Cash Buyers in the Marketplace
May’s Focus for the Luxury Home Marketing Group
The Raleigh-based Luxury Home Marketing Group provides customer service and quality advice in an exclusive range of homes in the Triangle area, those in the $750,000 price range and up. Members meet regularly to network and hear about trends and changes in this specialty market, including the role cash buyers’ play.
“Our exclusive marketing partner, Towne Mortgage of the Carolinas (NMLS #214800) introduced data about cash buyers moving in to the $750,000 and up price range,” said LHMG President Linda Craft. “Although the luxury home segment is an exclusive and pricy marketplace, a certain percentage of individuals will bring cash to the table as a negotiating tactic in home purchasing. We discussed, as a team, how to best offer customer service to this kind of buyer, and advise our home owners on how to manage a cash offer.”
