Luxury property specialist Unique Living has signed an agreement with Lead Galaxy that will see the two companies form a strategic partnership to tackle the lucrative prestige sector of the international property market.

For the past decade, Unique Living has been sourcing villas, chalets, estates and other luxury property for clients across Europe, as well as working directly for owners to sell high value property in popular destinations such as the French Riviera, Costa del Sol, Tuscany, Cyprus, the Algarve, Ibiza and Mallorca.

The deal will allow Unique Living to showcase its portfolio of more than a thousand luxury real estate listings on the Lead Galaxy portal network, with dedicated sections to be created for the high value properties on TheMoveChannel.com, HomesGoFast.com and other participating sites.

Owners of prestige residences around the world will be able to market their property for sale to an international base of high net worth buyers using a new commission-based service, branded as The Unique Collection. The service will pair up the online reach and database marketing skills of Lead Galaxy with the client base and international local partner network of Unique Living, to give owners the best possible chance of selling their home.

Serge Cowan, co-founder of Unique Living expects the deal to help Unique Living extend into new geographical territories: “We can see already how the global reach of the Lead Galaxy network is going to help us tap into a rich supply of high net worth vendors from around the world.  Unusual, one-off properties at the top end of the market are often sold internationally and this service gives owners a way to reach a much wider audience than is possible by working solely with a local agent, we will also continue to service clients looking in the destinations we currently operate and this partnership will help stamp home our message as a market leader in luxury real estate .”

Lead Galaxy director Dan Johnson said: “This is a great opportunity for both companies to focus on our core skills. Our web development, online distribution and email marketing expertise will remove much of the operational burden from the Unique Living team, allowing them to focus on developing the local partner network and servicing the client base.”

Estate planning is very inexpensive and very quick to do, and yet it is neglected by private practice physical therapists. Why do many leave chaos behind for their survivors?

“Many private practice physical therapists work long hours in their practice to achieve a higher quality life and invest a lot of time into planning for future prosperity.  One would think that they would finish the process by doing effective estate planning. The reality is that many private practice professionals fail to pursue estate planning despite the fact that it is easy to do,” says P. Christopher Music, author of What Every Private Practice Physical Therapist Needs to Know About His or Her Financial Future.

Music discusses the importance of estate planning for private practice professionals in What Every Private Practice Physical Therapist Needs to Know About His or Her Financial Future and he emphasizes the fact that once income and assets have been accumulated, it is necessary to plan them out in the event of death, illness, incapacitation, or other factors that prevent income and asset management.  Effective estate planning ensures that there are legal instructions in place to take care of the spouse, kids, business partners, employees, and others that are dependent upon the income of a physical therapist.

Estate planning involves making up a last will and testament, designating a durable power of attorney for healthcare decisions, a living will, and durable power of attorney for financial and legal matters.  Without putting these elements in place, the people who are designated to take over will be required to go to the courts to obtain permission to take care of all of these things.

According to P. Christopher Music, estate planning is very inexpensive and easy to do, yet it is the most neglected part of a private professional’s income and assets.  Music says he has seen the aftermath that is left for the survivors due to lack of estate planning by private practice physical therapists and it creates the worst havoc for survivors more than anything he has seen.

About P. Christopher Music:
After 18-plus years of being a financial planner, P. Christopher Music decided there had to be a better way. Witnessing financial debacles of big industry and government-driven economies caused Christopher to take action, developing an instrument that measures the success of any financial plan. The Financial Prosperity IndexTM (FPI) is the back bone of Music’s firm, Wealth Advisory Associates (WAA). WAA is a financial planning firm focused on helping private-practice physical therapists understand and implement the most effective strategies to achieving financial success and security.

The continually growing strength which Playa del Carmen real estate gains from its diversified tourism industry is taking another step forward with the announcement of the first Meeting Place Riviera Maya. Because Meeting Place is a significant international business tourism company, the Playa del Carmen tourism industry will gain considerable strength in the area of conventions, and in turn, Playa del Carmen property investments geared toward tourism.

