“Being affiliated with Christies International<br />
Real Estate has been invaluable<br />
to my business. I really appreciate the<br />

their agents through the Extranet <strong>and</strong><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 />

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 />

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 />

WE’RE CHANGING THE WAY<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 />

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 />

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.
