Sotheby’s International Realty was founded in 1976 as a real estate service for the discerning clients of Sotheby’s auction house, which was founded more than two centuries before. Since that time, it has become one of the world’s leading luxury residential brokerage firms, meeting the needs of today’s marketplace while remaining true to the principles of quality and service that Sotheby’s was founded on.

Through the Sotheby’s International Realty®network of affiliate brokerages, which spans more than 36 countries, and a continued connection to Sotheby’s auction businesses, our brokerages can communicate property information quickly to an established, international client base.
Because of the worldwide recognition and respect for the Sotheby’s name, our listings get the attention of the most qualified purchasers in the marketplace. While Sotheby’s International Realty offices have set many selling price records and handled the sale of some of the world’s most extraordinary estates, our comprehensive approach to selling property has proven effective for quality listings in a range of prices. Though we have consistently maintained an average sales price of over $1.4 million, more than half of our annual sales are for properties priced under $1 million.
