luxury Home Magazine is a breath of fresh air. They entered Dallas with a clear vision and delivered a product that is both beautiful and refreshing.

"Best of the Best"
I am personally very excited about advertising in the Luxury Home Magazine. I have committed to 6 issues and had 2 pages in the inaugural issue ... This magazine is well established in other major cities was new to Denver ...I'm always looking for a highly visible, upscale marketing media in which to showcase my $1,000,000+ listings ... I think this particular magazine is the "best of the best" for the cost with regard to the numerous other real estate magazine opportunities ...
Kelli Lanphere, Remax Cherry Creek - The Denver Team
"OUR SELLERS ARE IMPRESSED!"
We've gotten great feed-back from the first issue of Luxury Home Magazine. The magazine is beautiful and the pages are very professional looking. I took a copy from another market to a listing appointment and the customer was very excited that his home would be in the first issue if he listed with us. Needless to say - we got the listing. I am extremely happy with this magazine. I believe this area has needed this for a while!
Lolly Honea, Keller Williams Realty

"why would we not want to be in the best looking magazine around"
My experience with Luxury Home Magazine has been wonderful. Not only is it gorgeous and full of quality information, April has been a delight to work with. The pictures were incredible and the copy was correct. Even with some last minute changes, everything looked great! We all spend money to advertise in what we think will bring the most results, why would we not want to be in the best looking magazine around?
Kristen McCready, Keller Williams Realty
"distribution to the people who understand quality!"
I am happy to report that the couple who has fallen in love with one of my listings saw the advertisement in Luxury Home Magazine of Oregon/SW Washington in the Tacoma, Washington, area. On their last visit to Bend, Oregon, they drove by the address, called their agent and voila! We hope this home will be closing soon. Thank you for your wide distribution to the people who understand quality!
Karen Kleinsmith, Cushman & Tebbs Sotheby's International Realty
"we are more convinced than ever"
For the record...the initial issue of Luxury Home Magazine Lake Tahoe-Truckee brought a client, who flew in, with real interest in the properties shown in our first presentation. After distribution of the third issue, we are more convinced than ever, that our decision was, and continues to be, a prudent one. This is a top quality medium for our high end homes.

"I've made LHM part of my annual marketing plan!"
I am writing to tell you that I love my ads in your magazine! My seller clients love the slick format and the oversized pages of your publication. As an agent who does a lot of advertising, I find your sophisticated design and layout as well as the consistency of the page design refreshing. Luxury Home Magazine is a cut above the grocery store publications. Your target marketing does work, even long after my listings have sold, I still receive calls from qualified buyers throughout the region. I've made LHM part of my annual marketing plan!
Alicia Reid, Coldwell Banker Bain
"it has been one of the most successful forms of advertising"
We had numerous options to showcase our luxury high end properties. Since showcasing our listings in Luxury Home Magazine, it has been one of the most successful forms of advertising- our sellers have been extremely pleased and buyers call on a consistent basis. Thank you, Luxury Home Magazine, for showcasing what our region has to offer: beautiful homes located in a gorgeous setting.
Angela Dameri & Jeff Trexler, Re/Max Gold
"My listing received an offer immediately "
As a new advertiser in Luxury Home Magazine. My listing received an offer immediately from a buyer who viewed my ad in the magazine. The buyers agent said the buyer wasn't even looking in the area but fell in love with the house from the photographs in the magazine!
Mikalan Moiso, RE/MAX Equity Group
"the perfect tool for marketing our upper end properties"
I feel that Luxury Home Magazine is without a doubt, the perfect tool for marketing our upper end properties. I am very thankful that your company is here to promote our homes and our area!

