Real Property Luxury Group

REAL PROPERTY LUXURY GROUP

Real Property Luxury Group is a consortium of the best brokers, the finest media and the most innovative, yet logical, referral system ever devised. Our broker members represent their market areas exclusively and are admitted by nomination and the unanimous approval of our advisory committee (see below). Without question, our members are the most reputable, experienced and successful brokers in their regions. We are not bound or influenced by other affiliations, and this enables us to represent all markets more effectively.

Our determination to offer the members complete autonomy and exclusivity within their market areas creates a mutual sense of friendship and loyalty that ultimately produces a profound brain-trust with tremendous synergy.

Our media is the most creative and powerful in the industry. We utilize multiple titles, both print and digital, and each is a venerated website. The titles either define a brand or a region and each becomes a digital magazine, cleverly embedded in broadcast pages which can be easily emailed anywhere in the world.

Our websites, over 30 in number, are created, managed and influenced by the leading minds in the business and they work together to drive web traffic to the whole.

The referenced media is leveraged to attract and influence buyers and sellers of remarkable homes, farms, ranches and islands. As we are apprised by other brokers of third party buyers and sellers seeking professional and experienced help, we provide a marketing arm for sellers and the finest in the business to work with our buyers.

This booklet is designed to portray the importance of exclusive affiliation coupled with the creative force of the most stellar media in the business, an amalgamation contrived to continually benefit our broker members.

Introduction to Real Property Luxury Group For over 25 years the principals and staff members of Real Property Luxury Group have had the pleasure to meet and become associated with the most successful real estate brokers in the world. These friendships began with the creation of numerous magazine titles and counterpart websites which included Pinnacle Magazine, Farm and Ranch, Residence International, American Luxury Estates and Classic Properties International. RPLG is a brokerage, marketing and referral entity that owns multiple media titles and websites, and continually embarks on other cutting-edge media to help capture the attention of very wealthy buyers and sellers. Joining this elite group is by invitation only and requires unanimous approval by our advisory committee. We are a luxury referral group branded by our broker affiliates and promoted by a strong public relations strategy. We deploy numerous print and digital magazines, multiple counterpart websites and over 20 redirect sites.

What sets us apart: •

We offer our members 100% exclusivity which bodes very well with respect to referrals, listing presentations and our media.

•

We select the best brokerages regardless of current affiliations thus taking advantage of the greatest potential in every upper-end market. This is an important difference because it creates a separate universe of referral activity for those associated with other referral groups.

•

We charge a 25% referral fee when RPLG originates the buyer or seller without the assistance of another broker member.

•

We charge a 10% referral fee on all broker-to-broker transactions and we respect existing referral agreements with other entities.

•

When we introduce a seller to our member, we market their property in our own media holdings for no charge for the duration of the listing period. This policy attracts seller interest initially and sustains seller satisfaction for the long term. This marketing commitment also helps tremendously when negotiating listing term and commission rate and no other entity can offer the media we control.

•

Most importantly, we engage numerous industries to stimulate direct contact with buyers and sellers while not relying solely on lead generation from fellow broker members.

REFERRALS: •

4

Sellers - Our most progressive referral strategy involves approaching leaders of industries who cater to the very wealthy and convincing them our entity is the best resource for broker selection advice. For many months we have ambitiously networked and interfaced with numerous industries who now view RPLG as the strongest broker network in the country. These industry leaders recognize this because we cross the boundaries of other affiliations in search of the very best while other networks sell themselves as exclusive by not networking with others. This is a mistake and sellers recognize this fallacy. In some cases, our broker affiliates, who are their region’s unquestionable market leader, had no involvement with outside affiliations until joining ours, because they recognized areas of market weakness or lack of exclusivity in other, well-known affiliations. Importantly, once we refer a property to our affiliate, we market the property in our media during the entire listing period for no charge. This is a unique service and can only be delivered when the referral entity owns its own media.

