When does a home shift from “luxury” to “ultra-luxury,” and why does that distinction matter significantly to your bottom line? The high-end real estate market is often viewed as a monolith, but the strategies required to navigate the stratosphere of ultra-luxury properties are vastly different from standard luxury transactions. From marketing reach to negotiation psychology, understanding these nuances is critical for buyers and sellers looking to protect their assets.

In this episode, we sit down with Tony Fink, Senior Listing and Buyers Expert with Linda Craft REALTORS, to dissect these differences. Tony brings years of experience navigating the complex landscape of high-value properties. He walks us through exactly what clients should expect when stepping into the ultra-luxury arena and the specific hurdles that often trip up the unprepared.

We also introduce a pivotal evolution in the industry: the RFA (Real Estate Financial Advisor). As real estate holdings comprise a massive percentage of personal net worth, the role of an agent is shifting from a transactional facilitator to a strategic wealth partner. We discuss why you don’t just need a Realtor anymore—you need an RFA who understands the financial implications of your portfolio.

Don’t miss this deep dive into the upper echelon of real estate. Whether you are an investor, a homeowner, or an industry professional, this conversation will change how you view high-end real estate representation.

This week on Real Estate Right Now we’re going to talk about something every homeowner eventually faces but almost nobody plans for: what do you do with a lifetime of “stuff” when it’s time to move on? My guest is Gavin Martin, Owner and CEO of Grandma’s Basement Estate Sales & Services, a veteran-owned company right here in North Carolina that specializes in estate sales, cleanouts, antiques, and vintage furniture. Gavin went from the U.S. Army to corporate life to turning his passion for finding hidden treasures into a full-time business helping families downsize, declutter, and uncover value in what’s been sitting in the attic, garage, or yes… grandma’s basement.

We’re going to dig into the real estate side of estate sales: how do you time a sale when you’re listing a home? What should you sell, donate, or toss—and in what order? How can a smart estate sale and professional cleanout actually increase your home’s appeal and bottom line when it hits the market? Gavin will walk us through the process step-by-step, share the biggest mistakes he sees sellers make, and give you practical tips for turning “old stuff” into extra cash that can help with your next chapter, whether that’s upsizing, downsizing, or relocating across the country.

And of course, we’re going to talk about the emotional side—because these aren’t just objects, they’re memories. Gavin will share stories of how he helps families honor those memories while still moving forward, and how bringing in a pro can take the stress, conflict, and overwhelm out of an already stressful move. So join us live tomorrow at 9am Eastern for Real Estate Right Now—watch the show, jump in with your questions, and if you can’t catch it live, make sure you listen or watch the replay.
