Rob Thomson, managing partner at Palm Beach County’s exclusive real estate firm of Waterfront Properties and Club Communities offers strong ties and marketing relationships with leading brokers in the Europe, the United Kingdom, Asia and Latin America.  These global connections have consistently lead to home sales from international buyers.Thomson’s membership into the invitation only Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate, as well as sitting on the executive board, has enabled him and his expert team of professionals, market homes for clients to a worldwide audience.  Thomson, along with manager David Abernathy, has been forward thinking on real estate technology.  This foresight has enabled Waterfront Properties to become the accomplished and highly sought after firm that it is.Respected relationships with other leading brokers nationally and internationally are imperative to satisfying discerning clientele.  At the recent Monte Carlo symposium of Who’s Who, Thomson met Edgar Van Schaik.  Schaik, is director if Swiss-based Rockefeller Estates, whose affluent clientele enjoy access to an exclusive lifestyle.  They immediately clicked, and though separated by thousands of miles, they have developed a trusted international working relationship.Debbie Fisher, Handsome Properties, is a Charleston South Carolina-based member of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate dealing in luxury coastal properties.  She and Thomson met in Valencia, Spain at a real estate conference and noticed parallels in their markets.  Drawing on their similarities, they connected, and share organizational strengths, website design, and marketing ideas.  As confidential friends and brokers within this global network, they are always able to best serve their clients.Perhaps one of the strongest advantages Waterfront Properties has is its direct partnership with London based Mayfair International Realty.  Waterfront Properties has been in direct partnership Mayfair since 2005 and effectively marketing our listings internationally since then.  Nick Churton, managing director at Mayfair says, “We are really Rob’s firm in Europe.  We have created a resource for them to reach a market they would not normally have reached.  It was great to have Rob here in London this January in our office to discuss the market in Florida.”  Churton also noted his Mayfair office reaches out directly to media sources from the United Kingdom to Singapore – conveying available homes from Waterfront Properties.  “Rob had the foresight to work with us, and it is our job to show how we can expose this property to a broad audience,” Churton says.  “What we do is give it added value, added exposure, added opportunity for the sellers.”For Thomson and his entire Waterfront Properties and Club Communities team, bridging the gap between counties, by having a “global network” of trusted colleagues has been one of the most instrumental tools in ensuring a thoroughly pleased client.
