🎧 Episode Summary:

In this no-fluff episode, we’re diving into the truth behind hiring a real estate agent for a luxury property. Whether you're buying or selling a high-end home, there’s a massive difference between an agent who can list your property and one who can sell it strategically and profitably.

I break down what makes luxury real estate unique, how to spot the real pros from the pretenders, and the questions you must ask before signing with anyone.

If you're about to make a million-dollar move—literally or figuratively—this episode could save you time, stress, and serious money.

🗝️ What You’ll Learn:

• Why the luxury market requires a completely different skillset than the average real estate transaction

• The biggest mistakes sellers make when choosing a luxury agent (and how to avoid them)

• What real luxury marketing looks like (hint: it’s more than drone shots)

• How to tell if your agent actually has the chops for the job

• The non-negotiables for privacy, professionalism, and negotiation in high-end deals

• 5 critical questions to ask before you hire anyone

• Personal stories from the frontlines of luxury deals gone right—and wrong

💬 Notable Quotes:

“Luxury real estate isn’t about the listing price—it’s about the precision of your strategy.”

“If your agent says ‘We’ll just list high and see what happens,’ that’s not a plan. That’s a wish.”

“Would you trust a financial advisor who’s broke? Then don’t trust a luxury agent who can’t even market themselves.”
