Debra Johnston, Atlanta, GA: "Social Media, particularly Instagram."

Doug Labor, Steamboat Springs, CO: "From email and online forums to picking up the phone, there are many ways to network. My favorite way is the forums. They offer a variety of topics and allow many brokers from different perspectives to give their insight and opinions."

Elisa Linton, Humble/Kingwood (Houston metro area), TX: "Virtual Events are more common. In-person events in small groups where social distances are practiced"

Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty, Upper West Side, New York City, NY: "Zoom and webinars is a new way of life. LinkedIn is offering ways to connect with like-minded real estate professionals as well as LinkedIn groups. We started our Broadway Realty group that increased to over 700 professionals in a couple of weeks."

Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA: "Price opinion invites to properties preparing to hit [the] market."

Frank D. Isoldi, Westfield, NJ: "I love the exclusive networking that Haute Residence offers to its members. It’s always refreshing to brainstorm with like-minded agents."

KC Martin, Paris, France: "While there are many online tools currently available in the market, personal contact is still the best way to build and maintain personal and professional relationships. Reaching out via phone, Zoom, or occasionally socially distanced meetings proves still that real estate is a people business built on real relationships."

Kelly Ringer-Radetich, Redwood City, CA: "In person, but with Covid, Zoom will have to do, or phone calls.."

Krista Richman, Fort Lauderdale, FL: "Project events are an excellent way to learn about the project itself and meet new faces in the industry."

Leslie S. Modell of the Leslie S. Modell Team, Midtown East, New York City, NY: "During this period where we can't get together socially, we get on Zoom panels together, team meetings, phone calls, and send out e-blasts."

Mark Salmon,  South Tahoe, CA: "Professional social media sites."

Nilou Henderson of Henderson Ventures, Charlotte, NC: "Social media. Due to the current climate, I am utilizing social media to network with fellow agents, our community, and our clients."

Catherine Burgess of The Burgess Group, Boulder, CO: "Our area has appreciated substantially since last year."

Clara Hartree, West Vancouver, British Columbia: "[On] average, 10% [up]."

Claudia Llanes, Edgewater, FL: "Prices have increased due to the low single-family home inventory that's currently available."

Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL: "Prices are slightly increased but not as much as you think they would [have]. There is just a lack of inventory and prices will rise here shortly."

David Welles, Wellington, FL: "Prices are up approximately 10-12%."

Debra Johnston, Atlanta, GA: "Going up and continue, estimated 5%."

Doug Labor, Steamboat Springs, CO: "Residential prices in the Steamboat Springs area are up an average of 11% from last year."

Elisa Linton, Humble/Kingwood (Houston metro area), TX: "Increased."

Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty, Upper West Side, New York City, NY: "Manhattan is the only area not increase will be remembered as years of opportunity in residential real estate. Prices are expected to stabilize before the end of the year and increase after the pandemic is over."

Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA: "Prices are generally up 5-7% for properties under $6 million."

Frank D. Isoldi, Westfield, NJ: "Our market has 1/3 the inventory that we had last year, which is driving our average sales price up across the board."

Krista Richman, Fort Lauderdale, FL: "Prices are going up, inventory is going down!"

Laura Livaudais, Asheville/Western North Carolina: "Simply put - the prices are higher. The average list price ($397,829) was 20% higher while the average sales price ($390,696) was 23% higher. You can readily see from those prices that Asheville maintains its status as “recognizably affordable.”

Mark Salmon,  South Tahoe, CA: "50% higher."

Nilou Henderson of Henderson Ventures, Charlotte, NC: "Steadily increasing. Some areas have seen an increase of almost 20% in the last year. I expect the increases to remain as inventory remains low."

Leslie S. Modell of the Leslie S. Modell Team, Midtown East, New York City, NY: "The prices I would say, on the luxury side (over $3 million), are off about 10-20%."

Roberta Ingletto of RGI Realty, South Miami/Pinecrest, FL: "Maybe 20% higher. It's crazy how demand has gone up - first homes, now condo sales are picking up as well."

Debra Johnston, Atlanta, GA: "Mostly analytical tools that were not previously available."

Karen Kenyon, Vancouver Island, British Columbia: "Facebook Business page and Instagram."

How did the third quarter of 2020 real estate perform in Wellington?

The 3rd quarter was very solid outpacing last year which was a record until now. Between properties going under contract, closings, and new listings, the 3rd quarter has been amazing amid the pandemic.

Do you expect a more or less active 4th quarter for this year than previous years?

Based upon the 3rd quarter results we expect the activity to remain strong right up to the holidays.

The post A Breathtaking Estate In Wellington By David Welles appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

They were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase. Watch the webinar below

About today's panelists:

Catherine Burgess is Founder of Burgess Group of Compass in Boulder, one of the top producing teams in the state of Colorado.

David Welles is the top listing and sales agent in Wellington, FL equestrian community since 2015, with over $100 million in current listings.

Highlight quotes:

Catherine Burgess: "The luxury market really picked up in May, and has been very comfortable. It's not the same in terms of inventory and under-contracts every week, but fairly balanced... Currently, we have had three weeks [that has led to] a healthier spot than we were at this point in 2019... We typically have a few people coming from Houston, Dallas, and Austin. Now, we have them from D.C., Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and a little bit from Seattle; pretty much all the dense places... For our sellers, we are drawing buyers who may not be here before they close... There has been huge progress in how we can best assess people so they feel they have the green light to move forward... We are keeping our eyes on what our clients need to feel well-served."

David Welles: "The summer season usually slows down for us, but this year was different. We have had a record year to date, people wanting to move out of the cities, not only because of the Coronavirus but the tax breaks. The market here is very strong for luxury homes and equestrian farms... Most of my buyers are cash buyers, but some of them are looking at how record lows of cost of money is, with a 2.5-3% interest rate for a $10 million property [for example]... The luxury market here is strong in the $1-5 million range... Properties are going for record prices... We have been able to reach out to other agents around the country and become a tight group with a lot of referrals going back and forth. That's going to keep us stronger as we get through the pandemic."

Sebastian Tettamanti brings over 18 years of expertise to the real estate industry, having established an impressive resume selling South Florida’s most luxurious residential properties. Tettamanti’s success selling some of Miami’s finest addresses can be attributed to his industry niche focus on high-end residential real estate, combined with his insight into the culture of multi-faceted, global South Florida buyers.

Before joining Dezer Development, Tettamanti owned and operated his own real estate brokerage firm for 10 years where he personally sold over $350 million. In Trump Towers alone he sold over $62 million, which got him honored as the “Top-Producer” for the Dezer Development and Related Group project in collaboration with Donald Trump located in Sunny Isles Beach.

As Senior Vice President, he currently oversees a sales portfolio totaling over $2 billion and manages the in-house sales team. Tettamanti handles the sales and marketing for the recently completed Porsche Design Tower Miami, the luxury brand’s first venture into residential real estate.

Along with the extraordinary sales success of Porsche Design Tower Miami, Tettamanti is engaged with the sales and marketing of Residences by Armani/Casa, global fashion icon Giorgio Armani’s first residential real estate project in the U.S. The 56-story, oceanfront condominium project in Sunny Isles Beach is a partnership between Dezer Development and The Related Group.

Tettamanti additionally serves as the broker for Dezer Platinum Realty, a boutique real estate brokerage firm in Sunny Isles Beach with over 100 agents specializing in exclusive luxury condominium and single-family home sales throughout South Florida.
