Our marketing program gives you the service and attention you and your property deserve. Only exceptional properties qualify for the Carriage Trade program designation, reserved for homes of distinction that stand apart from the rest of the market. To determine if a home qualifies for the Carriage Trade program, we carefully assess each property to ensure that it meets the program’s requirements. Value is clearly an important consideration. Carriage Trade homes typically fall in the top five per cent of the price range of a local market. But price isn’t the only measure that sets a Carriage Trade property apart. We look for luxury features that are admired by many, but available only to a few such as: architectural distinction, a sought-after location, sophisticated décor, exceptional workmanship, upscale amenities, inspired landscaping, historical significance, spectacular views etc. So how do you know if you have a Carriage Trade home? Give us a call and we'd be happy to provide a complimentary evaluation to assess if your home qualifies.
