Question:

How can I sell luxury real estate?

Is there a certain license I need to get or just a regular real estate license? Also, if someone could give me a better idea of where to go to get a real estate license. I live in Oregon. Thanks a million!!

Answer:

Nope, sure isn't. But, you have to know what you are doing. Would you know the difference between simple cherry floors and imported Italian wormwood that is 15x more expensive? Things like that is what you have to know to sell luxury.
As posted it’s the same license, but can you talk the talk? With high end clients? Your appearance, your car etc all part of the game
Design The design must be beautiful yet comfortable. Consider the future of the property. Select one that has high class materials and fine architecture. Choose a floor plan that suits your lifestyle. For example: if you love to dance and do it every day, then look for a floor plan that has a lot of flow. Resale value Discuss the factors that will affect the resale value of the home. It is really important to analyze the resale value especially since it is a luxury home and the investment is going to be really big. Not just the resale value, ponder on the value first and foremost Is the luxury home worth what you are paying? Think carefully and then buy one. With power comes responsibility The responsibility of maintaining a luxury home is huge. Think carefully before you buy. Make a list of facilities Make a list of the top class amenities that you want in your new luxury home. Pool Spa Gym Home theatre Children’s play area Backyard Lovely garden Smart appliances Entertainment There will of course be much more in your minds. So go on to make the list.
You'll have to start out with low-end real estate, then middle-market real estate, then high-end real estate and then luxury real estate. You'll have to get experience in that order before anybody will take you seriously.
Contact any large real estate firm in your town. They usually will offer classes. Then you take the exams, and if you pass, you get your license. As far as high end or luxury real estate, I am sure EVERY agent would like to be selling the over million dollar homes. Fact is, the clients of these homes EXPECT an experienced professional who is knowledgeable in marketing their property. By you asking if you need a special license to sell high end property and then following that up by asking how to even get a license, tells me you aren't quite ready for the luxury market. Get your license first...then sell some properties so you have a track record and move up the ladder to the more expensive homes.
