Luxury home transactions demand more than exposure—they require storytelling and strategy. Each of Hannelore’s notable sales follows a methodical process designed to achieve optimal results while respecting client discretion.
1. Preparation and Presentation
Before any public exposure, properties are evaluated in detail. Hannelore recommends enhancements that influence first impressions, from light landscaping updates to staging advice. Professional photography and film-quality video tours ensure that each listing is presented at its best.
2. Precision Pricing
Through in-depth market analysis, recent comparable data, and her understanding of buyer psychology in the luxury segment, Hannelore positions each property strategically. Correct pricing creates immediate interest, invites competition, and shortens time on market.
