“Passionate expertise is what differentiates our luxury real estate network,” says Neil Palmer, CEO. “I am honored that Pia attended the conference in London. The opportunity to interface with colleagues from around the globe; garner strategies from global experts in leadership, social media, and the Chinese market, in addition to previewing the marking innovations about to be rolled out will certainly further enhance the high level of service our brand represents.”

Matthew Ferrara, President & CEO of Matthew Ferrara & Company, opened the business session with “Take the Path Less Taken in an Otherwise Noisy Modern Marketing World,” sharing his ideas to develop a world-class online marketing presence. Mr. Palmer presented innovations to the Christie’s International Real Estate proprietary programs and services, proven effective in marketing fine real estate worldwide. Jonathan Perks, MBE and Global Leadership Coach, discussed developing your personal leadership brand to build an authentic leadership style in “Leadership—Lessons Learned from Global Innovators.” Rupert Hoogewerf, Publisher of the Hurun Report, the monthly magazine best known for its “China Rich List,” spoke to “Spotlight on China—How the World’s Powerhouse Economy Impacts Real Estate.”

Christie’s International Real Estate released its inaugural “State of the International Luxury Market Report” report at the conference. The research paper compiles the results of a survey completed by affiliated brokerages, enhanced with supporting commentaries and insights. The network’s second annual Affiliate-of-the-Year Awards were also announced during the event.

The conference is by invitation-only to the network’s principals and managers. The meeting agenda included presentations by global experts on social media, Chinese market dynamics, and leadership strategies. Christie’s International Real Estate executives also presented marketing initiatives on the proprietary Bespoke Marketing Program for exclusive properties, as well as other market innovations. Panel discussions on social media, leadership positioning, and generating Web traffic, with Affiliate experts comprising the panels, rounded out the program.

Pia commented: “It was a great opportunity to meet long standing colleagues and friends and welcome new ones to this growing network, learn about Christie’s new marketing initiatives and hear about new trends in social media and communication and how to apply them to our business. It is always interesting and enlightening to learn about the similarities and differences with other real estate markets, exchange views and share experiences with our colleagues. Indeed, the conference was a great success.”
