Buying a Luxurious Property for a Business

Buying a luxurious property is highly beneficial not just because of the prestige and comfort that it offers but also because it provides good business opportunities. The reason why rich people keep on becoming richer is because they know where to invest their money to gain more assets in the long run. If you are looking for a profitable and usable investment, buy luxury homes from Shapiro & Sher group and make a brighter future ahead of you.

When you are not around, you may turn it to a rental business.

If you think you have a lot of properties already, you may buy a luxurious home for a rental business. For sure a lot of people would love to rent a luxurious place because it ensures a lot of things that every tenant is looking for such as privacy, good facilities, accessibility, safety and exclusivity. Whether it is a luxurious condominium, a golf house, a penthouse or even an acreage home, it will surely be sought after by people once you have announced it or once you have promoted the rental property.

The value of the property increases every year.

Luxurious properties are not like other things that we buy that depreciate their value over time. In fact, the more time passes by, the more the value of a luxurious home increases. If ever you would need a big amount of money several years from now, you have the assurance that you already have something you can liquidate into cash right away. Properties also have a very long life span that's why they are considered as life-long investments.

You can treat it like a hotel.

A lot of condominium and penthouse owners allow overnight rentals for their properties because they could give a higher price for them which means that they would earn more. They offer hotel-like rates since there's no big difference between a hotel and a luxurious condominium or penthouse. In fact, it is much better because luxurious properties are more private. Another benefit of overnight property hiring is that you can limit the damages that may happen to your property because the same people do not stay in your property for a long period of time. You can also save a lot on water and electricity bills since most overnight tenants only stay in the condominium to sleep after a long day of work or escapades.

Las Vegas High-End Homes for Sale: The Facts You Need to Know



More often than not, people harbor a cynical view when it comes to topics pertaining to luxury. While most people think that luxury is only for the rich, there are actually facts that you have to know especially if you are interested in luxury homes in Las Vegas. So ease your worries and relax as we give you the facts you need to know as a guide when buying your dream luxury house.

Luxury homes can be financed.

One of the most common misconceptions among people is that luxury homes are cash-to-pay homes. This is not really true because only 31% of luxury home buyers do really, really well to pay cash and others find the idea of financing much more practical. Of course, a luxury home will definitely require you to pay a larger down payment for a house and the process of loan approval might definitely take time. Still, if you don't have the money to buy it in hard cash, the house can still be yours through a bank or similar finance.

A picture only paints a thousand words.

You look at a picture and you see what Realtors want you to see. You interpret it your own way and you immediately love the curb appeal. But just so you know, listed luxury homes will always look beautiful when photographed. But don't discount those pictures as the tell all. If you want more than a thousand words and you'd rather have a solid proof of how jaw-dropping your choice of a home is, drop by the house address and see if the wow factor is still there.

Negotiation always has a room between buyers and sellers.

People love to get the best deals out of a well-executed bargain. But just remember that you are buying a luxury home here. You can negotiate your price but you should remember that there is a limit to those negotiations. If you think the house missed a must have on your home list, then talk to your Realtor about it and they might be able to assuage you by cutting a bit of the original house price.

Find a house that is incomparable.

Of course, most luxury homes for sale today are structurally built to be unique from one another. But that doesn't mean that you can't compare them. Shop and shop and shop some more until you find the house you deem is worth every penny you're going to pay for.

Choose the best real estate team in the market.

For sure, this is not the first time that you have decided to buy your luxury home. It might have been your second, third, or fourth choice. The thing is, you'd definitely want an agent who knows the market and is also known in the market. That is, if you're dealing with luxury real estate, then you should also know who are the top players in the luxury real estate market to provide you the professionalism, excellence, and industry integrity you need.

Be prepared for personal questions.

This is not just because talking is not enough. Your Realtor will definitely ask personal questions about you. What do you do for a living? Are you qualified to purchase a luxury home? The luxury real estate market is somewhat like the big league. You have to be prepared to have your accountant's letter of good faith and your bank statement to give proof of your ability to pay the down payment in cash.

Always protect yourself.

Buying a luxury home is a big leap of an investment with just a standard and ordinary home. Make sure that you always protect yourself by getting an insurance on titles and everything else that you may find of value. If you can go over the insurance agreement with your Realtors, then the better. Ask them if you have any questions and never leave without a good enough answer.

Remember, even luxury homes are not easy to find and decide on if you have too many choices and too little knowledge. That's why don't miss your chance of buying yourself a good and great home. Talk to one of our team at Shapiro & Sher Group as we help you find your dream luxury home right here in Las Vegas.

Unique Additions to Your Luxury Homes

Luxury homes are structurally and singularly unique in their own style and brand. No two luxury houses are the same. Some have it with state-of-the-art interior design, others with a classic security system, or some do well with the best of amenities. But there are some home additions fit for luxury indeed. If you think your luxury house looks good with its manicured lawns, floor to ceiling glass windows, fully furnished master suite, or an Olympic-sized pool, perhaps these little additions will add more value to your already lush home.
Aquarium bed
Who said that aquariums are meant to be displayed openly? How about having it on your bed to soothe away those nerves and calm yourself?

Indoor-outdoor pool
If you’re tired of the usual bathtub and you want to extend it a little bit more, why not have an indoor and outdoor pool installed inside your home? It’s the perfect solution when you need to bathe in privacy and the open space is fairly good to breathe in the fresh air too.

Fusion dining and pool table
If you’re a pool person with a hearty stomach, here’s some clever idea to add to your luxury home: a fused dining and pool table.

Ping pong door
Ping pong enthusiasts will definitely love this cool addition. As a smart home addition, it will be fun to enjoy playing ping pong without the problem of a table, no?

Spiral wine cellar
Wine cellars are common but the stairs leading down to it are either cantilevered or straight. Why not make it more elegant? A much modern version of the typical wine cellar, complete with a secure trap door and a spiral staircase, is definitely a worth-it addition to your luxury home.

Balcony pool
If an outdoor pool doesn’t fit your taste, perhaps this classic balcony pool will entice you for a change. It’ll even be better when you have one at each level of your house. A word of advice though: don’t fall swimming out of the pool!

Swimming pool home cinema
Outdoor home pool theater
Tired of the usual cinema—like home theater with dark lights inside? Then bring it outside! Up the feeling of watching a great movie on big screen while sipping cocktails and enjoying the swim. Who would want to get stuck with boring, unmoving seats anyway?

Pool bar and barbecue pit
Hot on a summer day? The cool water right in the pool will be really inviting. In fact, it’ll be much, much more inviting with the tempting aroma of barbecue grilling. If you’re thinking of pool partyies rounds of drinks, and plenty of food, having this added to your home will be totally cool and pool party friendly.

Your kitchen’s very own vertical herb garden
Given that you’re obsessed with fresh herbs for everything else that’s cooking in your kitchen, why not have your own vertical herb garden? It’ll save you time poring over the herb section of the supermarket and you can be sure that you have your own fresh supply of herbs every day.
One way or another, I’m sure all these unique additions will be great for your luxury home. So which one appealed the most to you anyway?
