Back more than a decade, when it was much easier to find e-mail addresses, you could easily find buyers from Asia, Europe and Canada. Today, it is a lot harder, but of course, you could be spamming.

Learning the lingo used to describe a building design is a challenge.

Is anyone using any of the translation services?

I didn’t make it to Inman, but having read your blog – I am way impressed with how you have effectively dominated the market in Phoneix for Canadian buyers.

I am currently working with a client from England. Yes, there are a few issues; for the most part, it’s like any other transaction.

I enjoyed this panel especially Janet Choynowski. Her honesty and her ability to see the big picture was very enlightening. We aren’t all going to be in the same market for castles and mansions as Olivia Hsu-Decker, but more of can find our way into selling a second home to someone or attracting an investor like I’m trying to do.
I have a building for sale here in San Francisco. It is paying the present owner very good return but he has made all the imporvements and wants to recapture the investment. Everyone here wants upside, even if they never actually do anything to acheive it they all want it in the deal.
This building will pay off well especially for someone that is spending Euros or any of the other strong currancies.

Thanks for the compliments, folks … my wife is interested in Cannes, but I’m not sure that it’s a feasible option.

you look very pretty in your gray sweater second from the left (ahem!)

The truth is that you brought a down-to-earth perspective to the panel, without having to own a Chateau in France or Villa in Italy. Maybe I’m biased and could apply your strategies right away…..maybe I’m jealous that I can’t go to the Monaco Grand-Prix…whatever it is…..you rocked!

Jonathan – As self-deprecating as you are, you are much more of a Genius than you lead readers to believe. It was an absolute pleasure to spend time and get to know the man behind the keyboard.

Jonathan, what I really enjoyed about the panel you were featured on was that the speakers represented many different types of international brokers. I think the room was seeking an “up and coming” approach like you represented- one they can go home and attempt right away rather than after years of cultivating their airmiles to go visit the Dubai Hob Nobbers Convention. You were spectacular and I know that the audience was perceptive to your approach of combining technology with specified niches- very well done!

JD (I like that sobriquet) Nicely put, and a matter of great interest, but why can;t I write just one post and then have a zillion Canadians come down to Philly for the great real estate values and cuisine (soft pretzels, cheesesteaks, hoagies, and water ice yummm)

No worries. After all the eats at Inman I gotta hit the slim fast regime so I can get back to being pretty. However, if you are feeling obliged, put it on the cuff of your T-Shirt and I’ll collect when snow flies in downtown Phoenix.
