PEOPLE TO WATCH <strong>2019</strong><br />
Luxury Property Hunter<br />
Allison Cahill helps clients define their luxury<br />
<strong>So</strong>metimes, it’s the unique background<br />
that brings the best assets<br />
to a real estate deal, and that’s<br />
exactly the case for Allison Cahill.<br />
Cahill has been in the real estate<br />
industry for nearly seven years, but prior<br />
to her luxury real estate career, she<br />
was a corporate attorney with a focus<br />
in asset protection. Her experience as<br />
a corporate attorney has given her the<br />
skills necessary to negotiate and do<br />
extensive research for the benefit of any<br />
client. “My legal background means that<br />
I bring strong negotiation skills to the<br />
table resulting in my clients walking away<br />
with a financial success,” said Cahill.<br />
In addition to Allison Cahill &<br />
Partners Luxury Properties, she recently<br />
started with Walt Danley Christie’s<br />
International Real Estate, where she<br />
works with a private clientele in purchasing<br />
and selling luxury properties. Cahill<br />
focuses on the real estate needs of<br />
executives, professional athletes, and distinguished<br />
clientele. She offers a discreet,<br />
full service real estate plan for each client,<br />
which includes concierge services.<br />
“We run a full service, concierge<br />
type of business model. For our listings,<br />
this means that all our properties will<br />
have a professional video, drone photography,<br />
high res media, and national<br />
and international marketing on a digital<br />
platform spanning over 1,000 websites.<br />
This starts before the property is on<br />
the MLS,” she explains. “In addition, we<br />
stage all of our listings. We have always<br />
provided this service, but we brought it<br />
up a notch this past year. I started my<br />
own staging business in 2017. I own the<br />
furniture and accessories, meaning that<br />
there are never any issues in regards<br />
to stagers having to lease furniture and<br />
coming up short due to lack of furnishings<br />
in the warehouses or subpar accessories.<br />
We are constantly updating our<br />
staging items to be consistent with the<br />
latest trends.”<br />
Cahill is looking to take all of the<br />
advances she has made in 2018, and<br />
bring them up to the next level in <strong>2019</strong><br />
– even if the housing market becomes<br />
balanced.<br />
“We are still technically in a seller’s<br />
market, but as we begin <strong>2019</strong>, we will<br />
enter into a balanced market,” said<br />
Cahill.<br />
And, the same will be seen in the<br />
luxury market. “One of the biggest<br />
impacts on our luxury market in 2018<br />
were the Federal Tax changes that limit<br />
mortgage interest deductions and property<br />
tax deduction. As the newer limits on<br />
mortgage interest deduction and property<br />
taxes have had an impact on many<br />
luxury markets across the United States,<br />
I predict that this can only help The<br />
Valley’s luxury market in that our property<br />
taxes are considerably lower here than<br />
other cities. This has already created an<br />
influx of luxury buyers from California and<br />
Chicago.”<br />
