Real Estate News around New Canaan

Sales agents from William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty New Canaan brokerage recently attended the East Meets West Manhattan Luxury Real Estate Connect conference sponsored by the Asian Real Estate Association of America.

The all-day event held on Nov. 2 at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City, covered various global real estate topics including the rise of Asian economies, and in turn, Asian investors, and how this impacts the current luxury market. New Canaan agents Leslie Razook and Inger Stringfellow attended the conference with client, Linda Xu.

“Participating in this event was a tremendously interesting and useful experience,” said Razook. “The quality of speakers and topics were exceptional, and it was truly helpful to gain insights into how to be of greatest assistance to clients from this emerging luxury market.”

“I am thrilled with my experience at this year’s East Meets West conference,” Stringfellow said. “In the past few years, I’ve seen firsthand the increase in interest in luxury investments from clients overseas. I loved seeing the facts from our brand’s Wealth-X report come to life, and I encourage others whom this may interest to attend in the future.”
