“Being affiliated with Christies International<br />

Real Estate has been invaluable<br />

to my business. I really appreciate the<br />

their conferences. Their statistical information<br />

is powerful <strong>and</strong> illustrates to<br />

clients that Christie’s is the only true<br />

luxury option.<br />

I try to attend all CIRE conferences<br />

to keep me informed <strong>and</strong> prepared<br />

for the future of the global luxury real<br />

estate market. At a conference in New<br />

York City in 2013, I attended a lecture<br />

given by Elizabeth Harrington on<br />

the Chinese purchasing in the North<br />

American real estate market. Today<br />

China is a huge focus of my business<br />

<strong>and</strong> the education I received through<br />

Christie’s really prepared me to succeed<br />

with this segment of the market.<br />

A STORY OF CONTINUED GROWTH<br />

<strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Real Estate Limited was established in 1990 <strong>and</strong> opened its first<br />

office in Toronto, Canada with 5 real estate agents. By the year 2000 the <strong>Chestnut</strong><br />

<strong>Park</strong> sales team had grown to over 250 agents.<br />

In 2008 <strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> opened offices in two more major Ontario luxury<br />

recreational <strong>and</strong> home markets: Collingwood <strong>and</strong> Prince Edward County.<br />

IN 2011 OUR AFFILIATION WITH CHRISTIE’S INTERNATIONAL REAL<br />

ESTATE WAS FORMED, ELEVATING THE CHESTNUT PARK BRAND<br />

FURTHER TO THE FOREFRONT OF THE ONTARIO LUXURY MARKET.<br />

By establishing office locations in the most desirable luxury <strong>and</strong> recreational<br />

markets in Ontario, we’re able to serve a wide range of clients looking to buy <strong>and</strong><br />

sell both primary <strong>and</strong> secondary residences across the province. <strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> now<br />

has a sales team of 293 agents <strong>and</strong> a presence in 15 of the hottest town <strong>and</strong> country<br />

locations across Southern Ontario.<br />

<strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> was pleased to announce the opening of the new Wiarton Office, October 2015

THE KEY COMPONENT TO OUR 2015 MARKETING STRATEGY WAS TO ELEVATE<br />

THE CHESTNUT PARK BRAND THROUGH HARNESSING AND HIGHLIGHTING OUR<br />

AFFILIATION WITH CHRISTIE’S WHEREVER POSSIBLE.<br />

<strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong>’s flagship Toronto office outdoor signage<br />

Under the leadership of the Director of Marketing, <strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> seamlessly integrated the<br />

Christie’s br<strong>and</strong> into all facets of our marketing <strong>and</strong> br<strong>and</strong>ing initiatives with our leadership team<br />

confident of the immense <strong>and</strong> far reaching impact of having the Christie’s br<strong>and</strong> so closely<br />

associated with our brokerage. This application of Christie’s distinguished reputation enabled<br />

<strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> to exp<strong>and</strong> our br<strong>and</strong> awareness, recruit new agents, <strong>and</strong> increase our volume of<br />

sales. Christie’s prestigious influence was infused into all of our marketing initiatives.<br />

2014<br />

2015<br />

We feel we have enhanced our br<strong>and</strong> by the addition of the Christie’s nameplate to our logo. This<br />

dual logo is now featured prominently on our business cards, corporate website, bespoke listing<br />

brochures, outdoor back-lit signage, internal corporate communications, agent’s personal br<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

sites, <strong>and</strong> all client-facing material. In 2015, the decision was made that the <strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> logo<br />

could not be featured without the Christie’s nameplate alongside it. We appreciate that our high net<br />

worth clients feel gratified knowing that we are associated with one of the most well established <strong>and</strong><br />

respected luxury br<strong>and</strong>s in the world.<br />

WE’RE CHANGING THE WAY<br />

YOU SEE REAL ESTATE<br />

“We have seen the successful implementation<br />

of this technology for companies<br />

like IKEA <strong>and</strong> Lego, <strong>and</strong> we believe it<br />

is an application that is perfect for real<br />

estate. We believe AR will further differentiate<br />

us in the marketplace.”<br />

What if you could combine a print ad with a digital<br />

component that transports a viewer to an interactive,<br />

multi-sensory experience? Elevating viewers to the virtual<br />

world is what Augmented Reality brings to the consumer<br />

experience, <strong>and</strong> its result engages buyers <strong>and</strong> sellers in<br />

ways previously unheard of.<br />

In 2015 <strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> became the first Ontario real estate<br />

brokerage to use the cutting edge marketing technology called<br />

Augmented Reality (AR). Already popular in Europe <strong>and</strong><br />

the United States with big br<strong>and</strong>s like IKEA <strong>and</strong> Lego, this<br />

technology is relatively new to the Canadian marketplace.<br />

CPRE’s innovative use of AR attracted attention not only in<br />

the Ontario real estate market place but from respected media<br />

outlets like Real Estate Magazine <strong>and</strong> Marketing Magazine.<br />

CPRE CHOSE TO USE AR TO HIGHLIGHT ITS<br />

RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRISTIE’S ON THE COVER<br />

A complete digital strategy was implemented in the roll<br />

THE LUXURY DEFINED REPORT<br />

THE LUXURY DEFINED REPORT BY CHRISTIE’S INTERNATIONAL REAL<br />

ESTATE, RELEASED IN 2015 PROMINENTLY HIGHLIGHTED TWO OF<br />

CHESTNUT PARK’S MARKET AREAS.<br />

The report named Toronto the world’s fastest growing luxury homes market in the<br />

world. Muskoka, Ontario was named as having the highest year on year growth<br />

in the weekender recreational luxury homes market in the world at 66%. These<br />

findings lead to an explosion of national <strong>and</strong> international media coverage. Muskoka<br />

was quickly dubbed “The Hampton’s Of the North” by the media <strong>and</strong> <strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />

enjoyed the frenzy of coverage <strong>and</strong> property features.<br />

TORONTO<br />

WEEKENDER MARKET<br />

Despite being ranked tenth in the Luxury Index, Toronto’s market was red hot in<br />

2014, giving rise to its number-one position in the Luxury Temperature category.<br />

Toronto’s market strength was fueled by overall increases in home prices <strong>and</strong> incredible<br />

velocity in sales.*<br />

MUSKOKA FEATURE<br />

In 2014 Muskoka saw a marked increase in sales of luxury homes, especially in the<br />

$2 million-plus range, which skyrocketed by 66 percent over 2013. “The jump in<br />

luxury sales volumes does not necessarily show that average sale prices increased,<br />

but does indicate that buyers had an appetite for more expensive recreational<br />

properties—something that has not occurred since before the recession of 2008,”<br />

notes Justine Deluce of <strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Real Estate Limited.*<br />

THE LUXURY DEFINED REPORT BRINGS A MEDIA SPOTLIGHT TO TORONTO AND MUSKOKA


LEVERAGING THE CHRISTIE’S APPROACH<br />

Inspired by the town, country <strong>and</strong> lifestyle approach of Christie’s International Real Estate<br />

magazine <strong>and</strong> the Luxury Defined blog, <strong>Chestnut</strong> <strong>Park</strong> chose to leverage this approach when<br />

launching the Invest In Style Magazine in 2015.