Typically, our complimentary marketing begins with a two-page display in our printed editions of CLASSIC PROPERTIES INTERNATIONAL and AMERICAN LUXURY ESTATES yet placed immediately in the current digital

editions of both brands. Immediate placement in our digital editions has been well-received by sellers who typically have not seen such immediate action and often voice disgruntlement over financing their own marketing expense with former brokerages. Over the past year, we have been referred to numerous sellers of homes ranging from $5 million-$50 million and have been astonished at the consistent satisfaction expressed regarding our broker network strength coupled with the promise and delivery of the extensive marketing we underwrite.

•

Buyers - We generate buyers using our media, our websites, our broker network, and especially our referral partners. In addition, we have utilized cost-free programs in our media wherein member regions and their listings are exposed free-of-charge. When cost-free programs are utilized, only RPLG contact information is available for correspondence. This saves our sellers and brokers money and gives RPLG the potential to refer buyers. RPLG is constantly examining the feeder markets outside existing member markets to analyze buyer potential. As information comes in, we react by adjusting print distribution mailings, digital broadcast, and newsstand placement accordingly. We also analyze foreign countries continuously. As economies in other countries are impacted by global market conditions, political strife, and internal violence, we respond. A great example is our decision to greatly increase magazine distribution in Mexico where wealthy people have been leaving in droves.

•

Broker-to-broker referrals - Most referral entities limit their activity to this category. We recognize many of our brokers may have shifted affiliations over the years or may prefer to maintain referral relationships with those they know best. We respect these professional friendships and would never interfere. However, often we are asked by our members to facilitate introductions, and when we do we charge a flat 10% referral fee of the gross commission. This fee does not fluctuate and we will not interfere with contractual restrictions imposed by existing referral relationships.

Industries we have penetrated and received notable lead generation for buyer and seller referrals include: •

Financial management and hedge fund companies

•

Oil and gas

•

Immigration law firms

•

Entertainment (TV, Film, and Broadway)

•

Talent Agencies

elcome to Tir Na Nog, an exclusive and enchanting private estate near the historic town of Governors Harbour, Eleuthera, a place where the legend of “The Land of the Ever Young”

can come to reality.

Here the flowers bloom all year-round against the backdrop of fabulous views of the Atlantic Ocean, casting their scents within the peace and serenity of the 10 acre gardens and walkways.

Tir Na Nog is located in the most sought after location in Eleuthera, the Atlantic seashore on Banks Road, where there are a select number of Estates overlooking an amazing beach and only minutes from nearby restaurants and the charming Village of Governors Harbour.

At Tir Na Nog your senses will be indulged. Interiors were recently renovated and designed by the gracious David Flint-Wood, co-author of “Island Style,” a wonderful book of what Island Life is. Applying the very flair that made the Island Style decor renowned, he used simple wood and white linens, organic materials, soft lighting and tropical touches ― warm and soothing to the senses.

The Land: 10 acres of coconut lined rolling dunes and pathways lead to one of the most fabulous beaches you have ever seen. Stroll the miles long beach; stop in at Tippy’s restaurant for a cool drink or a bite. Lounge in the sun, in the hammocks strung in the coconut grove or under the beachfront gazebo. Covered with coconut trees and a variety of fruit trees, there is always something to pick and eat.

The Home: Tir Na Nog offers a very special set-up unknown in most places in The Bahamas. The “home” is actually 4 Cottages of brilliant design. The main one is home to the living areas complete with a beautiful kitchen, and living and dining area with high cathedral ceilings and dark wood floors. There is a covered balcony on either side of the main house with one side overlooking the tennis court. Across the driveway is the main bedroom house complete with a beautiful covered veranda with three large bedrooms all decorated with a similar feel to the main house.

Towards the ocean are two self-contained, one-bedroom cottages with an amazing view out over the palms and the beach beyond. These five bedrooms all have private entrances and en suite baths, Three bedrooms are located in a house across from the dining hall.

They are private and tranquil with exquisite furnishings in the simple Island Style ― crisp and refined. Two additional bedrooms are separate bungalows with private decks overlooking the coconut grove, and the shades of the crystalline of the beach and the azure of the Atlantic.

