When some
people think of luxury they associate the word with a lifestyle of
conspicuous consumption, and with being ostentatious, flashy, affected,
showy, brazen, flamboyant, and pretentious. This has given luxury a bad
name. For us, luxury is about reaching for the best that life has to
offer because it is there to be enjoyed by you, not to impress others,
and also because it affirms that you can have whatever makes you happy.
When in comes to others, luxury is about having class in the way you
interact with everyone you encounter, simply because it feels good.
Class is
both elegance in style, and excellence in whatever you create. Having
class implies that you know how to find the “high road” and consistently
choose to take it. Class is not the exclusive purview of the rich and
famous. It is accessible to everyone.
As a
luxury real estate marketing professional your personal brand is an
opportunity to instantly demonstrate that you are someone who has class,
and to continuously fortify that fact in the minds of your target
market. It is also a vehicle to attract others who have class by making
it easy for them to spread the word about YOU to like-minded
individuals.
Recently,
a previous client of ours, Maurice Tegelaar, a top agent in Sonoma,
California, needed a quick augmentation to his website to help secure a
very prestigious listing. We were able to re-arrange our schedule and
mobilize our team to accommodate his very brief window of opportunity.
A couple
days after completing the project we received a hand-written thank
you note and a box of chocolate from a local wine country chocatier.
Sure, he sent us an email thank you. But this extra touch showed
class! It also demonstrated the consistency in his personal
branding.
Notice
that his brand strikes the perfect balance between formality and
informality that exemplifies the best of the wine country. There is no
pretentiousness here, just simple elegance. It is a luxury to have
Maurice as a friend and it is a pleasure to refer him, with complete
confidence, to anyone looking for a great agent in his area of
expertise.
