Since the founding of the Sotheby\u2019s Auction House in 1744, the Sotheby\u2019s name has been synonymous with the marketing of the world\u2019s most valuable and desirable possessions. Today, the firm\u2019s reputation extends into the realm of exceptional real estate as well. The name conveys credibility and capability. It opens doors and grants access to places that others are unable to enter. Above all, it is a sign of the exceptional. In a very real way, the prestige of the Sotheby\u2019s brand becomes associated with your property. A bit of the legend rubs off, enhancing its value in the marketplace.<\/p>\n

A BRIEF HISTORY: THE SOTHEBY\u2019S AUCTION HOUSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

While many people across the globe are familiar with the Sotheby\u2019s name, it is the brand\u2019s heritage that often remains a mystery. Few people know that the venerable auction house they know today began with the sale of several hundred valuable books auctioned off by London bookseller and Sotheby\u2019s founder, Samuel Baker on March 11, 1744. The history of Sotheby\u2019s expanded well beyond books to include the finest in decorative arts, jewelry sales, and fine wine, and is defined by extraordinary auction moments that continue to capture the world\u2019s attention today.<\/p>\n

Since 1744, Sotheby\u2019s has distinguished itself as a leader in the auction world. Today, its auctions are conducted in ten different salerooms, including London, New York, Hong Kong and Paris. Sotheby\u2019s BidNow programme allows consumers to participate in live auctions online and place bids from anywhere in the world. Season after season, the variety and excellence of Sotheby\u2019s offerings have produced record-breaking sales. Historically, Sotheby\u2019s has been entrusted with the sale of many of the world\u2019s greatest treasures, amongst them including: the Estate of Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the Duchess of Windsor\u2019s jewels, Rembrandt\u2019s Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer, Rubens\u2019 Massacre of the Innocents, Picasso\u2019s Gar\u00e7on \u00e0 la Pipe, Bacon\u2019s Triptych, the Magna Carta, the first printing of the Declaration of Independence, The Martin Luther King Jr. Collection, and countless more.<\/p>\n

Sotheby\u2019s has long recognized that great works of art, as well as the collectors interested in buying and selling them, inhabit the globe, which inevitably led to the brand\u2019s introduction to real estate, establishing Sotheby\u2019s International Realty in 1976.<\/p>\n

A UNIQUE COLLABORATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the Sotheby\u2019s tradition has taught us anything, it\u2019s how to present a rare treasure to a sophisticated and discerning audience. The Sotheby\u2019s International Realty network benefits from a unique relationship with Sotheby\u2019s Auction House, specifically in regard to exclusive marketing efforts available to affiliates. A variety of programs are available to help Sotheby\u2019s International Realty sales associates capitalize upon these opportunities on a daily basis. With a dedicated liaison stationed at the Sotheby\u2019s Auction House, we are able to showcase our properties for the auction clientele. This is a high-profile audience \u2013 affluent, discerning and exclusive, and the Sotheby\u2019s network gives us privileged access.<\/p>\n

At the Sotheby\u2019s Worldwide Headquarters in New York, a Sotheby\u2019s International Realty brand desk can be found in the lobby. The desk serves as the first point of contact for Auction House clientele and employees and acts as a bridge between Sotheby\u2019s International Realty brand offices around the world and this key audience. A digital gallery and brochure wall displays Sotheby\u2019s International Realty properties from around the world, with similar displays emulated at Sotheby\u2019s Auction Houses worldwide, offering unparalleled global exposure.<\/p>\n

An added benefit of the relationship between the Sotheby\u2019s International Realty brand and the Auction House, is the availability of behind-the-scenes tours of the Sotheby\u2019s Auction House, that are available to Sotheby\u2019s International Realty agents and clients, allowing a rare glimpse into the inner workings of how auctions function.<\/p>\n

Today the Sotheby\u2019s Auction House maintains 80 locations in 40 countries and conducts 250 auctions annually in over 70 categories, with the opportunity for Sotheby\u2019s International Realty affiliates to have a live presence at some of these world-renowned auctions. In addition to Sotheby\u2019s four principal salerooms in New York, London, Geneva and Paris, the company, recognizing the potential in new markets, also conducts auctions in six other salerooms around the world, including Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

A GLOBAL LEADER WITH AN EYE ON THE FUTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Together, the Sotheby\u2019s Auction House and Sotheby\u2019s International Realty brand remain at the forefront of technology, revolutionizing the industry with unrivaled reach and resources, as well as a commitment to providing high-resolution photography, high-definition videography and 3-D virtual reality tours to market the homes and possessions we represent.<\/p>\n

Sotheby\u2019s International Realty is the first real estate brand to launch and implement a virtual staging augmented reality (AR) app: Curate by Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. This mobile app brings a home\u2019s virtual staging images from 2-D perception into augmented reality, allowing customers to visualize a house as their own before purchase, thereby curating the homebuying experience.<\/p>\n

Groundbreaking features include: Visualization \u2014 Any property can be transformed through a curated selection of AR furnishings and d\u00e9cor sets. Listing-specific staging options will be available in the near future. Recollection \u2014 The app has screenshot capabilities, allowing viewers to capture and store the images of AR furniture sets placed within the visit. Shop \u2014 Virtual home furnishings can be clicked for more information about the product, including a link to exit the app and be directed to a retailer\u2019s website. All furniture is shown to-scale and provides accurate room dimensions, ensuring that furniture viewed in the app will be a fit, making purchasing and moving into a new home easier on new homebuyers.<\/p>\n

The app\u2019s shoppable AR scenes are courtesy of luxury furniture and accessories marketplace Viyet, a subsidiary of the Sotheby\u2019s Auction House, further demonstrating the collaborative nature and cutting-edge technologies leveraged between the auction house and Sotheby\u2019s International Realty brand.<\/p>\n

Whether through the purchase or sale of art, jewelry, wine or real estate, the lineage of Sotheby\u2019s and the brand\u2019s global success, are rooted in a commitment to excellence above all else. In a world that is increasingly fast-paced, this tireless commitment to quality presents an extraordinary partnership of real estate professionals and art connoisseurs that can deliver unmatched service, value, and results.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
