Selling a luxury home starts with clarity. We'll map out your timeline, goals, and a bespoke marketing plan that positions your property as the standout in Maine's elite property listings. Drawing on current comps for high-end sales, I'll benchmark your property against the competition. This isn't guesswork; it's a data-driven foundation to maximize exposure and minimize time on market.
Pricing a luxury Maine home is an art informed by science. I'll deliver a comprehensive Competitive Market Analysis (CMA), factoring in recent luxury sales, unique features and buyer trends to establish the proper market value. Pricing strategy will then depend on your goals, timeline, and other market-specific factors at play at the time of listing.
Once we're aligned, the listing agreement seals our partnership: clear terms on duration, commissions, and our shared strategy for a swift, premium sale. For high-end sellers, this means leveraging Sotheby's global network from day one—direct communication with partner Sotheby's offices with potential UHNW buyers and targeted alerts to our network of buyers scouting Maine escapes.. You'll have full visibility into every step, ensuring peace of mind as we launch.
First impressions are critical in luxury real estate sales, and as the saying goes, "you only get one chance at a first impression." We'll collaborate with top-tier vendors—think bespoke staging from Portland's finest designers and drone photography capturing sunset glows—to make your home irresistible. The goal is to deliver a jaw-dropping set of media assets that stop scrolls on Sotheby's site and draw foot traffic from qualified buyers.
Success in Maine's luxury real estate market relies on a mix of hyper-local savvy and national and even international reach. Your custom plan blends Sotheby's cutting-edge digital tools—SEO-optimized listings, 3D walkthroughs, and targeted ads—with old-school charm: open houses for discerning clients or broker previews with hors d'oeuvres. We'll spotlight what sets your property apart, like your chef's kitchen rivaling the Old Port's best, to generate buzz and separate your property from the pack.
As your fierce advocate, I'll wield market intel and negotiation finesse to secure terms that maximize your return. Post-offer, I'll walk you through the steps on our way to close end ensure that the buyer is staying on target. In luxury deals, one detail can shift outcomes; I will watch over the deal from start to finish to ensure we close on time and with minimal disruption.
From selection of legal representation to final walk-throughs, the contract period is where precision pays off. I'll orchestrate the legal and financial communication and procedures for a headache-free finale. When the keys change hands, you'll walk away with not just top dollar, but the satisfaction of a process that felt effortless.
With Sotheby's prestige and my local edge—honed through multimillion-dollar closings in Cape Elizabeth, South Portland, and beyond—sellers trust me to deliver discretion, speed, and superior results. Past clients have seen 10-20% premiums on oceanfront estates, thanks to my off-market access and buyer Rolodex.
