Qualifications to Look for when choosing a Luxury Real Estate Agent

Choosing the right luxury real estate agent to represent you in your real estate transaction is the most important decision you’ll make when buying or selling your home. This is even more important when you are looking to purchase or sell a high-priced luxury estate. Thankfully, there are organizations that award designations to high-performing Real Estate agents so you can trust in their abilities. Amongst the different regulatory bodies, there are three designations that really stand out when it comes to Luxury Real Estate; Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, Million Dollar Guild, and CRS.

Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS)

The prestigious CLHMS designation is awarded only to those REALTORS who close three separate transactions valued over the Luxury Threshold Price ($500,000 for Pima County) in any 24-month period. This designation shows how active an agent is over a two-year timespan. As rules and regulations change regularly, it is important to have an agent who is active in the market and can leverage their knowledge and experience for you!

Million Dollar Guild Logo

Million Dollar Guild

This designation rewards the very best of the best. REALTORs® who have closed two single-family residencies priced at $1,000,000 in a two-year span, may be recognized as a member of the Million Dollar Guild. There aren’t many of these Million Dollar homes available, if your agent has sold over two of these estates, they have a proven record of success that will help you get the best price in the shortest time.

Certified Residential Specialist Logo

Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)

The CRS Award is the highest credential awarded to residential Real Estate agents. To earn the award, REALTORs® must have a high sales volume (60 transactions over 5 years) and the sales must command high prices ($30,000,000 in total transaction value). On average, CRS-awarded agents help three times more clients each year than other agents.

What Makes A Home High-End vs Luxury?

High-end vs luxury: This is a very common question that comes up when discussing pricing with my clients. The words high-end and luxury mean the same thing to most people. However, they have vastly different definitions in the real estate context. It is important to know how to price your home to get the most sales value in the shortest amount of time on market. Nobody wants their home to sit on the market for 6 months without getting many offers. Keep reading to learn more about how to properly price your home as a high-end or luxury estate!

High-End Properties

High-End Property

Your high-end properties are just as they are described, high-functioning and highly desirable. These amazing homes for sale are valued at twice the median sales price for a community. In Tucson, this means 2x our median home sales price of $275,000, so high-end homes start at $550,000.

This is the perfect category if your home is much more than the average house, whether through location, remodeling or other amenities. Pricing your home in the high-end category is a clue to would-be buyers that they can expect to buy a home move-in ready, with lots of space and surrounded by a fantastic community.

Lofts for Sale

Buying a loft in Tucson Arizona can be difficult because there are so few lofts for sale. Today, I thought I would give you a few tips if you really want to buy a loft.

Tip #1: Get On My List!

We keep a running list of all buyers who are actively looking for lofts for sale. When we know of one coming up, we call those buyers whom have been patiently waiting before the loft ever goes to the public. So you get to see the loft first!

Lofts for Sale in Tucson AZ Tip #2: Get Pre-Qualified with the Right Lender!

Everyone knows you have to get pre-qualified for your home loan, but you may not know the importance of using the right lender. Several years ago, buyers had a hard time purchasing lofts due to lending rules and other issues related to the occupancy rates, etc. So, we worked with a local lending company who has local underwriters and local appraisers. This process took us a few years, but we did it and now we have been able to get buyers the lofts they want with low down payment loans.

Okay, so now you’re asking “How do I get on the list?”
