💰 Who benefits from marketing mediocre properties as “ultra-luxury”?
Agents and brokers
They earn higher commissions because the listing price is inflated.
Short-term thinking: the higher the price, the bigger their immediate profit.
Property owners without a real luxury product
They aim to “sell the dream” and justify a high price.
Often, they lack the resources or interest to deliver true luxury standards.
Marketing platforms and portals
Flashy descriptions generate more traffic, inquiries, and engagement.
Important: In the long term, everyone loses — the property’s reputation, the agent’s credibility, and the prestige of the area decline.
