This month marks three remarkable years since the founding of One Sotheby’s Realty. Since it began in 2008, in the midst of the real estate crisis, the company has made innovative strides that have now placed it as the area’s leading luxury residential real estate leader, which is constantly surpassing the expectations of both clients and the community. Its third year in business has been the most successful yet, with over $1 billion in closed residential sales, an increase of $650 million over last year.
In just three short years One Sotheby’s has added over 250 top producing agents that focus on all parts of South Florida with expertise to serve a network of elite clientele. The company has also been able to leverage its presence with state of the art offices in Coral Gables, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Aventura and Fort Lauderdale, a strong media presence as well as social media initiatives. “Our strength and knowledge in marketing, our corporate brand identity with Sotheby’s International Realty and our luxury residential listings give us a competitive edge in the real estate arena and have allowed us to close this year out with a great success story, “ says company President Beth Butler.
Fueled by international buyers, the Miami market has recovered faster than any other part of the country, making the outlook for the next three years very optimistic. While we wait for what’s to come, here’s a look at some of the highlights from the past three years:
