Franchise system
editIn February 2004, Sotheby’s entered into a long-term strategic alliance with real estate services provider Realogy Holdings Corp., now Anywhere Real Estate, Inc. The agreement provided for the licensing of the Sotheby’s International Realty name and the development of a full franchise system. Franchises in the system are granted to brokerages and individuals meeting Realogy's qualifications. The franchisor supports its agents with operational, marketing, recruiting, educational, and business development resources.[citation needed][3] In 2012, the company launched a website for farm and ranch listings, the first in a series of specialty market Internet listings.[4] Subsequently focused marketing websites include waterfront, golf, ski, and historic properties.
Sotheby's International Realty has offices worldwide with the most of them in USA, and Europe (Antwerp, Porto, Paris, Montenegro,[5] Dublin...)
Reside magazine
editThe company publishes Reside, a semi-annual real estate and lifestyle magazine, which won the Hermes Platinum Award for creative excellence and outstanding design and editorial in 2009.[6]
