On the market: the meticulous sales strategy behind ‘White Mansion’ by Vancouver ‘

When Clarence DeLaltor, with Royal Pacific Lion’s Gate Realty, assumed the $ 38.8 million offer For one of the most unique luxurious features of West Vancouver-a vast white mansion on Crestline Road with a private casino, tailor-made, hand-cut and built, led glass dome and three lifts he brought it in the same way if he does every house, just on a larger scale.

An important reason why Delle was chosen to represent the property is his attention to detail. “I really studied the building,” he says. “There is a list of special functions 10 pages long (which) lasted (many) days to make.”

That kind of careful preparation is central to Dellete’s approach, especially with ultra-luxury lists where he must speak well informed about every finish, system and function. “It is not enough to take someone through a house and say: ‘Great house’. I have the responsibility to really study it.”

Stand out in a busy market

Luxury entries in Metro Vancouver have no shortage of spectacle, but this specific house, called “White Mansion” from West Vancouver, has a series of functions that will rarely encounter even seasoned brokers.

Guests come in through solid copper doors in a 38-foot-high large room under a custom-made, hand-built colored dome.

The house also includes a professional private casino with blackjack, roulette and gambling machines accessible via a hidden door and a dedicated office and library designed by Stefano Ricci, who, notes Dehelle, is the first of its kind in Canada.

Asked if special archives were needed for private casino, he says no and clarifies: “It’s really a playroom. We don’t run a casino for the public.”

Furthermore, the house is equipped with a spa with dry and steam saunas and a submersible pool, a kitchen of a chef designed for large-scale entertaining and complicated marble finishes everywhere, there is virtually no plasterboard in the house.

Marketing with intention and budget

Marketing A home of this caliber requires more than the standard package of photos and MLS exposure. Dellelle invests heavily in layered campaigns with long photo shoots, tailor-made floor plans and shiny coffee table style books that can run more than 100 pages because he feels: “It is the best way to get to the market, but it is also important that my customer knows that I have done everything and more than anyone else.”

Every book he produces is real estate, written in detail and translated into Mandarin to reach a global audience. He compares the effort needed to ‘do a newspaper at the university’.

When it comes to the floor plans, DeLelle personally assesses every room to guarantee accuracy.

And he doesn’t stop at a single photo shoot. “I do three to five shoots (that) costs a lot of time (s) money. And I am there with the photographer, so that we capture the images that we have to present (the real estate).”

The offer is also promoted in International Luxemedia, even in September on several magazine covers.

Nevertheless, Delle is avoiding smashing broker’s all-party parties or open houses. “This is not a place for brokers to get some free sushi and to chat with each other. This is a serious house that deserves serious respect,” he says. Only in advance qualified buyers, accompanied by their agents, are allowed by the door.

The art of the show

The background of Delle as a lawyer informs how he performs impressions that can walk for three hours or more. Every movement is intentional.

“If I do a show, it’s like I’m in court. Everything I do, every word I say, every step I take, where I look, where I look, is all done for a reason. Nothing is random … I always think of,” he explains.

He also builds space in the process and offers potential buyers time to absorb the house, sit quietly and discuss it privately with their broker.

“There should always be a time when I am just a broker who represents the seller, (which means), it is important for me at some point to suggest that I am going back and lets (them) walk alone, to speak freely.”

The collection meals for brokers

Although the scale of the “White Mansion” of West Vancouver distinguishes it, Delle insists that his approach should not – and should not change with price.

“The way I make this mention is exactly how I make any other mention, just on a larger scale. I give the same time and attention to a $ 1.8 million house as I do before. Every house deserves the same dedication, regardless of the price.”

For brokers, the collection meal is clear: studying the building in detail, with thoughtfulness and precision marketing and presenting with humility and respect can be what distinguishes you.

As DeMelle says: “My biggest goal is that they should like me as a person. I am very modest, modest and respectful … I am just a broker (set) plastic open houseboards during the weekend.”
