Today’s real estate market requires more than placing a “For Sale” sign in the front yard. Buyers and sellers understand – and appreciate – the advantages of technology and high-definition photography, but they also realize their real estate success relies on local professionals with in-depth market knowledge and worldwide connections.
Foreign dialects and accents can be heard at any time walking down Main Street or sitting in one of our gourmet restaurants, proving the attraction our area has for international visitors. For this reason, in the early years of establishing Michael Saunders & Company, Founder and CEO Michael Saunders made it part of the company’s purpose to maintain global partnership affiliations with independent real estate companies and brokerages that share a common vision.
“The luxury real estate industry is global,” says Saunders. “To resonate with the discerning real estate buyers and sellers around the world, it is important to understand the demands of individuals who can choose to be anywhere. By aligning our agents with like-minded professionals globally, we prominently put our region at the forefront of global conversations.”
Demonstrating the world-wide connections Michael Saunders & Company utilizes every day, a number of our global partners showed their closeness and collaboration with our company on March 20th, 2019, also known as “Michael Saunders’ Day”, when they chimed in with words of congratulations.
