luxury real estate conclave

“Leaders in Luxury 2011” draws top luxury real estate professionals

Santa Cruz, CA. December 2011 – From across North America, top real estate professionals working in the upscale residential market converged in mid-November at The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel Hotel in Orange County (CA) at The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing’s annual Leaders in Luxury (LIL) conference where they discussed strategies for better serving buyers and sellers in today’s luxury home market.

According to Frank Murphy, an agent with Keller Williams Realty, the exclusive event was an invitation-only educational and networking opportunity for real estate professionals who handle million and multi-million dollar homes and estates. “This prestigious conference provides cutting-edge information on what’s happening in the luxury market segment, offers insights on best practices in the business, and creates valuable networking opportunities,” said Murphy.

“Leaders in Luxury registration is limited to professionals in the luxury home niche,” said Laurie Moore-Moore, Founder of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, the event host. “This gives LIL attendees the opportunity to build an exclusive network of contacts focused on the upscale residential industry while sharing with the best in the business. Since competency is the key to working successfully with the luxury buyer and seller,” added Moore-Moore, “LIL is designed to provide attendees with important knowledge and insights, giving them a competitive edge in meeting the needs of the affluent.”

Murphy considers attendance at Leaders in Luxury to be essential for success in today’s marketplace. “Attending the Leaders in Luxury event is an investment for my clients,” said Murphy. “With the current real estate market, I have to be proactive to stay on top of the market conditions. By networking with the best in the business, sharing ideas, and learning about the latest trends and outlooks, I can help my affluent clients find success where others are finding challenges.”

Keynote speakers included David Michonski, author of the new book, “Power Marketing for Luxury Real Estate” and Catherine Marcus of Sotheby’s International Real Estate, who was involved in the record-setting $100 million residential sale earlier this year in California’s Silicon Valley.

The Leaders in Luxury conference is an annual event. For information, visit www.LeadersinLuxury.com or contact The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing at 214-485-3000.

Vehicle Registration Update

Vehicle owners with registration renewal dates between July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011 are being provided a 30-day grace period from the expiration date before late payment penalties are imposed NOTE: The billing notice has not been adjusted to reflect the grace period. Instead, a special insert included with the billing notice indicates that penalties will not be imposed until the 31st day after the expiration date. At that point in time, the penalties are calculated at the regular penalty rate of 60%.

Fee changes include:

· Vehicle License Fee rate decreased from 1.15% to 0.65%, and,

· A $12 increase in the registration fee (from $34 to $46).

Customers are encouraged to utilize the renewal by mail or online Internet renewal program to renew their registration. These alternative service delivery options will automatically waive late fees for first 30 days after expiration date. New registration cards and stickers will be issued as quickly as possible. NOTE: If customers were unaware of the 30-day grace period and included penalty fees in their mailed payment that are not due, DMV will automatically refund the overpayment. Please allow 3-4 weeks for the refund to be processed.

Law enforcement is aware and will not cite vehicles until the first day of the second month after the vehicle registration expires. For example: A vehicle with a registration expiration date of July 10th would not be cited for delinquent registration prior to September 1, 2011
