SPRUCE CREEK, FL - KARLHAUS LLC, parent company of Karlhaus Realty at Spruce Creek has announced its expansion into the Orlando and Central Florida markets.

With the market expansion, Karlhaus joined the My Florida Regional MLS, offering its listings the additional exposure to several million affluent buyers and agents throughout Florida.

"Orlando's market was a natural expansion for our business to capitalize on our model and the large number of very affluent foreign customers we have from Europe, Canada and Latin America." said Carlos Bravo, CEO of Karlhaus. "We are basically responding to demand and positioning the company to a gradual expansion and eventual franchising of the concept".

The economic depression that has enveloped the US Real estate market has presented pockets of opportunity to wealthy buyers from the US and abroad which Karlhaus has been wildly successful in reaching.

Over 85% of Karlhaus Realty's sales are cash deals.

" Due to our agreement with My Florida Regional MLS, our listings will also appear on thousands of our fellow real estate agents websites all across Florida." said Bravo
Bravo has been a private investor for over 20 years and offers a unique perspective to his clients. Being an investor and developer, his real estate and finance knowledge is crucial in getting the best negotiated deals for them, earning a cult-like following.

In regards to Foreign buyers, Bravo added that "Customers are comfortable with Karlhaus due to our ability to speak in their native language and demonstrated understanding of their cultures. Karlhaus agents speak six languages and most have lived all over the world bringing a unmatched cultural perspective in the sales of high-end properties." "Our presence is truly global".

Already two large chains have made approaches to acquire Karlhaus Realty, an option that is not on the table at this time according to Bravo.

Bravo is a serial entrepreneur, cofounder and senior executive of a wildly successful "dot com" that he and his partners took public in 1999 and which grew to 1,300 employees and a multi-billion dollar valuation.

"After we come into a market, we gain leadership within a few months; By the time we gain market control, stagnant players are left perplexed not knowing what hit them" Bravo commented about his market strategies.

Karlhaus success is in stark contrast to other real estate agencies throughout Florida which have seen their sales stagnate. "Our neighbors keep hearing excuses from agents that their homes do not sell due to the bad economy, yet our own sales are skyrocketing! - you go figure". Bravo explains that their unique technology-based and corporate-style professional approach to real estate marketing is unmatched anywhere in Florida and takes from his long experience in the internet business and his professional background as CEO and marketing executive at Fortune 500 companies.

SPRUCE CREEK FLY-IN - Karlhaus Realty reported that Spruce Creek's Super Agent Carlos Bravo attained a new historical record of multi-million dollar transactions with the sale of several Hangar Homes, Nature Homes and Condo Homes at the fly-in - all within the same week!. The new happy owners have made Spruce Creek Fly-In their home and look forward to settling in the world's most famous residential airpark. Carlos recently had attained number one ranking in sold residential transactions in the whole area's Realtor® Board, comprised of over 1,300 real estate professionals. When asked how he accomplishes such feats, especially considering we are in a severe economic depression and given the fact that a large number of local agents are unable to make any sales at all, Bravo said: "It really is not that hard, after 30 years of real-world professional marketing and negotiating experience coupled with Karlhaus' three priorities in business: Our Clients, Our Clients, Our Clients."

In addition being a sought after corporate advisor in Boards of public companies, Bravo's other businesses encompass Real Estate Development, Investments and Information Technology but the Realty side has always had a special part in his heart. He indicates that he draws the most personal pleasure at making an advantageous deal happen to his clients. He chuckles at the nickname he was given by his competitors: "The Shark".

"We take it as a compliment" he says. Bravo adds that "No one works harder and more effectively than Karlhaus, and the results speak for themselves." "On the marketing side, our internet technologies alone are generations ahead of the competition, our properties are marketed on a global basis utilizing proprietary complex algorithms and syndication techniques never seen before in this business". "and when those customers call, say from Europe or South America, we usually can speak in their native language - how cool is that!"

Advertising is not about interrupting what people are interested in; its art lies in providing what people are interested in. We believe in engaging, powerful presentations that awakens interest and desire. We turn potential buyers into actual buyers as a byproduct. We gain a lifetime of trust as the end result.

