In 2014, the façade changed from Italianate to Greek revival. As a result, it features a two-story portico. Note the imposing columns, serving as a foreground to a full-width second floor loggia.

The expansive interior spans about 11,800 of livable square footage. Additionally, the full-sized cellar and attic offer 10,000 sq. ft. of supplementary amenity, storage, and utility spaces. The estate features six bedrooms, six full and three half baths. Plus, find a full floor dedicated to entertaining and recreation. Hence, it ensures plenty of room for sumptuous living. Also, the 3,500 sq. ft. carriage house can also be transformed into a three-story auxiliary house. Perfect for either guest and staff suites.

Classiques Modernes co-founder, Loy Carlos states, “Even among best-in-class properties, it’s a trailblazer. The visual I often use is driving. There is a healthy balance of looking forward, of checking the rearview mirror, and of still being aware of the present. This house pays homage to its history It’s equipped with the conveniences and luxuries of today. But it keeps a keen eye towards the future. Lastly, it promotes an evolutionary and principled lifestyle.”

When it comes to flipping a luxury home in California, the old adage of you must spend money to make money is going to apply. Investing in a luxury estate can be a touchy business venture. While it may be easy to find a small family home on the market, finding a great luxury estate is not always as simple.

Sure, you may luck into the perfect luxury estate from time to time, but those times are few and far between. To acquire an ideal luxury home, you’re going to have to take a different route. It’s different than simply searching for an easy to flip duplex or single-family home.

On average nationwide, a real estate agent earns around $50,000 annually. When it comes to luxury estate flipping, you can earn that amount or even more with just one property. Imagine if you could do this with several properties each year. Your income would skyrocket!

One of the biggest things you’re going to need to do when taking steps toward the luxury estate market is know how to sell yourself. Plus you’re also going to need some sound advice on steps to take to ensure your deals are secure.

For luxury estate property, you’ll need to keep in mind that every facet of acquiring the home. From the beginning offer to be able to close the deal is going to be novel to you. But harder if you have worked solely with smaller, family homes, condos or other properties.

The luxury real estate market in California includes beautiful homes on the water, vacation property and high-end luxury homes that are not always listed on the market. Often you will only​ hear about these properties through word of mouth. To do that, you’re going to need to know the right people and have the right connections in the market.

Whether you’ve been working in the real estate industry for many years, or you’re just starting out, be careful. You’ll want to tackle flipping luxury estates in California with caution. But here are some of the top tips to making sure your luxury estate flipping is successful.

Qualification
Before jumping ahead of yourself, make sure you are pre-qualified for the right amount. Therefore, a lender will not work with you if you’re not a qualified buyer. Since luxury homes are considered a very high loan, the path to approval often takes longer than loans for smaller properties. As a result, be prepared to wait for approval and if you have anything negative in your credit. But don’t expect to be approved upfront. High end loan approval is extremely detailed, and you need to work hard to show the lender you are worth their time.

Be Prepared to Spend Money
A luxury estate is definitely not cheap. You already know you’re going to need to spend money to purchase the home. If you are fortunate, a luxury home that you purchase for just over $1 million may rake in up to $50,000 or more on commission for you. To earn this however, you’re going to need to invest money to make repairs, market and flip the house as quickly as possible.

According to SheltonRoofing.com of Santa Cruz, California, the average investor will spend just over $10,000 to $20,000 on repairs including roofing repairs, updates to living space and even landscaping. So make sure your newly acquired luxury estate earns the most commission. As a result, be financially prepared to make sure it is in the condition buyers expect and that you not only market the property, but you must market yourself as well.

Network with Luxury Realtors
Make your presence known by networking with others in the industry and always put the best of you out to the public. Hence, a great image takes time to build, but with hard work and perseverance, you can do this. Luxury estate sellers need to know they can trust the person they are selling to, and you must show them you have the experience, even if you may not have as much as you need them to believe you have. Building relationships with luxury estate realtors can help boost your image as well as help you learn more about the market you need to know the most about.

A good way to do this is to socialize at those places where others in the industry, especially luxury home buyers, socialize. This might be at the golf course, country club or even at church depending on the area you’re in. Learn the market you want to invest in, and then take your time to work your way into things.

Buy Leads
This is going to be another investment to make, but one that can really garner you the overall exposure you need. Buying leads from websites such as Realtor.com can give you access to those buyers and sellers who want or own the luxury properties you need in order to earn the most financially.

