Celebrity Real Estate Selection Secrets

Sydney, NSW (PRWEB) August 28, 2008 -- Walk down any street in any big city and you'll see them. Michael Shaw from www.DoWellinRealEstate.net discovered recently that celebrities and real estate have a lot in common. Sometimes they are disguised, sometimes they scream out for attention. Either way a when selected and managed well they can earn big bucks and make your life enjoyable.

For any other person, buying a house is a matter of budgeting and visiting the real estate to check it's suitability to them. In the celebrity world, purchase of a house is different. There are other factors that are considered. The celebrities look at the discreetness of the house, safety and how big it is for their daily activities.

Underneath it all, celebrities may be just like the rest of us. But that doesn't mean that behind it all - the neatly trimmed hedges, wrought-iron gates and watchful security men - they live like your average person.

Michael from www.DoWellinRealEstate.net found that celebrities tend to cluster with people of like minds and incomes, just like everyone else. Only you'll find them in exclusive places like the Malibu bluffs, Aspen slopes, Hamptons beaches and Miami waterfront.

They have a range of tastes - some like edgy modern mansions, others glass-walled penthouses or vintage estates. But unlike many of us, they can afford to indulge those desires.

And like the rest of us, celebrities consider their homes sanctuaries. But getting a little peace and quiet can be difficult when magazines are willing to pay thousands of dollars for a shot of you shopping in your sweats or picking up the kids' toys on the lawn.

To keep such secrets, celebrities often have their real estate agents and other representatives sign confidentiality agreements - but at other times, they are willing to attach their name to a property on the market. At www.DoWellinRealEstate.net we learned that the star aura can bring more attention to a residence, though not necessarily a higher price for it.

The size of the celebrity's house is another key factor. The more famous and more rich the celebrity usually dictates the level of extravagance and cost will be in the homes they will want. The size of a celebrity's house in square feet reflects the amount of money he is worth and how much influence he has. The homes of celebrities must have enough space for them to move around and play and these range from 6,000 to 60,000 feet squared.

The home of a celebrity must be safe. They are very keen on where their homes are located. This is done to keep away trespassers like media cameramen and nosy paparazzi who will appear from all directions. A safe home is a preference more so for celebrities who have families. Since the media is always out to get a story on celebrities, a safe home away from disturbance of cameras is preferred.

A private life is also part of safety and this makes the celebrities look for houses that are not near the gates so that no one will spy on them. They will look for gates and walls which are high while the trees also help in concealing the windows and the doors of the celebrity's house below them. A very famous person will experience more trouble when looking for a home than a less famous one since they look for total solitary homes.

Celebrities are in a position to get any home they want but they should also consider enough room, the safety they will require and a solitary life away from the rest of the people. While dealing with real estates for celebrities, one has to consider living large.

Basically celebrities don't want you looking over their fence with your camera while they throw outrageous parties or uncontrollable tantrums. Big houses, big fences, with big security guards and even bigger patrol dogs are needed to keep their big celebrity egos and your big sticky nose separated.