Carlos Bravo is our CEO. He’s a man who likes controversy and loves inspiration. He hates the words "but", "don't" and "can't" and has little patience for those that utter them; unless, of course, they are a competitor...

We know which way the market is going, we spot trends before they become trends. By the time the trend is evident, we are well positioned. This simple formula is the basis of marketing strategy.

While stagnant traditional real estate companies sit perplexed over why a property they list does not sell (and their customers grow frustrated accordingly) they too often point solely at price. We look at positioning and promotion and on extricating the best features and matching those to the needs of a buyer.

Carlos's professional technology and marketing career has taken him around the globe over the past 30 years. The various companies he had a hand in founding and growing today provide employment to thousands of families and produce some of the most innovative products and services in the world.

Engaging, Compelling
and Original
Ideas that Get Attention...

This is no rocket science (although we do have a card-carrying rocket scientist on staff...) this is second nature to any true marketing professional.

We make sense of the chaos in a world of hyper-abundant information and constant innovation.

so much choice so little time...

Niche marketing is an attempt at speaking to today's highly fragmented consumer base in a way they find meaningful and engaging. For marketers looking to make deep connections with select groups of people, there are countless market segments, defined not only by traditional demographics (age, gender, income, etc.) but also by increasingly nuanced and insistent product preferences.

Sorting through the needs and wants of a customer and matching those to an ideal property is our art. In this regard, we have the strongest magic in town.

Creativity in Communication

Today, people are empowered, they demand creativity in communication. Karlhaus Realty's creative department has the talent and technology to generate effective ads in any media. From our branding strategies to positioning and promotion approaches, the marketing brainpower at Karlhaus ensures your property gets the attention it deserves. It is no surprise that Karlhaus Clients always attain the best terms. Not sure? ask any of them!

Karlhaus knows the most effective and efficient ways to reach customers at a time when the Internet continues to change our lives and traditional media isn’t enough to change opinions or attract a buyer.

Social Networks

Online social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace are now frequented by tens of millions, half of whom are over 35. Karlhaus knows how to use these communities to your advantage, especially during rough times. Social media amplifies and accelerates word-of-mouth marketing (WOMM) and creates a new force -digital influence- that has the power to attract customers.

Print Media Advertising

Karlhaus produces the best brochures and flyers in the business, period. From staging the property in its best light to the creative use of professional photography, digital imaging and production design, our capabilities are unmatched. The end result is a presentation of quality fitting the attention your property deserves. Our professionally printed rich, glossy brochures are so prized, they become collectors items to our clients. Some even frame them!

Here is a sampling of our past print ads:

SPRUCE CREEK - Karlhaus Realty has announced a new record in selling properties. The fledging and dynamic company has entered under contract a total of thirteen properties in less than two weeks. The fast pace of sales is attributed to Karlhaus' internet-based business model with a reach several orders of magnitude greater than any other real estate company in the area.

Karlhaus CEO, Carlos Bravo said that they have been receiving a large amount of calls from potential customers from as far away as Moscow, Russia (formerly the USSR). Bravo indicated that he is actively searching for additional agents to join the fast-paced realty based at the world famous Spruce Creek Fly-In. "The key skills we look for are, above all: sheer intelligence as well as professionalism, integrity, knowledge and a passion for the business" Bravo added that "all agents joining Karlhaus must be well versed in computer technology as most of our transactions are paperless and take part putting together parties across vast distances.".

He explained that the hours are long, customers are extremely demanding (as they should be), and the problems being addressed are never easy to solve ("if they were, they would not need to call us..."). "For us, though, this environment is energizing and extremely exciting, and we embrace the challenges with all the intellect and experience at our disposal", Bravo said. He added that the rewards are unlimited as the commission structure is more generous than any other in the area.

When asked how can his realty enjoy such success when so many experienced real estate companies are being forced out of the business due to the current economy, Bravo responded: "Our record was accomplished against entrenched competition with a 20-year lead, but which have fallen asleep at the wheel, lost and confused in today's world of internet and global marketing and not understanding that today's buyer is much more educated and savvy than before. The days of placing a property on the local MLS and passing business cards to the ladies at church or the buddies at the club as a total marketing strategy are over."