Situated above the tennis courts with sweeping views of the estate and the sea, the living and dining room is a gathering place for all for fine dining, relaxation and entertaining. Outdoor grilling and dining is an option on the Northern deck, with upper deck for even fuller views and very much a retreat.

This property truly is a treat to behold. Make an appointment for a viewing today. $3,995,000. John Christie, (242) 322-1041, john@hgchristie.com. www.hgchristie.com/details/eleuthera/governors-harbour/house-es11259

•

www.ClassicPropertiesInternational.com

•

www.AmericanLuxuryEstates.com

•

www.OpenCountryInternational.com

In addition to the primaries, over 20 redirect sites are used to ensure the optimum number of unique visits by those searching for luxury property. Two examples of redirects are www.FinePropertyInternational.com and www.DistinctivePropertiesInternational.com. Our websites are organic and are continually being upgraded, with additional improvements always forthcoming. We offer consolidated listing and search capabilities using Internet Data Connection (IDC) technology which allows for data exchange between two web systems. Using web services and XML, we can facilitate the reference of real-time data from one website to another and with IDC we can automap listings on our site. From the sales side, we plan to implement an email-based solution that allows agents to send mass emails that contain their listings in a professionally-designed template, including the auto-map ability and viewing more information about the listing.

Our Websites

Print – We view print media as both the physical representation of our brokers and their listings as well as an invaluable tool to offer sellers of referred properties. Our printed magazines are intelligently distributed to the very wealthy and to the right newsstands. We stress the importance of the utilization of the custom-cover option and its many attributes.

The custom-cover option allows our members to consistently dominate the cover wrap of every publication for those distributed locally. Though only the text portion is distributed universally, custom-covered editions are distributed to that broker’s personal mailing lists, their office locations, and to fine bookstore locations locally or regionally important. We have found when local recipients receive a custom-covered publication at home in the mail or see

one for sale at a local Barnes and Noble, their immediate response to the publication is greatly enhanced and they are more likely to retain it. When used in listing presentations, custom-covered editions not only show your company consistently on the front cover (as well as the accompanying back, inside front and inside back covers) but offer you the ability to place listings on the front cover in any future edition. It cannot be overstressed how the customcover option can be used to brand a company and its listings to the very wealthy in that particular market and how the collective mailing lists of fellow affiliates distributing magazines in a similar fashion creates one of the truly great demographic lists imaginable.

Emanating an elegant ambiance untarnished by the passage of time, the gracious brick and stucco manor with a slate roof was designed as a personal residence by I.N.

The lovingly and meticulously maintained interior features 9½-foot ceilings, broad leaded casement windows infusing abundant sunlight and eight distinctive marble and limestone fireplaces. Triple French doors in the grand living room open to a glorious harbor front terrace with sweeping lawns extending to water’s edge. The banquet-sized formal dining room opens to a lovely side terrace. A spacious family room, bay-windowed library, exceptionally equipped kitchen with large butler’s pantry, a charming breakfast room walled with windows and an elegant powder room complete the main floor. There are eight second/third floor family bedrooms, five with water views, one with balcony overlooking the water, served by seven baths, including the luxurious, private master suite featuring fireplaces in the sitting room and bedroom chamber, separate lady’s and gentleman’s baths and walk-in dressing rooms. A second floor staff wing comprising two bedrooms, one bath and a sitting room offers the versatility for an exercise room and office. An open terrace on the top floor enjoys mesmerizing views across the Sound. Amenities include an elevator, three-car heated garage and 24-hour gated security.

