Christie’s International Real Estate, the world’s leading luxury real estate network and a subsidiary of Christie’s auction house, has chosen First Team Estates to be its exclusive affiliate in all of Orange County and part of Los Angeles County, including Belmont Shores and Naples. Founder and Chairman of First Team Estate Cameron Merage says, “First Team was carefully selected by Christie’s ahead of all others in this market because of our proven record of success in high-end property sales and exemplary client service.” And it’s true. Our Estates team specializing in luxury home sales saw market shares in 2013 pick up 38% over our nearest competitor and nearly 8 times faster than any of the other top four brokers. That equates to more than $1 billion in Southern California real estate in 2013 for the estates broker and a total of $5.3 billion in sales for the entire First Team Real Estate Company. “Our luxury momentum will be substantially fueled as we add Christie’s International Real Estate to our branding,” said Merage. Our partnership with Christie’s International Real Estate will allow us to expand our international reach in order to provide our sellers with a wider base of interested buyers and connect luxury sellers overseas with our buyers.
