Takeaways + Tactics 

To be the obvious choice, we have to become synonymous with luxury real estate. We can do this by staying in contact with our databases, long after a transaction.


Be personable. When dropping off a gift or an invitation to a client event, call ahead of time to make sure the client will be home. Seeing them in person deepens relationships.
