LuxuryRealEstate.com To Offer Dream Homes for Rent

Powered Exclusively by The Society, Partnership creates first-of-its-kind online community

DENVER (April 9, 2008) — The world’s most-viewed luxury real estate Web site and the premier online marketplace for elite vacation rentals today announced their exclusive partnership to offer dream homes for rent to vacationers who want the best in luxury travel. The Luxury Real Estate vacation rentals, powered by The Society of Leisure Enthusiasts (TheSociety.com), will be of the same caliber as its unparalleled real estate.

Luxury Real Estate is a global network of more than 1,000 luxury real estate brokerages. Each member is carefully selected by Publisher John Brian Losh based on the company’s established reputation for performance, experience with high-end properties and quality service.

The Society selects vacation rental properties with an equally discerning process of review based on the recommendations of a board of industry experts who ensure that each property meets the standards and guidelines of a true luxury vacation rental.

“In the past, Luxury Real Estate has never partnered with a vacation rental organization because we hadn’t found a group that could consistently offer the same caliber of elite properties and experience our members and their private clients expected,” said Losh. “But The Society’s thorough screening process and high standards gives us the confidence to enter into this exclusive partnership.”

In 2007, there was a 43 percent increase in participation in social networks by affluent Americans, according to the Wealth Survey of the Luxury Institute. With luxury travel booming, Losh sees it as the perfect time for The Society and Luxury Real Estate to join forces in creating an online community for luxury travel.

“Visitors to luxuryrealestate.com know they will find the world’s most exclusive properties,” said Michael McFadden, co-founder of The Society. “Partnering with a trusted site like Luxury Real Estate furthers The Society’s commitment to being the symbol of luxury.”
