Marketing Blueprint Series: How to Effectively Negotiate in Luxury Real Estate (Part 2) with Kofi Nartey
Estate of Mind — The Art of Selling Luxury Real Estate
10/19/22 • 31 min
Breaking Down Negotiation in Luxury Real Estate:
When we think of negotiation, it’s often synonymous with some sort of conflict that is being worked through. For example, your seller wants a certain price for their property, and the buyer doesn’t want to pay that price. This scenario can certainly take on the appearance of a conflict, but it should instead be looked at as an opportunity for two parties to simply reach an agreement. A negative connotation doesn’t need to be present here, and the approach one takes can actually be quite positive.
Negotiation is simply coming to an agreement where both parties are compromising to some degree. While real estate negotiation will sometimes leave one party less satisfied than the other, it’s still important to remember that it is the job of a luxury real estate professional to be able to fully explain why negotiating is often the best approach. If you can educate and inform your client before the negotiation process starts, you’re setting them and yourself up for a more agreeable outcome.
Successful Negotiation Is All About the Prep Work:
Like any skill, negotiation needs to be practiced — a lot. If you want to be truly great at something, you need to practice at it not until you get it right, but rather until you can’t get it wrong. There’s a big difference between being capable of success and consistently finding it. When it comes to effectively preparing for negotiation, you need to be aware of the personality types that are going to be part of the process. You have to take these personality types into consideration so that you can better prepare and know how to subtly maneuver the conversation in order to achieve an agreeable outcome.
You also need to be prepared for any possible objection that may be presented at any point in the conversation by being able to very clearly explain both the process and the rationale behind it. Remember, when it comes to successful luxury real estate negotiations, you’ll achieve better results based on the amount of preparation you put in before the conversation even begins.
Topics and Questions You’ll Uncover During this Episode:
- How do you prepare for a luxury real estate negotiation?
- Why being able to explain one’s professional fees is so important
- How using scripts as a baseline for discussion can save you time
- Why is doing your research before negotiation so critical?

Out-of-Market Luxury Purchases Part Two: The Importance of Local Real Estate Referrals with Tami Simms
Estate of Mind — The Art of Selling Luxury Real Estate
05/18/22 • 36 min
Being Authentic is the Best Approach When It Comes to Working with the Upper Tier:
Authenticity builds trust in luxury real estate. In order to start building a strong foundation of trust amongst clients, you have to ensure that they recognize it is your intention to help them every step of the way. Helping them is your top priority, and that doesn’t necessarily mean making a sale in order to do so.
While building relationships is important, maintaining trust is key for a healthy referral pipeline. If your clients trust you, chances are high that they’ll come back to you for future luxury real estate needs. If your clients trust you, chances are good that they’ll refer you to their own contacts for the same type of high-quality service you provided them with. When it comes to working in the upper tier, authenticity is the most important aspect of the relationship, and it’s critical that you never lose sight of it.
Making the Most Out of Opportunities in Luxury Real Estate:
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. While there may be some debate over where the quote originated, the idea behind it is 100% spot on. Every opportunity to go above and beyond on behalf of your client is important. If you have an opportunity to help someone, even if you don’t directly benefit from doing so, the best strategy is to assist them in whatever way possible — within reason, of course.
Also important is remaining positive throughout the relationship. This idea might seem fairly obvious, but it’s imperative that it be stressed over and over again. Regardless of market conditions, you have to remember that your client is counting on you to effectively guide them along their path to purchase or sale. Presenting information in a less-than-promising manner won’t help you in the long run, but it may hurt you and the relationship you have with the client. Remember to package less positive news in such a way that your client remains at ease, doesn’t question whether or not you’re going to effectively be able to assist them, and maintains confidence in you that you’re the right luxury real estate professional to have partnered with in the first place.
Topics and Questions You’ll Uncover During this Episode:
- How has consumer behavior recently shifted in luxury real estate?
- Why building your referral network has never been more important than in today’s luxury real estate market

Building Your Personal Brand Will Help You Grow Your Business:
Do you consistently work on strengthening your personal brand as a luxury real estate professional? It’s important to remember that your personal branding is different from the branding associated with your brokerage. While the two may in fact be very similar, they aren’t exactly the same, and they don’t have the same impact on how your potential clients may perceive you.
Your personal branding as a luxury real estate professional is what potential clients are going to associate with you. It’s the thing that’s going to help encourage them to partner with you — and potentially refer future business your way. In order to more effectively grow your luxury real estate business, you need to make sure that your personal branding accurately reflects the type of service clients can expect to receive, and always align your website messaging with your personal branding to create a more consistent, well-rounded experience for them.
Finding Your Niche in Luxury Real Estate:
In order to set yourself apart from the competition, it’s important that you highlight the aspects of your brand that make you different from your competitors. Similarly, finding your niche in luxury real estate can also help you stand out more to potential clients. By establishing yourself as the authority in a particular type of property, you’re not only segmenting yourself as the first choice among a group of niche buyers and sellers, but you're also building out your luxury real estate brand in a more unique way that will potentially yield better results in the future.
Before you establish your niche though, it’s important to determine the set of guiding principles that you want to adhere to throughout your tenure as a luxury real estate professional. For instance, if you are determined to always respond to client correspondence the same day, make sure that you commit to doing so all the time, with every client. This guiding principle will in turn help shape your brand as a luxury real estate professional, which will ultimately help you more effectively establish a foothold in a specific luxury real estate niche.
Topics and Questions You’ll Uncover During this Episode:
- How a well-curated brand image can help set you apart from competitors
- What should be included in a luxury real estate website?
- Why establishing a niche in luxury real estate can be an effective growth strategy
- Building a personal brand image around authenticity
- How branding and reputation should impact your marketing efforts

