Even if the property has been professionally decorated by the current owner, stage it so the buyer feels at home.  When we’re new to the ultra luxury space, we have to make a name for ourselves to boost credibility. The best way to do this is by partnering with a more experienced agent.  Be willing to split commission 50/50 with an experienced agent when new to the space. A commission of 50% is a much better deal than 100% of nothing.   At the start of this episode, we spoke about why it’s never a good idea to list a property at a higher price than its value. We also discussed how to approach clients who try to cut agent commission, and shared how lower commissions can have a negative impact on clients themselves.  We also shared insights on: Why an online presence is non-negotiable Why ultra-luxury clients are hesitant to buy and sell during an election year How a seller’s attitude can impact how long a sale takes   Guest Bio Jennifer Berman is one of the partners at Berman & Pollinger.
