“I’m a man of simple tastes. I’m always satisfied with the best.”
Oscar Wilde
Originally British and now headquartered in New York City, Sotheby’s is a pioneering business that offers the world’s most discerning clientele the opportunity to sell or acquire the rarest, most exceptional treasures. With over 1,115 offices, Sotheby’s International Realty® is widely
considered one of the most interconnected, truly global networks in the world and is able to provide unmatched, white-glove service. The Sotheby’s brands form an unwavering alliance, jointly committed as one of the most storied names in business.
A natural progression from priceless treasures to prestigious property.
In 1976, an exceptional real estate company is launched and created from the same passion that guides the internationally famous Sotheby’s Auction House. Today we are a commanding presence in the representation of the world’s rarest and most highly sought after properties.
The collaboration between Realty and Auction utilises a unique combination of exclusive marketing efforts that provide targeted exposure to a coveted and highly influential audience. In the global market we serve, this distinguishes our brand in a meaningful manner.
The name Sotheby’s has a reputation that precedes it. It is logical to expect that a company that deals exclusively with objects d’art as varied as rarest-ofthe-rare automobiles, artwork (both contemporary and old masters), jewellery, watches and wine, should make the transition to premium property, projects and developments. After all we are simply servicing the same clients.
Founded in 1976 to provide independent brokerages with a powerful marketing and referral program for luxury listings, the Sotheby’s International Realty® network was designed to connect the finest independent real estate companies to the most prestigious clientele in the world.
A true global network.
Our brand’s referral program helps enhance revenue potential for both real estate and auction consignments by connecting our network members all around the world. From broker-to-broker to auction referrals, these opportunities are managed with extreme care to ensure impeccable, white-glove service.
