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 uponwhich Sotheby's was founded.

Today, Sotheby's International Realty, Inc. provides brokerage, marketing and consulting services for distinctive properties, including estates, ranches and resorts.  We operate Sotheby's International Realty brokerage offices in key metropolitan and resort markets, including London; Manhattan; the Hamptons; Westchester County; Greenwich, Conn.; Litchfield County, Conn.; Cape Cod; Palm Beach, Fla.; Southern California; San Francisco; Sonoma; Monterey Peninsula; Sun Valley, Idaho; Santa Fe, New Mexico and Jackson Hole, Wyo.

Through the Sotheby's International Realty® network of affiliate brokerages 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.

Sotheby's International Realty promotes listings through a variety of targeted, international publications including Sotheby's proprietary publication Sotheby's Preview magazine, as well as key national newspapers and magazines.  Moreover, sothebyshomes.com is a comprehensive web site for buyers and sellers of fine properties in key residential and resort markets.  In providing maximum exposure for our listings through a range of media and proprietary channels, we are positioned to reach the right buyers at the right price, regardless of where they are based.

Sotheby's International Realty, Inc. is now part of NRT Incorporated, the nation's largest residential real estate brokerage company. NRT, a subsidiary of Realogy Corporation (NYSE: H), operates Realogy's company owned real estate brokerage offices.  Realogy also manages the Sotheby's International Realty® network of independently owned real estate affiliates through Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates, Inc.
