My favorite 'Luxury Resort' is in Las Vegas ...
I suppose there is a place for everyone, but not for me! If I have a campsite that has an electric cord and I can reach it without punching holes in the side of my camper by low hanging tree branches, I'm good. I could never enjoy such a place as this.
Funny and true story: We tried selling our house in Carmel, Indiana. After the For Sale By Owner failed, we started searching out realtors. We "interviewed" realtors before settling on one. But one we met with basically told us, our house was not prestigious enough for him to even list it. If we didn't make "X,Y,Z" changes he wouldn't even take us as a client. When searching his web site, his clientele had million dollar houses, and he only successfully closed the deal on 2 or 3 a year. We went with a down-home, middle average, no frills common ordinary realtor.... that did finally get the house sold.
Point made? There's a place for everyone!
So in Indiana YOU have to seek out a Realtor? In Texas it's the agent that calls you non-stop to get your business, basically wanting to be your Agent. I listed my last house on a website and picked the "for sale by owner" option and even wrote that I didn't want to be contacted by real estate Agents; Well good luck with that, my phone rang off the hook w/nothing but realtors wanting to sell my house, until I sold it.
