The world’s most expensive homes
The other day I woke up with a thought in my head about a domain name that I have. Not sure where this thought came from but it made me jump out of bed. After reviewing the real estate guide trade publication for Martha’s Vineyard Real Estate (Massachusetts) the night before I realized something that intrigued me.

Browsing through just under 200 pages of display ads of residential properties listed for sale on the Vineyard- an island resort destination off Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was part of my due-diligence in gearing up to solicit an end-user for a real estate geo-domain name. No doubt the real estate is expensive on the Vineyard and Nantucket with small beach cottages valued at a minimum of $500,000 and a high percentage of the island properties in the area of $1 million dollar+ along with a number of multi-million dollar properties & waterfront estates.

Since video is the future of online advertising, an Internet Real Estate Tv show makes perfect sense for a high-end real estate broker and/or luxury real estate office such as Sotheby’s International.
So for Cape Cod & Islands real estate, my hopes & dreams of hitting a domaining trifecta, led me to acquire the following real estate geo-domain names:

* CapeRealEstate.Tv
* VineyardRealEstate.Tv
* NantucketRealEstate.Tv

I visualized billboards on all the major highways in New England with these domain names plastered on the driving routes from Boston, Providence & New York, etc. to the Cape & Islands to promote the above referenced category defining Massachusetts real estate Tv channels to promote the inventory on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket.

Back to my awakening thought. What is the highest & best use for VineyardRealEstate.Tv?
Clearly these domains offer synergy to a real estate brokerage firm that covers all three markets.
However, it dawned on me that some of the most expensive real estate in the World is not on Martha’s Vineyard. I thought “Vineyard Real Estate”- how about Vineyard Estates in wine country like Napa Valley. Was I thinking too small? What about other wine countries such as Argentina and South Africa?
Perhaps VineyardRealEstate.Tv developed for affluent buyers of Wine Estates in grape growing countries is the highest & best use to add value to this domain name. Perhaps cater to both pools of buyers to get the best of both World’s. In any event, I know that there are affluent, super rich real estate investors who are high-net-worth that look globally for Vineyard Real Estate (Wine Country Estates) for country retreats. This type of country retreat is some of the most expensive real estate in the World.

In sum, one 5-6 figure brokerage fee on a million dollar+ property could possibly pay for all three of these promising domain names. Any takers?

(Domain Brokers Protected… will pay a 20% brokerage fee)

P.S. RealEstateUSA.Tv, MARealEstate.Tv, MassachusettsRealEstate.Tv, & ConnecticutRealEstate.Tv are also available for acquisition or joint-venture.