You will have to be great at marketing yourself even when you have leads, so let’s make no mistakes about that. The leads may get you in the door, but once inside, you’re going to have to prove you can be trusted to close the deal.

Have a Savings Built Up
It’s great to think about buying a luxury estate in California, fixing it up a little and then flipping it to earn tens of thousands of dollars, isn’t it? Of course, it is! It is also an expensive process to undertake. Not only will you need to be qualified to take out the loan to buy the property, unless you just happen to have $1 million or more sitting in a bank vault at your disposal, but you are also going to need money for other things related to the purchase and sell of the property.

First, you will need money to live on while the estate is being repaired and marketed. Money is needed to make the repairs and cost will add up quickly. There will be cleaning costs to make sure the home is clean. Be sure to know that marketing costs including printing signs and networking can be expensive when you are marketing a luxury property.

If you cannot afford to jump in all at once, take your time. Please build your way up to the luxury estates by working slowly through the smaller market and lower end homes first. Or, seek out a partner who has the financial backing and experience to work with you. Next, form a relationship to flip the estate together and split the earnings when the property sells.

Build Experience
This will take time, most often it will take many years, but building the necessary experience is going to be necessary to not only build your contacts, but also to build your knowledge of the market. The more experience you have working with luxury properties, the more comfortable you will be with the work you are doing and when you are comfortable, your confidence will show to those you need to network with.

Dress to Impress
What if you walked into a high-end restaurant and the manager walked up to you dressed in an old discount store t-shirt and a pair of jeans. How about five-day old razor stubble on his face? Would you most likely be less than impressed with his appearance? Or possibly change your mind about dining in his establishment?

You need to be fully prepared at all times to meet with high-end clients and sellers and your appearance can make or break a real estate deal. This means that whether you are meeting a client for a business lunch or you are walking into the movie theater on a Saturday night with your ten-year old daughter, you need to dress to impress! No jeans or rugged clothing unless you’re out in the wilderness taking a hike or camping for a couple weeks. No matter where you go, you could potentially run into a client. They will judge you based on the way you are dressed and how you carry yourself.

Know Your Market
Take time to learn everything you can about your local real estate market. If the homes you are focused on the most are in a specific area, then learn everything about the area. Take time to study flood maps to make sure properties are not in flood zones and check out the typical weather patterns throughout the year as well. Buyers will often ask how the weather is during particular times of the year, and you should know what to tell them.

You should also know where the best coffee shops, restaurants, shopping venues and other places people enjoy visiting are located. Take time to also get to know the local community members if possible. Sure, in a luxury community, you certainly won’t be able to just walk up to a random neighborhood door and knock to say hello. But try to gain membership to local clubs where those in the community socialize. Then start working your way into their world as much as possible.

You will need to fully infiltrate your life into the luxury community. Take time to learn the things that are most important in this world including tech gadgets, spa treatments, art and even wine. Being able to live the luxury lifestyle, at least to some degree, will better help you understand what people want. Realize how to make sure they have what they want when you are working to buy and sale your luxury estate.

Taking time to know how the community works will give you time to build your presence and start networking within the local community. If you want to make the most possible on a flip, you must know your local market inside and out.

Work Open Houses in Luxury Neighborhoods
If you have real estate friends or business connections, take time to ask them to let you work their open houses. Even if the house is not your own and you have nothing invested in it at all, simply being there will open the door to meeting potential buyers and building a repertoire with them for the future. Working hard to close a deal at an open house is a great way to get started with your own luxury estate flipping. ​

Hard Work Paves the Way
It does not matter how much money you have to invest or how much experience you have. When starting out but working hard will pave the way to closing the deals you want to close. Whether you have a physical office downtown or even in your spare bedroom, you need to be a mover and shaker. Start working out of the local coffee shop, school field day or local community events. Meet and greet people who may be in the market for the properties you plan to invest in.

Work hard every day to learn as much as possible about the local luxury estate market. Therefore over time, you’ll become an expert in the field that others can trust. This takes time, so don’t expect to decide one day to buy a luxury home and be able to flip it the next. Because it is not going to happen that way. This is something that will take time. But with due diligence and plenty of sweat hours, it’s possible. So build your image and your knowledge of the market. You’ll soon find you can make those great investments and start working to flip those luxury estates in California one after the other.

Have you dreamed of owning a luxury estate? We hope the information we shared has helped you better make a decision. Please stop by soon to follow our luxury blog. Keep up on the latest luxury real estate market news.

