Selling Luxury Real Estate
The local MLS typically allows for enough description space and photos to adequately advertise a standard 1,500 sq. ft. three bed, two bath home without extensive remodeling. But when we have a 5,000 sq. ft. luxury home on multiple acres to sell, the MLS restrictions must be overcome. In addition, a global market reach becomes more important as international buyers become a potential match. Licensed since 2003, my small team is over 2,000 home sales representing all shapes and sizes from fixers to exclusive and historic real estate opportunities. No matter what we're selling, we make the extra effort to match the property to the right buyer pool with extensive and researched marketing efforts.
If you’re thinking of selling your home in the next twelve months, Stephen would love to tour your home. Call today to set an appointment.

How to Properly Advertise a Luxury Home in Portland

When my wife and I decided to sell our home we started to search for agents who work for less than the 6% standard commission. Slightly skeptical, I decided to call Stephen for a consultation. Stephen came very prepared with comp sales, marketing techniques, and several other items pertaining to the sale I never would have considered. We sold in six days.
