Selling Luxury Waterfront Properties From The Other Side

An enterprising real estate agent in Australia,Anthony Gorman of Ken Guy Maroochydore, is taking the real estate home tour to a new level. In his attempt to sell luxury waterfront properties he has rented out a luxury cruise yacht to take 44 prospective buyers on the home tour and see the property from the water side.

The homes all feature deep water docking on the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane, Australia. What I love about this approach is that he is taking a different tact. Growing up on the water I know that the real luxury waterfront properties tend to look their best on the waterfront side, and those that are interested in them appreciate and live on that side of the home. So first impression is not the street entry way but the waterfront appeal.

Kudos to Anthony Gorman for looking outside of the box to sell homes.

Those on the maiden voyage will dock at six luxury canal homes and cast a discerning eye over others as Anthony launches a sales pitch that will leave the average open-house inspections high and dry. Imagine sitting back, taking in the grandeur of the canal estates around Minyama and the tranquillity of the waterways, with a glass of something cold in hand and servings of seafood.
Anthony could when he took one of the usual tourist canal tours, and decided he may just be able to make cruising sell.

“I’m not aware of anyone having done this before,” he said. “I thought it would have to be the best way to see these homes – they are located in the most magnificent part of the world. “These homes are designed to look their best from the water rather than the road, and all the people who are coming on the cruise are interested in deepwater access.” via thedaily.com.au.
