Real Estate - Luxury and Commercial Real Estate Brokerage


Real Estate business is indeed a money spinner. The astronomical amounts of money involved in buying and selling of houses, properties, offices and other buildings can be a boom as well as a liability for the players involved. An owner who has invested crores of rupees in a buying a commercial property would have to regret on selling the same at a lesser price. There is no other way out. Being part of property business is not a cakewalk and you have to be on your toes as you have to meet the prospective clients, listen to them carefully as well as negate their demands, put up what you want and then there are endless series of negotiations where things might hot up. But in spite of all this, there is a huge relief and joy when you are able to make to strike it rich. This cannot be done in just any other profession or through every other business.

Luxury Real estate is the stream where buyers are looking for prime locations and ready to throw as much money to strike a deal. The location has to be searched for, the clients have to be impressed and have to be tempted with huge offers so that they give in and part with the property without any opposition. Hotels, malls, mansions, villas and houses of celebrities fall in this category. Commercial Real Estate emphasizes on commercial aspect of Real State Business. An owner who is dreaming of millions in an upcoming deal might be dreaming only and not living in real world. Just because a building is looking opulent and ideally located does not guarantee it sale-ability. A person who will buy the same has to think from professional angle that when he opens a business or office, would it be financial feasible at all. If not, then he would be simply dismissing the idea. Practicality does matter a lot. How to win over a client is not determined by the property alone, it also depends on your persuasive skills, mental makeup of people involved and how they are being advised by the advisers. How much you are able to offer discount or how much you can jack up price. These decisions can be taken after calculative parleys and thinking and not in rush of blood.  
                 
                                       
                                       
Real Estate Brokerage is done by experts or specialists who have the skills and experience and are able to gel well with any type of prospective buyer and seller. They have spent years studying the market and are on good terms with influential people. They are also good at judging people, a rare but important quality in business as you do not have any prior record of a person with whom you are going to strike a bargain. You have to believe on face value. This comes through experience and intuition. Some deals may go awry. Some may turn out to be a good fortune. It can go either way. Too much scrutiny and you are a loser. Some can cheat by their charm and falsehood. Houses are needed by everyone according to one’s needs, tastes and one’s pocket. A person who can barely survive needs a different type of house. A salaried person is on lookout for a different housing where an affluent person goes for comfort and grandeur. Money is not a matter for him. 

House Hunting was a tedious affair earlier when there was no internet and other help lines. Nowadays you can post free ads about your housing needs and there are  professionals, associations, websites who are there to help and assist you. All you need is to contact them at the earliest.
