Understanding your client - A realtor® needs to understand what their clients are actually looking for in a luxury home whether they would like to build or buy an existing home, their lifestyle and personalities reflect on where they would like to live and what sort of home they would like to purchase or build. Housing specifications, needs and budget: Once I get an understanding of my client’s basic needs and wants I can start the process of putting together a portfolio of properties. A few key factors in putting together the portfolio is their housing specifications, such as size, floor plan, style, bedrooms, bathrooms, media room, fitness center, rec center, pool, entertaining needs, and of course the finishes. Housing needs: Will this be used for a second home? Primary residence? Need to consider maintenance? Do you need a concierge service? Budget: how much can they or do they want to spend?
