Gulf Sotheby’s International Realty launches first ever Management Agreement model in the Middle East Clarke & Scott joins forces with global realty giant Dubai, UAE; Dubai-based Gulf Sotheby’s International Realty, a franchise of the world’s largest luxury realty network Sotheby’s International Realty, has reached an agreement with Clarke & Scott Real Estate in order to further strengthen their network of specialist agents as part of its newly introduced Management Agreement model. In line with Gulf Sotheby’s International Realty regional development strategy, this model allows for practised agencies with a solid market presence to combine knowledge and further strengthen their networks and market reach.

Clarke & Scott, a British-run real estate brokerage headed by industry experts Wezley Clarke and Scott Mitchell, is well-known for its wide-spanning industry intelligence, local influence, and specialisation, particularly within the off-plan market sector where they have secured a solid standing amongst major developers across Dubai. George Azar, Chairman and CEO of Gulf Sotheby’s International Realty adds, “Clarke & Scott are a well-established and valued brand name; they are forward thinkers who appreciate that by combining forces, they will have access to a larger market share. This model offered to the agency is based on recognition of their achievements within the local market and is only offered to brokerages that we know and respect. Only companies that fulfill certain criteria can partner with us, and Clarke & Scott are a prime example of a clear ‘fit’.” A proven business model throughout Sotheby’s offices across the world, the Management Agreement business model offers entrepreneurial flexibility, whilst allowing partners to leverage the prestige associated with the brand name and offer operations support, business development opportunities and a platform for enhanced client servicing. - Ends -