Embracing over one-and-a-half spectacular, beautifully secluded waterfront acres accentuated by a stunning professional landscape with an infinity-edge pool and spa, this magnificent 1919 stone manor was designed by Donn Barber, one of the most respected architects of the early 20th century. Exquisitely restored to perfection under the direction of Austin Patterson Disston, AIA, the 17-room residence maintains extraordinary original architectural integrity and ambiance, while emanating elegant, state-of-art sophistication. A stunning vaulted gallery walled with French doors introduces the sublime, sun-filled interior offering a remarkable indoor/outdoor entertainment flow and mesmerizing vistas from virtually every room of picturesque Cos Cob Harbor and the moorings at nearby Riverside Yacht Club. Triple French doors in the grand double living room and banquet-sized dining room, both with limestone fireplaces, lead to a gracious covered terrace spanning the entire rear. From the terrace, verdant sweeping lawns stretch to an extensive shoreline with a seawall and private dock. The handsome library, richly paneled in antique pine, features a limestone fireplace. The gourmet kitchen with coffered ceiling, marble countertops and birds-eye maple center isle opens to a wonderful family room enhanced by a fireplace, distinctive hand painted built-ins, doubleheight floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors to the terrace. The impressive butler’s pantry is appointed with extensive beveled glass china cabinetry, wet bar and serving area. An exquisite guest powder room serves principal rooms. There are five en suite family bedrooms, three with fireplaces, plus main floor staff quarters. The luxuriant master wing includes a sitting room with fireplace, three-exposure bedroom, private balcony, spacious bathroom, and his and her walk-in custom dressing rooms. Completing the layout is a vast vaulted artist studio or playroom with half bath; media/recreation room; temperature-controlled wine cellar; dog grooming room; and cabana facilities with bath and changing room.

Villa Serena

Villa Serena Los ALtos HiLLs, CALiforniA Built in 2002, the villa is the culmination of the current owners’ vision to create a masterpiece in the style of 16th century Italian Renaissance architect, Andrea Palladio – considered to be one of the most influential individuals in the history of architecture. Taking several years to complete, this spectacular estate is a triumph of architectural design and exceptional craftsmanship that unfolds over 5 glorious acres in Los Altos Hills. Local and international artisans were assembled to create a world touched by beauty at every turn. In keeping with the style of the Veneto region of Italy, floors were hand-set in intricately designed terrazzo, ceilings sculpted by master plasterers, and interior doors, lights and hardware were all custom made just for Villa Serena. Inspired by travel throughout the world, the kitchen is an original by renowned London designer Clive Christian, the lounge is a replica of the Buddha Bar in Paris, and the nightclub is a reproduction of Annabel’s in London. The result is a sumptuous collection of rooms that span three levels and approximately 22,000 square feet – all catered by stateof-the-art systems for security, personal comfort, whole home audio with speakers in every room and complete Internet connectivity. Continuing the exuberance of luxuriousness, the grounds are equally breathtaking, framing the classic symmetry of the home with formal lawns, fountains and terraces that open from every room – all beneath open skies and a backdrop of sweeping views of the East Bay hills. $31,000,000.

Tir Na Nog An Exceptional Beach Front Retreat

W

Photos Photos by: by: Patrick Patrick Robinson Robinson of of H.G. H.G. Christie Christie

elcome to Tir Na Nog, an exclusive and enchanting private

estate near the historic town of Governors Harbour, Eleuthera, a place where the legend of “The Land of the Ever Young” can come to reality.

Here the flowers bloom all year-round against the backdrop of fabulous views of the Atlantic Ocean, casting their scents within the peace and serenity of the 10 acre gardens and walkways.

Tir Na Nog is located in the most sought after location in Eleuthera, the Atlantic seashore on Banks Road, where there are a select number of Estates overlooking an amazing beach and only minutes from nearby restaurants and the charming Village of Governors Harbour.

At Tir Na Nog your senses will be indulged. Interiors were recently renovated and designed by the gracious David Flint-Wood, co-author of “Island Style,” a wonderful book of what Island Life is. Applying the very flair that made the Island Style decor renowned, he used simple wood and white linens, organic materials, soft lighting and tropical touches ― warm and soothing to the senses.