"Being an investor and developer that actually has put his own skin in many deals, I approach this quite a bit different from the rest of the agencies here at the Fly-in. "

Bravo, also a private investor and former Management Consultant to some of the largest corporations in the US, said that he modeled Karlhaus in part using the same strategies as his previous business which went public in 1999 and grew to a market valuation of $6 Billion and 1,300 employees.

"I have a professional marketing background with a high-tech engineering foundation and am applying the same concepts I did during my old Management Consulting days when Fortune 500 companies hired my company to provide solid advice and marketing strategies. My competition included the likes of Andersen Consulting, Deloitte-Touche and Price-Waterhouse." Bravo said.

"Further, while other agencies photograph their listings with "Wal-Mart-style" digital cameras, we utilize professional quality photography, while our competitors provide handouts to customers directly from a copy machine, we generate high-quality glossy brochures as fit reflection of the presentation our high-end properties deserve. Our listings have interactive maps and virtual views, where a potential buyer can actually see and feel as if driving by the property from the comfort of their homes."

"Our web site is the most comprehensive source of listings information in the area. Our own competitors routinely use it to find out what's available! (we know, we track IP addresses...). Our photography is so well regarded that in a recent instance we have had to photograph a competitor's listing to send to a client of ours only to find out the competitor later lifted our photos without our permission and used them to promote their own listing!"

"How embarrassing is that?..." Bravo added.

Karlhaus also was selected by Coldwell Banker REO Services as one of a select group of exclusive real Estate Companies experienced in handling Bank-Owned asset dispositions directly. To that effect, Karlhaus Realty created a division, Karlhaus REO which exclusively works with buyers and sellers of foreclosures, REO's and similar special-circumstance properties. For more information see REO Services with Karlhaus Realty.

The Rules Have Changed

The Internet has become the hunting grounds for savvy buyers, and KARLHAUS REALTY has positioned itself at the forefront of this technology to capitalize on this trend.

Old style marketing just doesn't cut it in the new world of real estate. The days of taking a listing, entering it in the local MLS, running a few ads in the paper and sit and wait for a buyer to come bring you a contract are over. In this new world, terms like SEO, Viral Marketing, and Web 2.0 are a foreign language to traditional old-style real estate companies. But these are key technologies that provide the needed worldwide exposure to put together Buyers and Sellers in today’s market.

While other real estate companies pretend these trends are not there, and stagnate along with their frustrated customers, KARLHAUS REALTY has embraced them thanks to its internet heritage. Our founder, Carlos Bravo, is a former internet executive that has founded and merged several wildly successful companies in the manufacturing, management consulting and technology arenas, including taking public the first Internet Applications Services Provider (ASP) ever. As a developer and private investor, he understands the challenges and opportunities in commercial and residential markets.

Google

Through its network of highly trafficked websites, Karlhaus has created an exceptionally targeted and cost effective marketing channel for property owners and agents to reach tenants and buyers.

More exposure means faster sell time at better price.

Your Expectations Deserve to Be Exceeded

We are, above all, trusted consultants. The foundation of our business model is a legacy from the marketing, management consulting and technology industries, where client's satisfaction determined our success. You expect the highest levels of performance, responsiveness and accountability. Your goals need to be partnered with knowledgeable, experienced professionals. Your property should receive maximum exposure in multiple markets, and most importantly, you require and deserve exceeded expectations.

Our advice comes backed by over 25 years of experience providing sound advice with integrity. While we follow the golden rule (“He who has the gold makes the rules…”), at Karlhaus:

We will never tell a client what he or she would rather hear if we don't believe that to be reality.

We will not enter into a client relationship if we know what is expected of us cannot be done in good faith.

We'd rather lose a sale than a friend. This is not just basic integrity, but also good business sense. Happy customers attract more customers, simple.

Someone once said: “If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters.” That succinctly sums up our philosophy.
