The Importance of Exposure The widespread exposure of prime residential properties is crucial. The more prestigious a property, the smaller the number of potential buyers. Buyers of exclusive properties are generally not constrained by such influences as specific location, proximity to public transportation or local amenities. In today’s market, the mobility of buyers is also greater than ever and they could come from, quite literally, anywhere – through local and regional marketing, national newspapers and magazines or, increasingly, internationally using interactive technologies.

With this in mind, we have created a marketing strategy to target a suitable geo-demographic profile of potential buyers around the world, supported by our international network of over 300 offices worldwide.

Presenting your property professionally to the widest possible audience enhances your chances of achieving the best price in the shortest time.
