With just over 1,000 members from 60 countries, this is THE organization to find and market your luxury properties!  Jim Walberg and Ann Marie Nugent are members of this select group of professionals

Last week at the Grand Del Mar in San Diego, California, the Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate produced their Spring Conference where they highlighted the latest technology to be used by both the Broker/Realtors and the consumers in the global real estate markets.  Jim Walberg and Ann Marie Nugent were part of this exclusive group of 240 participants from all over the world sharing their best practices in serving the needs of their international clientele.  One of the important breakout sessions I attended was facilitated by Pat Hoferkamp - President of Burgdorff Realtors headquartered in New Jersey.  She presented the mission / vision of her company and reviewed the best practices they use in creating a luxury experience for both their Realtors and their customers.  It was worth every moment of the session.  An added feature of the conference was having Ben Stein as the keynote speaker on Thursday night. ( You know, the world famous writer, director, and actor.  His comments about the importance of owning real estate was actually compelling to the point of him getting a standing ovation.  In addition, he was darn funny.)58-luxury-conference-brian.jpg

Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate was founded by John Brian Losh almost 20 years ago.  He had a vision of gathering the best Broker / Realtors in the world into one organization in order to create a synergy in the luxury real estate markets worldwide.  Each selected member has been recognized as a leader in the marketing of distinctive and luxury properties, committed to high performance, professionalism and quality service.  The members are truly the “Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate!  Not only has Mr. Losh succeeded, but today it is the dominant luxury real estate network in the world!

Mr. Losh commented, “As I interview brokers and work with organizations through my consulting services, I continue to be profoundly impressed by the quality and integrity of the people represented in Luxury Real Estate. I am pleased to see a steady increase in the use of our logo in print advertising, and our 50% growth over the past year. Each year we set high goals and work diligently to improve the network in every way.  I am confident that doing business with any one of our Broker/Realtors would be a delightful and rewarding experience.”

He also said, Each year I travel to all sections of the United States; the villages of New E58-jim-am-del-mar.jpgngland, the resorts and cities of the East Coast, the great state of Texas and the Gulf, the deserts of the Southwest, the grandeur of the Rockies and America’s heartland, and this year to Europe and Asia. As a result of this effort, we have added many excellent firms from all over the world.”

By the way, the Grand Del Mar has created a breathtaking resort!  It is San Diego’s newest 5- star resort destination. From its Tom Fazio-designed golf course and The Villas, to a luxurious spa and award-winning dining, The Grand Del Mar delivers a world-class resort experience.  This is a must resort for those seeking the BEST level of service and amenities I have found in California.  I promise you will be hearing more about the developments of the Luxury Real Estate’s world wide expansion of members and luxury property opportunities.  Until then…

What a great experience getting to meet both you and Ann Marie this past week at the LRE Spring Conference. Those that have not had the pleasure of meeting Jim are missing a wealth of knowledge relating to both life and business dealings. Both Mike and I appreciated your enthusiastic welcome and willingness to help us “spread the word” about our up and coming venture. Best of luck to you and Ann Marie and hope to see you soon!

…almost forgot, “Do not be fearful!”

Best Regards,

Matt Rulis, The Society of Leisure Enthusiasts

Hey Matt,
Great to hear from you. What you and Michael are putting together is very exciting - Society.com. It is a brilliant idea to have a place for all things luxurious to be found by consumers. We look forward to directing everyone of our luxury clients to your site in order to discover luxury opportunities to rent - from villas to airplanes. You are correct to not be afraid. Fear paralizes. Until next time…fair winds.
