LEADIING RE: A NETWORK OF 

KRAIN Costa Rica is a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World,® a global community of real estate companies awarded membership based on rigorous standards for service and performance.

This LeadingRE distinction ensures that you can count on a quality real estate experience when working with us and will benefit from our global connections to buyers and high quality real estate professionals around the world.

QUALITY

Real estate is an industry with over two million licensees and 100,000 brokerages characterized by wildly inconsistent service delivery and customer experience. Yet membership in Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® is awarded only to select, market-leading companies that have demonstrated excellence in service delivery and results. 80% of companies that apply for membership in LeadingRE are turned away. Our claim to quality is backed by this discriminating third-party endorsement.

CONNECTIONS

Even though real estate is local, homeowners can transact in multiple locations, and buyers may come from anywhere in the world. We offer you the best of both worlds. We have trusted LeadingRE colleagues in over 70 countries, which means we are able to reach a broader pool of prospective buyers than any other company in our market. And when you purchase property in another location across the country or around the world, you benefit from our connections to high-quality real estate professionals, allowing you to transact with comfort and confidence. LeadingRE’s community of over 565 vetted real estate firms with 4,300 offices worldwide – from Hong Kong and Sydney to London and Buenos Aires – means we are both local and global.

INDEPENDENCE

Our independent ownership and distinctive local culture are well-aligned with market-specific needs and services. We bring an authentic “Main Street” perspective to real estate that many of the “Big Box” franchised brands traded on Wall Street cannot claim. Our services are distinctive, extensive, and tailored to you. And because our brand is rooted in the communities in which our clients live, we possess deep local knowledge that will help you make smarter, better informed real estate decisions. Our local brands and reputations depend on consistently delivering high performance for the clients we serve.

Mayfair-International.jpg

MAYFIR INTERNATIONAL: A NETWORK OF LUXURY REAL ESTATE BROKERS

First there was a UK-wide network of the best independent real estate brokers. Founded in 1995, the Mayfair Office has grown to become one of the foremost groups of luxury real estate agents in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

In 2005 this group was expanded to North America. Today Mayfair International Realty members can be found across the globe, bringing sophisticated international real estate marketing to a worldwide community of buyers and investors.

EQUESTRIAN REAL ESTATE

This specialism within the real estate sector requires expert knowledge of equestrian facilities and buyers, especially in the show jumping, eventing, racing and polo sectors. Mayfair International Realty has an influential and talented equestrian real estate team to help all those looking to buy or sell property in this niche market across international boundaries.

GOLF REAL ESTATE

So many buyers moving overseas look for real estate by or close to their favourite golf courses or those that favour their handicaps. Inside knowledge of the real estate market linked to a detailed understanding of the golf scene is the best way to ensure a sound investment and a lower handicap. Mayfair International Realty can advise on just the right broker/agent who will be pleased to introduce buyers to all the options.

HIGH NET WORTH REAL ESTATE

For the wealthiest, most discerning international buyers Mayfair International Realty offers a discreet and highly personal concierge service. Member firms can offer a breathtaking range of outstanding real estate in some of the world’s most exciting and sophisticated locations.

INTERNATIONAL REFERRAL NETWORK

Whether buying or selling real estate, the best way to find the right broker is through good recommendation. The Mayfair International Realty network is as strong as it is because all the members have been well recommended. The very best service to buyers and sellers is to provide the name of a skilled, knowledgeable and sympathetic but uncompromising broker or agent, and this is where Mayfair International Realty excels.

INTERNET MARKETING

Not only does the Mayfair International Realty website itself have a loyal, enthusiastic and ever-growing following across the world, but each day members’ properties are uploaded to the websites of the Financial Times and Country Life. These two sites alone receive thousands of visitors every day and are a valuable addition to the marketing mix of each property being promoted through Mayfair International Realty members.

PRESS RELATION

Mayfair International Realty is one of the leaders in international real estate marketing for luxury homes. Experienced personnel are skilled in making sure that Mayfair International Realty members receive the maximum publicity for their clients' properties. Through highly-developed press relations the Mayfair International Realty marketing team ensures that member firms and their sellers never miss an opportunity to achieve editorial coverage.

REAL ESTATE ADVERTISING

Often different cultures respond to different messages – even though those cultures may share a common language. Also, advertising costs vary widely from country to country. Understanding the nuance of message and the know-how of costs means that Mayfair International Realty members can offer their clients unsurpassed cost-effective international advertising opportunities.

OCEANFRONT REAL ESTATE

Many international real estate buyers seek a waterside location. Whether it is a magnificent ocean front or lakeside home; a riverside fishing cabin; a boating cottage beside a gentle tide-washed creek, or that extra special home with private mooring in an exclusive intracoastal community, the Mayfair International Realty network offers a superb resource for those wishing to buy or sell waterfront property.