The Land: 10 acres of coconut lined rolling dunes and pathways lead to one of the most fabulous beaches you have ever seen. Stroll the miles long beach; stop in at Tippy’s restaurant for a cool drink or a bite. Lounge in the sun, in the hammocks strung in the coconut grove or under the beachfront gazebo. Covered with coconut trees and a variety of fruit trees, there is always something to pick and eat.

The Home: Tir Na Nog offers a very special set-up unknown in most places in The Bahamas. The “home” is actually 4 Cottages of brilliant design. The main one is home to the living areas complete with a beautiful kitchen, and living and dining area with high cathedral ceilings and dark wood floors. There is a covered balcony on either side of the main house with one side overlooking the tennis court. Across the driveway is the main bedroom house complete with a beautiful covered veranda with three large bedrooms all decorated with a similar feel to the main house.

Towards the ocean are two self-contained, one-bedroom cottages with an amazing view out over the palms and the beach beyond. These five bedrooms all have private entrances and en suite baths, Three bedrooms are located in a house across from the dining hall.

They are private and tranquil with exquisite furnishings in the simple Island Style ― crisp and refined. Two additional bedrooms are separate bungalows with private decks overlooking the coconut grove, and the shades of the crystalline of the beach and the azure of the Atlantic.

Situated above the tennis courts with sweeping views of the estate and the sea, the living and dining room is a gathering place for all for fine dining, relaxation and entertaining. Outdoor grilling and dining is an option on the Northern deck, with upper deck for even fuller views and very much a retreat.

This property truly is a treat to behold. Make an appointment for a viewing today. $3,995,000. John Christie, (242) 322-1041, john@hgchristie.com. www.hgchristie.com/details/eleuthera/governors-harbour/house-es11259

PAY-WHEN-SOLD MARKETING AGREEMENTS: One of our most progressive programs involves marketing properties already listed but worthy of aggressive marketing.

Sellers of noteworthy homes appreciate this posture from their brokers but often budgetary constraints limit the exposure one might offer. Our PWS program allows our members to create media plans for listings with little or no upfront expense and pay when the property sells. Closing fees are individually negotiated depending on such criteria as the extent of the media plan and the number of insertions. This program can mean the difference in a member resigning an expiring listing.

OPEN HOUSE VENUES: We also have designed a dynamic new marketing concept intended to give RPLG members’ most impressive listings ― and their company ― unprecedented exposure. Used correctly, it will stimulate interest in current property listings, present the company as the obvious choice to use for future listings, increase buyer interest in properties of other members and offer the member the likelihood of receiving significant referral fees. RPLG will organize and fund a catered presentation at one of the member’s very finest listings. During the affair, 8-10 prestigious listings from different markets will be quietly exposed that will pique the interest of extremely qualified individuals from the member’s market area who have invited by the member. We realize the importance of selecting the right properties to present to the residents of a particular area. The guests are expected to be the elite from the member’s local community and only the member can make the ultimate determination of who the guests should be. The best caterer in that market area will be selected upon the member’s recommendation. Attendance should be strong when those invited realize the importance of the host site, the prestige of the local caterer, and the presentation of one-of-a-kind properties from other locations. We will co-host the event with the member and RPLG will be responsible for all costs incurred. Potential buyers who express interest in any of the properties exhibited will be directed to the listing broker through the RPLG Referral Network, designed to generate considerable referral fees for the member host.

MEMBER MEETINGS: General meetings will be held twice a year and enable members to congregate, exchange ideas, and form lasting friendships. RPLG meetings will be held and administered “at cost” which differs tremendously from other entities who view them as profit centers. Our gatherings will be in great places with wonderful amenities and include notable speakers but they will not be expensive.

The visuals depicted in this brochure will assist in understanding the powerful marketing and brand awareness strategies of Real Property Luxury Group and should prove informative. Those related to digital magazine broadcasting demonstrate the benefits of converting print to digital. Imagine the growing number of qualified individuals that will be reached with our magazines, their digital counterparts and our websites as well as the potential for referrals from new market areas. We believe we have developed an extremely intelligent and affordable exclusive marketing and referral system which will endear itself to the best in the business.
