Sotheby’s International Realty Network Reports Significant Gains for 2015

MADISON, N.J. (Feb. 25, 2016) – Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC today reported that in 2015 its affiliated brokers and sales professionals achieved approximately $80 billion in U.S. home sales volume (transaction sides multiplied by average sale price). Driven largely by a brand record of over 100,000 total transaction sides, this is the highest annual sales volume performance in the history of the brand and marks a 13% increase from the prior year.

Global Growth

The Sotheby’s International Realty brand also reported growth in its global network, which now encompasses 63 countries and territories worldwide. At year-end, the network totaled 835 offices, a gain of nearly 10%, and more than 18,800 sales associates, up 14%.

“2015 was a record year for domestic franchise sales for the Sotheby’s International Realty brand,” said Philip White, president and chief executive officer, Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC. “This year alone, we have also added 12 international, independently owned and operated affiliate brokerage locations to our global network, which will drive accessibility to the increasing level of international buyers in key luxury markets.”

Outside the United States, the Sotheby’s International Realty brand continued to expand into key markets in 2015. The entire Gulf Region is poised for significant growth as the brand’s affiliate brokerage in the region, Gulf Sotheby’s International Realty, acquired the rights to deliver real estate services in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The brand saw continued growth entering the countries of Chile, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, and Nicaragua, while expanding its presence in Italy, Queensland, Australia and in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Sotheby’s International Realty brand also added five independently owned and operated residential real estate firms and 73 new offices to its network across the United States. This past year witnessed continued growth by existing affiliate companies through mergers, acquisitions and recruiting. Notable transactions included the coming together of three companies in Vermont and New Hampshire that resulted in one of the largest operators in those states under the Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty banner, and the acquisition of South Bay Brokers in Manhattan Beach by Vista Sotheby’s International Realty. Several key open markets were also filled, namely: Baltimore, Md.; Block Island, R.I.; Charlottesville, Va. and Portland, Ore.

Last year The Wall Street Journal/REAL Trends “Top Thousand” ranked agents based on average sales price, recognizing the success of agents that specialize in the luxury real estate segment. The Sotheby’s International Realty brand had 75 of the top 250 (30%) individuals by average sales price. This achievement is reflective of the success of our efforts to further establish the brand as the voice of luxury.

Marketing

From a marketing perspective, the brand’s 2015 campaign delivered more than 1.2 billion impressions.

The firm is managed by Arkadiusz Wojciechowski and Piotr Sliwka, who signed an exclusive 25-year master franchise agreement to develop the Sotheby's International Realty® brand throughout Poland including the luxury residential real estate markets in Warsaw, Crocow, Wroclaw, Poznan and Lodz.

"Expansion across Europe continues our commitment to providing access to the Sotheby's International Realty network's exclusive real estate services in key cities around the world," said Philip White, president and chief executive officer, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC.  "This affiliation, which strengthens the brand's presence in Europe, offers entrance into the famous capital city of Warsaw.  I was proud to attend the Warsaw launch of Poland Sotheby's International Realty in person, and am delighted that a global clientele will now have access to the brand in this historic part of the world."

According to Wojciechowski, the firm was created to fulfill the needs of highly discerning clients searching for extraordinary real estate and requiring a high quality of service. "It is vitally important for our team to ensure that we understand our clients' needs and to deliver efficient and personalized services with professionalism and confidentiality," he said.  "The Polish real estate market is unique in that it is focused on a number of key cities with an array of high-end apartments and luxury developments, as well as spacious residences in the surrounding popular suburban towns and villages.

Caribbean Air fares to fall for UK flights

Great news for those traveling from the UK to the Cayman Islands by air, as the Chancellor George Osborne today announced the abolition of Air Passenger Duty bands C and D in his Budget.

The move, which will benefit frequent travellers to Asia Pacific and South America, will see all long-haul flights shift into band B and comes into effect on April 1, 2015.

Currently, APD is calculated according to the distance between London and the destination country's capital city.

This leaves travellers heading to say, the Caribbean, being charged £330, while those who travel an additional 2,500 miles to Hawaii actually pay less at £270.

Today's announced change means that all long-haul flights will now carry the same tax as a flight to the US. And private jets will no longer be exempt from the levy.

Virgin Atlantic said in a statement: "A two band APD rate is a very welcome simplification to remove some of the biggest distortions of the current system, which the Chancellor himself admitted is crazy and unjust.

"The Government has rightly recognised the damage APD is having on exporters and the travelling public alike.

"A tax system which penalised high growth emerging economies such as China and India was always contrary to the Government's stated policy on trade and exports, so this is a positive step that recognises the impact of this economically damaging tax.

"There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating the huge economic benefits to the UK of reducing or abolishing APD and we hope that the Government will continue to go further in the long run."

Dale Keller, chief executive of the Board of Airline Representatives in the UK, said: "The Government has finally acknowledged what the industry and business knew all along – that the highest rates of aviation tax in the world were a brake on driving the UK's economic growth with emerging markets.

