SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY: 50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY: HALF A CENTURY OF EXPERTISE. A REMARKABLE ASCENT.

Fifty years. A figure that speaks volumes about the journey undertaken and the momentum that continues to drive the Sotheby's International Realty network today. A timeless brand, constantly evolving, strengthening its position and expanding its global influence.

In 2025, the network once again demonstrated its strength across international markets, supported by the resilience of the luxury property sector. With a global sales volume of $182.4 billion, representing a 16% increase year-on-year, Sotheby's International Realty continues to underline the strength, appeal and reach of its worldwide network.

Whilst the US residential property market grew by 2.6% in 2025, Sotheby's International Realty recorded growth of 9.3% across the United States. A significant outperformance, reflecting the brand's ability to exceed broader market trends. Today, the network comprises more than 1,100 offices worldwide, creating seamless connections between sellers and buyers through advisors established in key international markets such as New York, London, Geneva, Singapore and Miami.

1,100 OFFICES. 86 COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES. THE POWER OF A GLOBAL NETWORK.

The strength of Sotheby's International Realty lies not only in the scale of its network — more than 1,100 offices across 86 countries and territories — but in what that network makes possible for every property entrusted to it.

From Brittany, each instruction can benefit from the expertise and reach of advisors based in New York, Geneva, Singapore, Miami or Tokyo, capable of presenting a property to international buyers who would otherwise remain beyond reach. This is the true distinction of Sotheby's International Realty: far more than a promise, it is a global network working every day to create opportunities for each individual property.

BORN IN THE WORLD OF ART. BUILT FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL.

It is important to remember that Sotheby's International Realty was founded in 1976 within Sotheby's auction house, itself established in 1744. Nearly three centuries spent alongside some of the world's finest works of art, most discerning collectors and most remarkable private estates.

This heritage is far more than an interesting story. It shapes a distinctive approach to exceptional property, grounded in elegance, discretion and respect for cultural and historical legacy. Every home is presented through its uniqueness, its history and its character, ensuring it reaches buyers capable of appreciating its true value.

This is not conventional estate agency. It is a discipline in its own right, guided by a philosophy that restores prestige property to its rightful place as an expression of heritage, lifestyle and enduring value.

42 MILLION VISITS. THE WORLD'S MOST FOLLOWED LUXURY REAL ESTATE BRAND.

In 2025, sothebysrealty.com welcomed nearly 42 million visits. For the first time, the brand also became the world's most followed luxury real estate company on social media, with 1.38 million followers across its platforms.

For an exceptional property in Brittany, this represents a level of international visibility that few brands can rival.

50 YEARS. A STORY STILL BEING WRITTEN.

In 2026, Sotheby's International Realty will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary at the Global Networking Event in San Francisco, California. Under the theme "Fifty Years Forward", this landmark gathering will bring together professionals from across the global network to mark half a century of achievement and open an exciting new chapter in the brand's international development.
