Growing client base with Sotheby's-International realty referral network

What exactly is the Sothebys International Realty network?

The Sothebys International Realty network is a real estate network like no other. It spans 1,000 offices worldwide, across 77 countries and territories  with 25,000 sales associates who, together, generated a record $204 billion USD in sales in 2021 alone. As part of that network, our nearly 400 agents at Briggs Freeman Sothebys International Realty have achieved several consecutive years of multibillion-dollar sales across North Texas. Sothebys International Realty is a globally recognized network, and being a part of it tells your clients that you are in the business of brokering the most beautiful and unique luxury properties in your area or anywhere they are dreaming of.

How do referrals work?

You already know that referrals are an essential component of your work as a real estate agent. Referrals can come from anywhere clients or friends, for instance but, as pointed out by Inman, your colleagues in real estate are often the very best source of referrals at your disposal. When you become a part of the Sothebys International Realty network, you immediately gain access to thousands of fellow agents spread out across the country and the world, who can help connect you to their clients who are looking to buy in your area, and vice versa. Referrals are always made to the highest standard, reflecting your clients expectations and those of the Sothebys International Realty brand.

3 main benefits of being with Sothebys International Realty 

We are proud to be associated with the Sothebys International Realty brand, which was founded in 1976. That association has brought our brokerage and our agents unmatched opportunities over the years, especially when it comes to internal referrals and off-market sales. Here are just some of the reasons that joining our network is the best thing you can do for your business.

1. Growing your client base

Maximizing all the potential of the Sothebys International Realty can help you build up your client list and scale up your business. My experience with referral networking has been amazing, Inaky Strick, broker associate with Kuper Sothebys International Realty in Central and South Texas, told inman.com at the end of 2021. Out of the 52 transactions I completed last year, I was able to track 25 percent of my business to referrals from the Sothebys International Realty network. Being part of this network can help you gain new clients and greatly increase your earning potential.

2. Adding unparalleled brand recognition to your business

Anywhere you find yourself in the world, the name Sothebys will be associated with luxury and high standards. After all, the Sothebys auction house has been uniting collectors with world-class works of art  and now much more  since 1744. By associating yourself with this network, you will instantly attract the respect and trust of both existing and potential clients. (I attribute most of my success to being part of such a well-known and respected brand, Strick told Inman.) Whats more, as a Sothebys International Realty agent, you can connect your clients to appraisal and valuation services for items including jewelry, fine art, wine and more. 

3. Making invaluable connections

Having access to a strong professional network is important in any business, but it makes a measurable difference in real estate. Connecting directly with agents from around the country and the world can help you better understand your own market and other markets where your clients might want to buy  and it can provide countless other learning opportunities for you. Making personal connections with people you might not have met otherwise will almost certainly enrich your life and career.