"Of course we would like the Chancellor to go further still on reducing APD but this is a step in the right direction and BAR UK will continue its engagement with the Government to deliver the fair and proportionate aviation tax that the UK deserves."

Belgium opens door to Sotheby's International Realty

Sotheby's International Realty today announced its luxury real estate services are now available in Belgium with the opening of Brussels Sotheby's International Realty.

The firm, which is managed by David Chicard, serves the luxury residential real estate market throughout Brussels and Wallonia.

"Expansion across Europe continues our commitment to providing access to the Sotheby's International Realty network's exclusive real estate services in key cities around the world," said Philip White, president and chief executive officer, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC.  "This affiliation, which strengthens the brand's presence in Europe, offers entrance into this famous and strategically important Belgian capital city. We are very pleased that a global clientele will now have access to the brand in this historic and beautiful part of the world."

According to David Chicard, it is the team's goal to deliver efficient and personalized services with professionalism and confidentiality.  "As the headquarters of many European institutions, Brussels is often considered something of a capital for the European Union," he said.  "Being at the crossroads of cultures and playing an important role in Europe, Brussels fits the definition of the archetypal 'melting pot,' but still retains its own unique character.  Brussels has a population of about 1.2 million, and its metropolitan area is just over 2 million.  Our focus is on providing comprehensive service at every stage of the process.  The quality of our service is based on detailed knowledge of the market and its dynamic, precise and proven procedures, and a motivated, responsible and skilled team. Now with the support of the Sotheby's International Realty brand we can bring Brussels' extraordinary property to the far-reaching corners of the world."

The Sotheby's International Realty network currently has nearly 14,000 sales associates located in approximately 680 offices in 49 countries and territories worldwide.  Brussels Sotheby's International Realty listings will be marketed on the sothebysrealty.com global website.  In addition to the referral opportunities and widened exposure generated from this source, the firm's brokers and clients will benefit from an association with the Sotheby's auction house and worldwide Sotheby's International Realty marketing programs.  Each office is independently owned and operated.

Caribbbean House, Little Cayman

Caribbean House, Little Cayman is a unique luxury property.
Offered at US$1.85m


Caribbean House, Little Cayman is a great reflection of what Little Cayman is and has to offer as a Caribbean Island, providing the perfect balance between luxury living and laid back island paradise. There are few places in the Caribbean and even within the world that are able to offer the delights of a tropical island along with the creature comforts you’d rather not leave at home. Little Cayman offers quintessential Caribbean Island life with a “Little” bit extra, small in population and size: around two hundred and fifty people living on a land mass of around ten square miles, Little Cayman is approximately ten miles long and has an average width of one mile but there is nothing diminutive when contemplating the scale of its natural beauty.
As you approach Little Cayman from the air and before land even hoves into view the variation of colours in the sea below are a delight to behold, the deep waters reflected in the magnificent mauves and deep purples graduating through every shade of blue until they reach the shallow sandy shores turning an iridescent green and turquoise, as the De Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter makes it descent towards the short Airstrip of Edward Bodden Aiport below you can almost feel any residual stress of city life just seeping away and in its place, that warm feeling of anticipation and relaxation. Little Cayman really is a place where many different worlds collide and although if you’ve just flown in from New York you may be on the same time zone, it will feel as if you’re in a different age! A warm cheery welcome as you step down a couple of steps off the plane, a wry smile to yourself as you walk past a sign that says Terminal 1, Gate A on a two roomed airport building no more than 400sqft and warm friendly locals that wave when ever you pass them in the car, this is Little Cayman.
Don’t be fooled, although car doors and front doors are rarely if ever locked and security is not even thought of, once you pull into the driveway of Caribbean House on the peaceful North Side you will realize that you haven’t been transported back in time but that this is a different kind of place where old time values haven’t been replaced by modern technology but sit happily side by side. So although Caribbean House sits overlooking the Caribbean Sea enjoying an ocean view that hasn’t changed much in a thousand years, the house itself has been painstakingly designed combining local knowledge with the latest in high quality materials to provide a home that is both aesthetically pleasing and very low maintenance. Exterior windows and doors are all screened so that you can take advantage of the prevailing breeze but they are also manufactured with energy efficient high impact glass, which means that the electricity required to run your state of the art A/C system will be less and you will never have to worry about hurricane shutters. If you live in a world where security is not an issue then the floor plan of a house is only constrained by the best possible design, hence at Caribbean House you will find all four bedrooms on the ground floor with easy access straight out onto the deck and beach. The ensuite master bedroom doubles up as a self contained apartment with sitting area, kitchen and separate entrance it can be left open or locked off from the main house allowing maximum flexibility whether you are travelling with family or staff, it also has a large deck with extraordinary ocean views.
Ascend the solid mahogany helix spiral staircase, a feature in its own right, to reach the great room situated on the second floor to enjoy maximum impact from the ocean views, the cooling breeze and to allow a spectacular vaulted cathedral ceiling finished with solid cedar. The great room is serviced by a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops and leads out to a large deck which allows for perfect inside/outside living.
