Platinum Drive Realty: Delivering services that go beyond buying or selling a home

The process of buying a home can be a challenging task. From deciding where to move, to the financial preparation and extensive paperwork required to obtain a mortgage, the thought of purchasing a home can be intimidating. Lifelong Westchester residents, Zachary Harrison and Heather Harrison realized this after quickly outgrowing their New York City “Junior-Four” style apartment when their oldest daughter was born. They finally agreed it was time to explore moving back to the suburbs.

Having already narrowed their search to several towns, the Harrisons were surprised to uncover that the process of finding a home was not particularly enjoyable, nor exciting, to say the very least. When trading stories with friends about their less-than-favorable real estate experiences, the opportunity to re-invent the outdated approach to real estate in the suburbs was evident. “We realized there was a great opportunity to refresh the traditional real estate process and provide outstanding assistance to clients that go well beyond buying or selling a home”, said Zachary Harrison, the President & Co-Founder, Platinum Drive Realty.

Founded with the belief that real estate should be a rewarding, exciting and highly personalized experience with outstanding client service, Platinum Drive Realty was born. With the mentorship of Heather’s grandmother, Sunny, who has 50 years of industry experience and a focus on helping new buyers successfully navigate moving from the city to the suburbs, and sellers strategically list and market their home, the Harrisons developed an innovative firm tailored for today’s client needs.

Making the move to suburbs is easy

The founders completely understand that leaving the city life behind and purchasing a home in the suburbs is not easy. Moreover, with so many fantastic suburban communities to choose from, it can be overwhelming. That’s where Platinum Drive comes in.

Platinum Drive Realty’s Complimentary Luxury Tours of the Suburbs offer an exciting approach to explore and discover the best towns for its clients. The tours provide an opportunity to experience a “day-in-the-life” with local area experts that specialize in the communities that best fit the clients’ needs and overall lifestyle.

From a technology standpoint, the firm’s The Best Suburb for Me Quiz uses a proprietary algorithm that matches potential buyers with suburban towns that best fit the preferences indicated by their quiz answers.

“It’s so much more than showing a home. Since many of us live in the areas we cover, and grew up here too, we can provide the inside scoop from personal experiences that traditional real estate websites simply cannot.” – Heather Harrison, Co-Founder, Platinum Drive Realty.

Platinum Drive’s local market knowledge and unique perspective is incredibly valuable to first-time buyers considering a move to the suburbs. Its real estate experts know first hand what it’s like to grow up here as a child and what it’s like to live here as an adult too!

Commitment to deliver outstanding results

Since launching their first office in Scarsdale, NY, Platinum Drive Realty has opened several locations throughout Westchester County, NY, Greenwich, CT, and Long Island, NY.

The market’s positive response combined with the firm’s impressive track record motivates the Platinum Drive team to continuously innovate and think outside the box to remain on the cutting edge of real estate.

No two real estate transactions are the same, but the Harrisons and their team understand the emotions, sentiments and concerns people experience at pivotal moments throughout their lives. They personalize the purchasing or selling experience for each and every client’s unique set of needs and goals. This is how it’s successful The Upside to Downsizing Tour came to fruition.

Implementing the same principles as the Luxury Tours of the Suburbs, the Upside to Downsizing Tour is a complimentary, fun and informative event focused on educating local Empty Nest residents on the great residential options available in the suburbs with lower taxes and less maintenance.

Global Presence to maximize property exposure

Platinum Drive Realty is an affiliate of various global networks that elevate the firm’s reach to compete on a global scale. The firm also maintains an internal global division comprised of top agents with international backgrounds across multiple languages and cultures.

In the near future, Platinum Drive Realty plans to break into new local real estate markets and extend its unique approach to real estate throughout the Tri-State-Area and beyond. “We want to be an organization that goes beyond a real estate transaction and make positive contributions to the greater community and the lives of our clients.”

Look out for exciting announcements from Platinum Drive Realty coming this summer!
