MONTREAL, CANADA—Luxury Retreats Real Estate, specialist in upscale vacation home sales around the world, has a new home on the web.
The new URL (http://www.luxuryretreatsrealestate.com) was ushered in alongside what is already proving to be a busy year for the high-end property marketing company, which operates as the sales arm of the popular nine-year-old villa rental business, Luxury Retreats.
Luxury Retreats Real Estate (LRRE) now offers over 300 luxury homes for sale in 30 regions worldwide, with a focus on the Caribbean islands. The listings range from $300,000 luxury condo units on the beach in Costa Rica to a $23,000,000 chateau in France.
Beginning with convenient listings on LuxuryRetreatsRealEstate.com, the company provides full services to those interested in purchasing a home for personal use, as an investment property, or any combination of the two. LRRE partners with hand-picked local realtors in each of its destinations, benefiting from their homegrown expertise while providing clients with unbiased opinions on the right location and property type for their needs.
Connecting buyers and sellers is the main focus of LRRE said Brian Schwimmer, its Sales and Marketing Manager.
"Whether you're starting with just that vague dream of finding a second home or you know exactly what you are looking for, we can help you," said Schwimmer, whose high-profile clients hail from around the world, "right from the early browsing to the final paperwork."
Being an offshoot of Luxury Retreats (http://www.luxuryretreats.com), a successful villa rental company with a worldwide name, LRRE has the built-in advantage of being able to offer new owners marketing services for their properties, if creating a successful rental program is their goal.
St. Martin and Turks and Caicos are two destinations that should be popular in both the sales and rental markets for remainder of 2008 and 2009, said Schwimmer. Buyers in those areas frequently benefit from a high level of interest from renters. One LRRE property currently on the market is Balinese, a three-bedroom waterfront villa in the exclusive Ocean Drive area of Providenciales, the Turks' most popular island.
"Balinese is the perfect example of a vacation home that can be turned into a profitable rental property," said Schwimmer. "It's been filled with guests for 94% of 2008 thus far and is in high demand for the upcoming busy season. If you want one or two vacations of your own per year, as well as a home that will offer a good return on investment through rental revenue, this is an excellent opportunity."
Luxury Retreats is the world's largest specialist in luxury villa rentals, offering over 1,900 elite properties in over 70 worldwide destinations. Founded in 1999, the company has grown into a respected leader in the industry, with over 100 employees in its Montreal headquarters and satellite offices in Hawaii and the Caribbean. Over the years, Luxury Retreats has pioneered numerous business-specific technologies, such as online availability calendars and integrated booking systems. The company’s real estate division was created in 2004.
