When it comes to luxury real estate, Christie’s International Real Estate is far and away the most important network to be associated with. Only homes with values of over $1m can be included. With an average sales price of $3.8m and a network of over 31,000 associates, it is by far the “must exposure” for homeowners looking to achieve maximum selling results. Christie’s, in fact, has double the percentage of properties over $1m and almost three times the number of agents across the globe as Sotheby’s.

Extremely high net-worth clientele get introduced at the shared auction house at 20 Rockefeller Plaza. Salesrooms from all over the world (Amsterdam, Dubai, Geneva, Hong Kong, London – King Street, London – South Kensington, Milan, New York, Paris, and Zürich ) give Christie’s International Real Estate the reach to find the correct homeowner lifestyle profile that other pretend affiliates do not have access to.  Below are some quick facts on why this exclusive network that only Illustrated Properties in this region of Palm Beach County has access to is so critical to achieving top value in a sale.
