“Hong Kong residents have a keen interest in luxury real estate and the territory also has a strong appeal to international buyers,” said Philip White, president and chief executive officer of Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC.  “Hong Kong is a key global market, and we are proud to be represented in this important region by Hisashi Kitami and his team.”

List Sotheby’s International Realty is set to open its first office in Hong Kong in the second half of 2017.  As previously announced, the firm also has plans to open in Bangkok, Thailand, within the next year.

“We have had a strong track record with the Sotheby’s International Realty brand and have since used this formula for success to expand into additional global markets,” said Kitami.  “At List Sotheby’s International Realty, we serve the needs of clientele who seek to diversify their real estate assets across locations internationally and we are committed to setting the industry standard for excellence.”

The Sotheby’s International Realty network currently has more than 20,000 affiliated independent sales associates located in approximately 880 offices in 66 countries and territories worldwide. In 2016, the brand achieved a record global sales volume of $95 billion USD.  List Sotheby’s International Realty listings will be marketed on the Sothebys Realty 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.