"One of my most expensive sales was the result of a cover "
" I have used a number of top quality magazines over my career to advertise my many upper bracket homes. Luxury Home Magazine has exceeded my expectations. The best bang for the dollar. They have presented my properties professionally and have generated excellent distribution. The magazines' editors have always been responsive to my time frames and I could not be more satisfied with their service. One of my most expensive sales was the result of a cover and two page advertisement that I ran. The buyers commented that they had requested a viewing of the property after seeing the ad."
Marc Fleisher, Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.
"I have received phone calls from Korea, Egypt, Italy, France and England"
"I have had tremendous success with Luxury Home Magazine! I receive consistent inquiries from qualified buyers and I have had two different individuals call me and say 'I want to list my home with you' as well. I sold a home this year when the out of town buyer called their agent after viewing LHM and stated 'I want to see his home, put it on my hit list.' Due to Luxury Home Magazine, I have received phone calls from Korea, Egypt, Italy, France and England. Locally, both agents and people in the marketplace recognize you immediately. A great value!"
Ken Silvester, Re/Max Presidential
"The magazine has earned my trust!"
I rarely advertise in magazines, however, I was impressed with Luxury Home Magazine, so I took a chance. Shortly after the production, I received a call from a reader whom was equally impressed, and requested I list her waterfront property, plus three others as well. The next edition featured her gorgeous waterfront home. The magazine has earned my trust!
Mary E. Hellhake, Sky Sotheby's Realty
"polished, professional and consistent"
Luxury Home Magazine is polished, professional and consistent, its layout reminds the agent of their primary focus. Realtors sell houses, not just imaging and this should be our primary fi duciary obligation to the client. Thanks for bringing luxury real estate back to basics in such a beautiful package!
Ralph Randall, Dave Perry Miller & Associates
"listed his house as a direct result "
I was very impressed the first time I saw a copy of the Luxury Home Magazine at the Hilton Waikola on the Big Island of Hawaii. When asked if I wanted to advertise in Luxury Home Magazine of Reno, I immediately signed up. Within three weeks of the magazine distribution, I received a call from a home owner in St. James's Village who had seen the ad and wanted me to discuss selling his house. I listed his house as a direct result of the advertising in the LHM. In addition, I have received calls and many positive comments from friends and clients about the magazine. Thank you...
Bonnie Beck, Dickson Realty
"has filled the void in the ultra-luxury marketing segment"
Luxury Home Magazine has filled the void in the ultra-luxury marketing segment. It makes sense to have a magazine that focuses solely on this distinctive segment of the market. Our properties are represented well and our sellers are pleased with the results. It has been a pleasure working with Kennedy and her staff in preparing our advertisements. We look forward to continued success. This is an excellent relationship for Luxury Homes of Las Vegas.
Kenneth Lowman, Luxury Homes of Las Vegas
"thank you for the successes you have sent us"
Dear Luxury Home Magazine - We would like to thank you for all of the great calls we have received, which have led to many great sales. Not only does the magazine generate many calls, the clients calling from the Luxury Home Magazine ads are by far the best fit for our business. It seems many people use Luxury Home Magazine to get familiar with homes in our area. When the calls come, the buyers are well informed on the best properties in our market area. We wish you great success. We thank you for the successes you have sent us.
John & Priscilla DeCosta, Keller Williams Portland Premiere
"you have raised the bar"
We have never worked with a publisher devoted to the luxury home market that has been more helpful and conscientious than you and your staff. You have raised the bar for quality in our industry, and we and our clients appreciate how successfully you display and disseminate information for our most expensive inventory.

"I got $3 million in new listings"
I have been advertising in Luxury Home Magazine since thier second issue and had immediate results from the magazine. In my first Issue I got $3 million in new listings from sellers that found me in the magazine. I also put one of my million dollar listings under contract from the same Issue. I have been so impressed with the results from the first two pages that I have now jumped to four pages in the recent Issue. The results and exposure I get from Luxury Home Magazine are second to none!
Kathleen Wingate, Wingate & Associates

"makes a great first impression and keeps on delivering each issue"
They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression and Luxury Home Magazine has consistently exceeded all expectations from the first day the sample magazines were delivered tied with a gold ribbon and a beautiful, handwritten note. This publication is truly exceptional in all respects - a gorgeous magazine that is a pleasure to browse, exceptional staff that make the design and preparation process so easy, carefully considered distribution to appropriate demographics and a final product that is genuinely extraordinary. The caliber of this magazine is evident by the comments I hear from clients that love how their home is presented and past clients and friends that comment on and notice each new issue. This is a magazine that makes a great first impression and keeps on delivering each issue. Thank you for including Las Vegas and for the opportunity to be with you from the beginning.
Tanya Murray, Realty Executives
"definitely achieved the results for me"
It is a privilege to be one of the Luxury Home Magazine advertisers. I advertised 3 homes, received 15 calls, and with respect to 1 of the homes, it is now in escrow! The superior quality of the publication along with the LHM's marketing strategy, to mail the publication to the proper demographics, definitely achieved the results for me. Looking forward to a long-standing relationship.
Nancy Cane Engle, Coldwell Banker Village Realty
"experienced a measurable return in leads"
Marketing has been the cornerstone of that plan ranging from point of sale to internet to print advertisement. We have been submitting ads to high-end marketing pieces for many years and have experienced a measurable return in leads, but no greater than with Luxury Home Magazine.
Bob & Debi Laue, Hasson Company Realtors
"people were actually driving past the houses with the magazine in their laps"
Advertising in Luxury Home Magazine has generated a truly phenomenal response! We had 2 pages in the each of the first two issues, and both times, I could tell that the magazine had arrived in the mailboxes even before I saw a copy myself. The phone rang, and more impressively, people were actually driving past the houses with the magazine in their laps! think what makes people take notice of the magazine is the unusually high quality. When you find Luxury Home Magazine in your mailbox, you can't help but notice it. It's colorful, it's large, and it feels like something special. The consistent page layout makes it read more like a magazine and less like a bunch of ads. Also, studies have shown that what buyers like to see is the inside of the houses. The exterior look is less important to them, and yet it's what most real estate advertising gives them. Luxury Home Magazine's format is perfect for showcasing the inside of a home and really capturing the buyer's attention. I have been marketing high-end homes in Northern Virginia for 19 years, and I wish I'd had Luxury Home Magazine all along! I have also been thrilled with the service I've received from everyone at Luxury Home Magazine. They have given me plenty of helpful advice in ad copy and photos and always respond to my calls and e-mails promptly. I highly recommend this publication to Realtors, New Homes Sales Managers, anyone who is trying to attract attention for their luxurious property.
Christine Richardson, Weichert, Realtors
