What We Believe

  • The right company is one large enough to have extensive resources, yet with the mindset and feel of a boutique.
  • Listings are the key to the real estate business, and our mission is to help you compete in any market and price range.
  • From leadership to office staff, all employees must be non-compete and totally focused on your business success.
  • You earn all the leads generated from your listing, and your name and contact number are promoted.
  • A relocation department should be a service center helping to expand your business without upcharge or reduced commission levels.
  • An elevated culture is central to our collective success, and we therefore are highly selective in our people, properties, and practices.

SOTHEBY'S CONCIERGE AUCTION

Sotheby's is well known for auctioning works of fine art, antiques, jewelry, watches, wine, and cars to high-net-worth individuals, but it's also a valuable option for select properties. In fact, auctioning a property can accelerate the timing of a sale to as little as 60 days.
