A LEGACY OF SERVICE AND EXPERTISE
SOTHEBY’S HAS A LONGSTANDING TRADITION OF BRINGING TOGETHER
BUYERS AND SELLERS OF FINE PROPERTY
Since Sotheby’s founding and inaugural sale of rare books in 1744, its name has earned renown as a marketer of the world’s most unique and valuable possessions. This reputation is built as much upon exceptional service as it is on the notable art, antiques, jewelry and collectibles that pass through Sotheby’s auction rooms around the world.
In 1976, Sotheby’s recognized an opportunity to serve its clients in a valuable new way by offering a complete package of real estate services, and Sotheby’s International Realty® was formed. Continuing the auction house’s tradition of exceptional service and expertise, the Sotheby’s International Realty® brand is known around the world today both for the distinctive properties it represents and the price records it has set with the sale of many spectacular homes, while still maintaining a strategic marketing relationship with Sotheby’s auction house.
