History

[edit]

Sotheby's Auction House was founded back in 1744 in London originally as an auctioneer of books. In 1976 Sotheby's International Realty was founded. The company operates as a franchise focusing on brokering and marketing of luxury real estate.

In February 2004, Realogy Holdings (NYSE: RLGY), a real estate franchising and provider of real estate brokerage entered into a long-term alliance with Sotheby's, the operator of the Auction House. The agreement provided for the licensing of the Sotheby’s International Realty name and the development of a full franchise system.

Offices

[edit]

As of the end of 2013, the Sotheby's International Realty network had more than 14,500 sales associates located in 700 offices in 52 countries and territories worldwide.
