As the new year of 2022 starts to gain momentum, consider the resolutions you made and how to make them more readily attainable. If you want to learn more about your chosen profession, or expand your worldview, then we at Supreme Auctions have curated a list of three must-read real estate books for luxury agents. We are firm believers in educating agents to help them be successful in luxury real estate, which is why we are suggesting these great reads by experienced professionals in the industry.
“‘Rich Buyer, Rich Seller!’ The Real Estate Agents’ Guide to Marketing Luxury Homes”
The third edition of “Rich Buyer, Rich Seller!” The Real Estate Agents’ Guide to Marketing Luxury Homes, by Laurie Moore-Moore includes luxury market information and marketing ideas for real estate professionals who want to maximize their success in the upper-tier. From its first printing, the book has been updated by The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing President Diane Hartley, with the latest edition containing relevant information about the current luxury real estate market.
It outlines ideas such as determining the seller’s pricing expectation, determining how to identify luxury home buyers and sellers, identifying how to position yourself as an expert in the luxury real estate industry, and much more. It encourages the reader to ascertain what questions luxury real estate agents should be asking sellers, such as “As I begin my comparable market research, is there a particular property sale you would like me to pay special attention to?” Instead of “what are your pricing expectations for this property?”
This book is a top choice for all aspiring and established luxury real estate agents and brokers and should be one of the first books you read in 2022, if you have not done so already.
Diane Hartley is the current President of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing and has made the book available on the Institute’s website and has an in-depth blog to further summarize the book. You can order it online here as a paperback copy, or as an eBook for your Kindle, iPad, Nook and other popular readers.
