Sotheby’s

Sotheby’s International Realty is a well-established name in luxury residential real estate, recognized for its broad international reach and longstanding heritage. The company began in 1976 as an extension of the Sotheby’s auction house, bringing a tradition of trust and excellence into the property market. A significant milestone in its history was the 2004 acquisition by Anywhere Real Estate Inc., which provided Sotheby’s International Realty with additional resources and support to expand its global footprint.

As of November 2025, Sotheby’s International Realty operates more than 1,100 offices worldwide, spanning 84 countries and territories. This network includes both company-owned and independently operated franchise offices, allowing the brand to serve a diverse range of luxury markets. Over the past five years, Sotheby’s International Realty has focused its growth on affiliating with leading independent brokerages and entering new markets, particularly in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Latin America. The company has opened new offices in emerging luxury destinations while also strengthening its presence in established cities such as New York, London, Hong Kong, and Paris.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, Sotheby’s International Realty stands out for its scale and credibility in the luxury segment. The brand’s network offers access to high-net-worth clients and exclusive properties, supported by a referral system that connects local expertise with international exposure. Sotheby’s International Realty continues to evolve, adapting its growth strategy to meet the changing demands of the global luxury real estate market while maintaining its reputation for personalized service and innovative marketing.