If you decide selling your luxury home, it can be difficult to do. But once the decision is made, you may be ready to move ahead quickly with the process. At first glance, you may think that you can simply hire a realtor and list the property on the market. However, there are a few helpful steps that you can walk through initially that can prepare you and your home more fully for the process. We want to share 4 tips to consider before selling your luxury home.

Pricing and Paperwork

The list price for selling your luxury home is critical to enjoying the best results. While you may want to get the best price possible for your property, overpricing may turn off many buyers and result in less interest in the home.

On the other hand, if your list price is too low, you may leave money on the table by agreeing to sell the home for less than it is worth. Some underpricing strategies, however, can spur a bidding war that drives the price higher.

Your luxury real estate agent should complete a detailed comparative market analysis to help you price the home appropriately for a fast and fair sale. Data research and market exploration will be completed, and the home’s amenities, size, location and condition will all be taken into account.

High-tech features, such as a lavish home entertainment system or smart home technology, boost the value of the home. Ensure that your real estate agent is aware of all of your home’s features. It can also be helpful to pull out the property’s blue prints, the survey and your mortgage documents before listing the home for sale.

Review your mortgage payoff information to ensure that the list price will cover the mortgage payoff amount. The survey and blue prints may be provided to an interested buyer upon request. If selling your home quickly is important, you can consider using a concierge auction service rather than walking through the traditional sales process.

Marketing

Your real estate agent will help you to learn about all of the marketing techniques and strategies available when listing your home. Keep in mind that proper marketing for a luxury home involves more than just placing a sign in the front yard and the listing in the MLS.

A good real estate agent will take time to learn more about your property’s key features to determine the target audience. The listing will have descriptive wording that appeals to the specific target audience identified. A detailed listing will showcase the luxurious benefits of the house and sell the lifestyle that your target audience desires. The agent will also actively market your home in as many online real estate platforms as possible.

When selecting your agent, focus on the marketing strategy they will use as well as their other listings in your community. Look for an experienced agent who understands your neighborhood’s appeal and who has several listings nearby. Consider researching the real estate agent online. If their website ranks high in local search results, you can rest assured that the agent knows how to market a property online as well.

You should also ensure that their website is mobile-friendly because many buyers use smartphones and tablets when looking for properties. An experienced real estate agent is also no stranger to social media sites, such as Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. Open houses are also effective at creating interest in luxury homes, so ensure that’s part of the plan as well.

Photography and Staging

Many buyers today will scour online listings before deciding which homes to tour. They will make a snap judgment about their interest level in your home based on the online pictures linked to your listing.

A smart idea is to work with a home staging expert to beautify your home before having professional photos taken of your property. Staging a home makes it more attractive and accentuates its benefits.

Photographs may motivate potential buyers to visit your home, but scents can trigger old memories, lure people to stay longer and act on impulse. Consider taking that one smart step ahead by leaving freshly baked bread or cinnamon rolls in the oven or burning essential
oils and scented candles before the arranged visit. However, keep in mind that burning candles left unattended or active appliances could cause serious damage.

Many luxury home buyers will have virtual reality home tours before deciding to see it in person. So, after a professional stager has emphasized the best features of your home, you can then look for a professional photographer and videographer to create visuals that will help to sell your home quickly and for top dollar.

Public Open Houses

When listing your home for sale, you will need to prepare yourself for potential buyers and real estate agents to tour the home. Most people will not make an offer on a home sight unseen . Some may even want to tour the home two or three times before deciding to make
an offer.

Others are only in town for a short time, so you should plan to make your home ready for a tour at short notice. In fact, you may only have an hour or less to clean up your mess and leave the home. Many real estate agents will respect your wishes, however, if you request a
24-hour advance notice for home tours.

The last thing you want is for your home listing to result in theft of property. So while selling your luxury home, do not entice others by leaving valuables out (electronics, artwork, jewelry etc.). If necessary, get a safe or an off-site storage unit to secure valuables while your home is on the market.

As you can see, a lot of time and effort is put into preparing a home to list for sale. A great starting point to consider is to look for a reputable real estate agent to assist you. The agent may then make staging tips or recommend an experienced stager and photographer to assist with the next steps in the process. While it can take time and strategy to sell a luxury home, the end result will be well worthwhile.

Selling your luxury home can be a challenge. But it also can be a rewarding experience. The Life of Luxury can help you through the process. We work with many top realtors around the world. Return soon and follow this popular luxury blog.
