Steeped in centuries of Scottish history and golfing tradition, East Lothian is blessed with heather-clad hills and unspoilt beaches, grand estates and ruined cliff-top castles. It is also home to some of the world’s finest and most challenging golf courses. Among the, the newly completed exclusive golf course and luxury homes at The Renaissance Club.

The Links at Renaissance

Construction is now commencing on these luxury homes in The Renaissance Club. Please contact me if you are interested in further information

Set within the grounds of Scotland’s most prestigious new golf club, The Links at Renaissance is the rarest of property opportunities. Four premium homes of exceptional quality and desirability, adjoining Tom Doak’s acclaimed new course at The Renaissance Club, East Lothian.

 

 Bordered by the Duke of Hamilton’s estates to the south and the legendary Muirfield Golf Club to the west, The Links at Renaissance offers a privileged few the opportunity to live in truly select golfing company, only 30 minutes from Edinburgh city and airport.

The Links at Renaissance is a strictly limited investment and lifestyle opportunity which comes complete with a Membership Bond for The Renaissance Club.

The Renaissance Clubis the latest link in a stunning chain of superb courses which stretches along the sand dunes of the magnificent Firth of Forth, from Gullane and Luffness in the west, past Muirfield, to North Berwick in the east.

The Renaissance directly abuts historic Muirfield Golf Club – the two eighteens share an ancient stone-wall border – but in every other respect it boasts its own unique character. Bearing the minimalist hallmark of its renowned American Golf Course architect, Tom Doak, it’s a 7,435-yard course which makes the most of its natural heath land and forest setting to offer a thrilling game, with views to match.

From The Renaissance, it is just 30 minutes by car to the historic and vibrant centre of Edinburgh. Home to the world’s largest international arts festival, Edinburgh offers a rich, year-round programme of theatre, opera, music and film. It also boats world-class museums and galleries, and top class restaurants, bars and shops.

East Lothian continues to witness some of the fastest growth in regional property prices – particularly at the high-end where demand for premium properties within easy reach of Edinburgh far exceeds supply.

The Links at Renaissance offers a rare, and strictly limited, investment opportunity – not to mention a truly enviable golfing lifestyle.

 Homes for sale in Stuart, Sewall’s Point, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Hutchinson Island, Port Saint Lucie and Jensen Beach Indian River Drive and Hutchinson Island, Ken Duncan realtor and Real Estate of Florida our real estate includes condos, single-family homes, gated communities and golf and tennis country clubs. If you are looking for or selling a permanent home, an investment property or a seasonal condo in a country club, this is the place to start.

Selling a home in the Martin County or Port St Lucie area for the first time can be just as troubling and just as difficult as purchasing a new home. While the experienced real estate investor may or may not have a regular realtor and enough experience to make the process easier to live with, it is never actually easy. For anybody who does not buy and sell real estate on a regular basis, care should be taken not to fall into any common traps. We can help you price your Port St Lucie or Martin County home by supplying you with an up to date market analysis of properties in your area that are on the market or that have just sold. While the real estate can be prepared to whatever extent the current homeowner wishes, better prepping will often lead to faster home sales for more money

In reality, those real estate shows are really fake

In reality, those real estate shows are really fake

CHICAGO – Dec. 10, 2009 – Flip on your television and tune into HGTV’s “House Hunters” and you might see yet another set of Chicago homebuyers and a local real estate agent in action.

Homes for sale in Stuart, Sewall’s Point, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Hutchinson Island, Port Saint Lucie and Jensen Beach Indian River Drive and Hutchinson Island,Ken Duncan realtor and Real Estate of Florida our real estate includes condos, single-family homes, gated communities and golf and tennis country clubs. If you are looking for a permanent home, an investment property or a seasonal condo in a country club, this is the place to start.

The popular cable TV program seems to like the local real estate market; it’s certainly been featured before. And with every show, another buyer and agent learn the skinny about what’s real and unreal on reality television.

“House Hunters” is one of those programs you can stumble across and then find yourself sitting down to watch, critiquing the three different properties being shown and the buyer’s tastes, and then guessing which one they’ll pick. It also provides a sense of property values in a given locale, as in “look how much more/less house we can get if we moved somewhere else.”

So hearing the behind-the-scenes details of several episodes that have been filmed here recently is a bit like pulling back the curtain to reveal the real Wizard of Oz.

If you are looking for a permanent home, an investment property or a seasonal condo in a country club, this is the place to start.

A few months ago while they were looking for another set of homebuyers, the show’s producers stumbled across the blog of Chicago Realtor Eric Rojas (score another one for social marketing) and asked if he had a willing buyer.

He did. But Chicagoans Kurt and Kelly Schnakenberg had to be more than willing to appear on television. They had to have the financial wherewithal to actually close on a home, and they had to have the right personalities for the show, something they demonstrated in a videotape sent to the producers.

Rojas, meanwhile, had to fill out a questionnaire about how he does business.

If you are looking for a permanent home, an investment property or a seasonal condo in a country club, this is the place to start.

For the show, the couple looked at three properties in Lakeview: a $415,000 loft, a $355,000 vintage condo with a kitchen that needed work and a $400,000 loft-style town house that needed updating.

Of those three, one of them was the unit the couple did indeed purchase in March. Another one was under contract to someone else so the listing agent had no problem showing it. The third unit was for sale, but the couple had never seen it before and had pretty much already made up their mind.

The conversations aren’t the same, either. Kurt Schnakenberg said he and his wife did debate the merits of various condos but it was never so serious and “usually over a bottle of wine.”

Chicago agent Carrie Georgitsis, who showed properties to her father for a different episode, had no idea how tiring it would be until she found herself involved in 40 hours of filming for what amounts to less than 25 minutes of programming. She found herself having to say the same things over and over, while the camera crew shot her conversations with her father from different angles, and had to be careful not to tip off viewers to which property was chosen.

Why can’t it be more real than it is? Here’s three good reasons: One, it’s a TV show and it’s meant to be entertaining. If it turned out that the buyers had bad credit and couldn’t close on a home, there’d be no happy ending and no “after” shot showing the new homeowners in their abode.

Two, sellers – and homeowners associations – have to agree to the filming and some don’t want to be bothered or don’t want to deal with the legal ramifications if a crew member gets hurt during filming. And three, if the buyers and the real estate agent are totally unlikable and mumble, do you want to watch them buy a house?

Rojas doesn’t think so.

“‘House Hunters’ is house candy,” Rojas said. “It’s not realistic. It’s directed. You don’t learn anything about buying. You learn about real estate values. You learn about how houses look.”

Despite all that, agents who’ve done it say they still watch the show, and they’d go back on it again. After all, it’s great marketing exposure, particularly because programs are repeated.

“It’s totally fake, but does anybody think reality TV is real? It’s all canned, but it’s fun to watch,” said real estate agent Karl Vogel, who also was featured in a recent episode helping a Boston native find a home in Chicago. “Who can say they don’t like to be on television, except you look fat?”

The Schnakenbergs, who’d never before seen the show, already plan to capitalize on their upcoming 30 minutes of fame when it comes time to sell their condo. “Listing it ‘as seen on HGTV’ couldn’t hurt us,” Kurt Schnakenberg said. “I’m not sure if it will get us more money, but it will help us get more showings.”
