In the heart of London in 1744, an exceptional auction house was born. That house built a tradition of uniting collectors with world-class works of art and marketing the worldās most cherished possessions.
Founded on the same commitment to exceptional service that characterized the Sothebyās Auction House, the Sothebyās International Realty brand is created and becomes known around the world for the distinctive properties it represents.
The Sothebyās International Realty brand is recognized globally. Our service is tailored through technology, making us the modern go-to for real estate professionals and clients who expect the very best from the very best.
As the Principal Broker and Managing Partner at Hunt Country Sothebyās International Realty, I pledge to ensure that our office will honor the tradition and standards of our venerated brand. We verbalize this as a promise to deliver a luxury experience to every client, every time.
A Brief History of Sothebyās International Realty
Sothebyās International Realty is a luxury real estate brand that was founded in 1976 as a subsidiary of the renowned art auction house Sothebyās. The idea behind the creation of Sothebyās International Realty was to capitalize on the reputation and global network of Sothebyās art auction house to create a prestigious real estate brand that would appeal to high-net-worth individuals and provide them with a high-end real estate buying and selling experience.
Sothebyās International Realty began with just a few offices in the United States but quickly expanded its reach and established itself as a leader in luxury real estate. In 2004, Realogy Corporation acquired the brand and has since helped to further grow and expand the companyās global footprint.
Today, Sothebyās International Realty has more than 23,000 affiliated independent sales associates located in over 1,000 offices in 72 countries and territories worldwide. The company specializes in luxury residential real estate, offering a range of services, including property marketing, property management, relocation services, and real estate consulting.
Sothebyās International Realty has a reputation for representing some of the most extraordinary properties in the world, including stunning estates, private islands, historic castles, and prestigious penthouses. The brand has also become synonymous with luxury lifestyle, hosting exclusive events and sponsoring cultural initiatives around the world.
