Luxury Listings, Coldwell Banker and Tennis... What Do They Have in Common?

Florida is a great place to live and play tennis. Many of the professional players have residences in Florida and Saddlebrook, our local renowned resort and tennis facility, draws acclaim and attention within those circles because many of the great tennis players train there including John Isner, Marty Fish, James Blake & Bob & Mike Bryan.

So what do famous tennis players and Coldwell Banker have in common?

The Coldwell Banker Previews International Luxury Property Specialist designation carries with it a certain panache. An agent with this special designation is trained in handling high-end luxury property, understands the needs of the luxury clientele and has the power and breadth of truly exceptional marketing materials to market a luxury listing to the local, national and world markets.

In celebrity news, the Wall Street Journal reported that Anna Kournikova, the famous Russian tennis player, recently sold her Miami home.  Coldwell Banker's "The Jills," Jill Eber and Jill Hertzberg, represented both Ms. Kournikova and the buyer in the sale of the exclusive 6,630-square-foot home on Miami Beach's premier guard-gated Sunset Island.  The sale closed for $7.4 million. 

In Tampa, Coldwell Banker consistently sells the lion's share of luxury listings.  Check out the attached graph which shows that Coldwell Banker Luxury Property Specialists sold 22.1 percent of all listings in excess of $1Million in 2011.  We also increased our market share by 4.1 percent year over year - more sales and increased market share than any other brokerage in our market.

Jason and I had our own brush with tennis fame when John Isner viewed one of our Avila luxury listings last year before finally purchasing Derek Jeter's home in Avila last March 2011.
