Platinum Properties unveils four new initiatives for 2008

Following a successful 2007, Platinum Properties has unveiled four new business initiatives designed to accelerate its growth, broaden its client base and build on its unique niches. Among the creative undertakings are a new 24-hour concierge service, in-house direct lender, revamped website and international property management for individual condo owners. Platinum Properties will launch the Platinum Concierge, offering Manhattan buyers and renters 24-hour personalized service in which clients and prospective clients may call and speak with a member of Platinum's sales team on any housing related issue. The firm will expand its individualized services to clients through its restructured real estate management company, which will manage individual condo units for overseas buyers. As part of its service, Platinum will develop an effective marketing plan to rent out individual units throughout Manhattan, maximizing its international clients' investment. In addition to the management company, Platinum will also partner with Golden First Mortgage Corporation, a licensed mortgage banker with more than 25 years of experience. Over the next few months, the company will also unveil a new user-friendly website. Founded in 2005, Platinum Properties is a Wall Street-based real estate services firm with a steadily growing sales staff of over two dozen agents serving the Financial District and other sectors of the Manhattan real estate marketplace.