Meeting Place is a forum aimed at boosting congress and convention tourism. The agreement to make Playa del Carmen the host of this event took place on May 28 at the Hotel Palace Playacar, and the first Meeting Place Riviera Maya will be held from November 7 to 9 at Aventura Palace Hotel, where between 150 and 200 meeting planners will meet, representing a potential of over 250 events a year, with an investment of more than $ 65 million U.S.

Meeting Place has 25 years experience in “doing business with business” and Playa del Carmen is thus strengthening one of the most important tourism market niches, which is business convention tourism, adding to the already strong tourism in weddings and honeymoons, golf and spa, among others. Playa del Carmen has excellent potential for growth in this area, offering 25 million square feet of space for this kind of event, allowing high quality service to those attending the meetings.

For real estate buyers, this new move on the part of Playa del Carmen means that the already thriving tourism industry will boost during the low season. This means that the area will draw further investment, bringing even more services, more real estate development. As interest in renting and owning property continues to grow, opportunities will open for investment in real estate; Playa del Carmen MLS listings already include many properties ideal for this purpose, such as Playa del Carmen beachfront condos, a property type with high potential for vacation rental income.

The company, Avanti Meetings and Incentives, is one of the most prestigious exhibition organizers in business meetings tourism, with events such as Meeting Place Mexico, Vancouver, Quebec City and Montreal.

Americans or Canadians looking for an excellent real estate investment possibility should consider Villas Tranquilidad, a Mexico homes development in a new community in Playa del Carmen. These villas are currently being sold for a price lower than the future value the community promises, showing potential for both re-sale profit and rental income.

These Playa del Carmen homes are located in the new community of El Cielo, which is 10 minutes north of central Playa del Carmen, just past the MayaKoba PGA golf course. Currently only 2 developments exist in El Cielo, one of them being Villas Tranquilidad. Because the conveniences which are planned for the community have not yet been constructed the price of Villas Tranquilidad is lower than the expected future value of homes in the community.

The services which El Cielo will offer include a commercial shopping area along the highway side of the property, at the entrance. In the middle of the property there will be residential development, including Villas Tranquilidad, which is located about half a mile from the beach. After the residential area will be the future extension of the new Fifth Avenue, offering shops, cafes and stores. Past Fifth Avenue El Cielo’s condo and hotel area will be located directly on the beachfront. A bike trail, which has already been constructed, runs through the community. El Cielo targets high-end residential and commercial developers.

Villas Tranquilidad, conveniently located within walking distance from the beachfront, but far enough away for peace and quiet. The 6 villas are 3 storeys each, with an elegant contemporary design. They include mini-split air-conditioners in each room, as well as ceiling fans. Each villas has a private yard, and the 6 share a common green space with a pool and a “palapa” (a Mayan-style thatched roof) shade area.

The already low price of $260,000 is made more accessible through a 25% pre-construction discount, for a price of $195,000. Financing options, including mortgages through Mexican bank institutions, which will finance up to 75% of the pre-discount price at fairly low interest rates (6.5%), and short-term seller financing, which also offers competitive rates.

For investors, these options make the purchase very manageable financially. The high-quality services and ongoing development of the community promise a higher future value, as well as good potential for vacation rentals, once these services are in place.

Avanta has found the perfect way to start the new financial year in India by hosting a high tea event for all clients at its Statesman House business centre in New Delhi.  The event celebrated the announcement that the centre has now reached 75% occupancy following an intensive marketing campaign across the Middle East.

“We ended 2009 with 70% occupancy in New Delhi,” comments David Alberto, Avanta’s managing director, “And following a series of special offers and strategic marketing, which includes Google AdWords campaigns specifically targeting Malaysia and Singapore, we have received a number of enquires with the first clients ready to move in.

“We recently hosted a week long training session for the European Commission Director General for Humanitarian Aid which was attended by members from across the South Asia region.   This follows the international business community increasingly focussing on India as a high growth area.

“Overall, we are in buoyant mood following increased occupancy in New Delhi and the recent expansion of our Devonshire Square centre in the City of London, where we pre-let 50% of available space even before it was open. In addition, Avanta has ongoing plans for further overseas investment and we remain committed to India and the US, via our alliance with Regent Business Centers, and we are currently negotiating a number of joint ventures in the Middle East.”
