The criteria for Luxury Home Marketing is of course, very high. It is designed to uphold the very best standards in presentation of properties; with professional photographing that focuses on good lighting and innovative perspectives, combined with high definition resolution techniques which create an arresting image for the prospective buyer. Before that can happen, the Seller is coached and guided on how to achieve the best presentation of the property, with up-to-the-minute design tips and often staging edits which may include some worthy additions to the furnishings, or accessories to complete the desired feel.