Marketing Blueprint Series: Valuable Resources for Luxury Professionals with Jamie Huggins
Estate of Mind — The Art of Selling Luxury Real Estate
12/14/22 • 33 min
Always Take Advantage of the Resources Around You:
To help you advance your career in luxury real estate, it’s imperative that you never stop learning and adapting to market conditions. When it comes to business planning and marketing strategy, particularly in an industry like real estate where market conditions are always shifting, being able to quickly pivot is the key to continued success. Recognizing that change is a good thing is important, particularly for luxury real estate professionals.
One thing that most successful luxury real estate professionals have in common? Planning and goal setting. Coming up with smart, measurable, achievable goals is the first step in fully utilizing the resources around you. If you employ backwards planning principles, and start with your goals and work your way backwards in order to determine the most effective way to reach those goals, then you can more easily determine the resources that you’re going to need in order to get where you need to be. Whether that involves specific professional development and training, attending in-person events both in and outside of your target market, or simply listening to podcasts or reading books, utilizing the resources around you to help you achieve your goals is the best way to stay on track and make advancements in your real estate career.
Topics and Questions You’ll Uncover During this Episode:
- Adapting to changes in your real estate market
- The importance of planning and goal setting as a real estate professional
- How often you should reassess business and marketing plans
- Why is attending industry events outside of your target market important?
- The importance of utilizing the resources around you

Optimizing Your Digital Presence in Luxury Real Estate with Shayla Twit
Estate of Mind — The Art of Selling Luxury Real Estate
02/16/22 • 41 min
Continually Growing Your Luxury Database:
The key to a healthy luxury database is constantly building up your referral network. Whether your referrals are coming from past clients, your digital web properties (such as your YouTube channel), or from other real estate professionals in your network, it’s important to look for referrals from a variety of places.
And the key to maintaining your database? Reciprocating referrals. Remember, if you’re unwilling to refer business to others, there isn’t much incentive for them to refer business to you either.
Expanding Your Reach Via Digital Marketing:
Digital marketing plays an important role in any luxury real estate marketing strategy. Shayla explains that she devotes a lot of time to her carefully curated YouTube channel, posting videos that help show her personality, establish her as a local real estate authority, and even connect her to the community at large when she interviews local businesses, such as the humane society. In addition to YouTube, she also showcases content on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, noting which videos and content pieces perform best, and adjusting her overall strategy accordingly.
When it comes to any digital marketing campaign, ensuring that your content is properly optimized — the way Shayla does — will not only help your content rank better within search results, but it will also increase your number of impressions, which could in turn lead to additional referrals. Shayla even uses her email signature to highlight relevant market updates, the MLS, and her YouTube videos, constantly mixing it up to provide her email recipients with new information they may find value in.
And where does Shayla learn about these helpful strategies she’s implementing in her marketing campaigns? Podcasts (like this one).
Topics and Questions You’ll Uncover During this Episode:
- How a digital marketing approach can play a critical role in building your referral network
- How to properly tend to luxury database in order to enjoy continual growth
- Why you don’t need to hire a professional videographer to shoot your YouTube content (and why you do need one when crafting content around client homes)
- Shayla’s approach to YouTube optimization and expanding her overall presence by expanding her digital presence

Estate of Mind — The Art of Selling Luxury Real Estate
03/01/23 • 41 min
Emerging Design Trends and the Changing Priorities of Affluent Homeowners:
Over the last few years, a stark minimalism characterized by bland color schemes seemed to dominate design trends throughout real estate. A lot of these design choices seemed to correlate with the pandemic and a more sterile approach to living. In 2023 though, that’s all about to change.
According to this year’s most popular design trends, warmer color palettes and textures are taking over. Accent walls are growing increasingly popular, especially those that incorporate patterns via high-end wallpaper. Also making its rounds in the luxury residential market? Luxury vinyl flooring that’s durable enough to stand up to high foot traffic and wear and tear.
Bringing inside elements outside is another trend that’s growing in popularity. With many homeowners wanting a more seamless transition from indoors to out, and ample natural light sources becoming increasingly important, biophilic design is becoming a more popular option. In 2023, design trends are set to be a lot more colorful, have much more personality, and focus on bridging the gap between the home’s interior and exterior living spaces.
Topics Discussed During this Episode:
- How design trends are shifting in a post-pandemic world
- Why color is being utilized in a much bolder way
