Dear Marianne,
It was such a pleasure to meet you, Jennifer, and Daria on Saturday, and we greatly appreciate the time you dedicated to touring the property with us. In follow up, we would like to present you with our marketing proposal. Our Christie’s brand carries a legacy of more than 250 years - one that is built on trust and integrity, passionate expertise, and exceptional client service. Christie’s brings unique access to buyers around the world with whom Christie’s auction house specialists and Christie’s International Real Estate agents have developed real trust. This is our distinct advantage. Working together with Elyse Harney Real Estate, leveraging their local presence and experience, we look forward to marketing your property, combining our joint local, regional, and global expertise.
As part of our proposal, we present you with our company overview, our team, and marketing plan. We have included a selection of sold properties from our Christie’s International Real Estate network. These sales show that, from the Caribbean to California and from New York to Germany, our global network has been able to successfully market some of the world’s most distinctive properties. The common theme behind these landmark sales is our relationship with our clients and collectors from around the world who trust us and our brand.
We trust this proposal expresses our deep commitment to the sale of your property, and we look forward to discussing it with you further. We are extremely enthusiastic about working with you and are confident that the expertise and passion of our team will provide you with the highest level of service.
Sincerely,
