NEW
YORK, Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sotheby's
International Realty today announced that its independently owned
and operated affiliate, Premier Sotheby's International Realty,
continues to expand in Florida.
The expansion marks the Sotheby's International Realty brand's 80th
affiliated office in the state.
The new office location will be headquartered in the city of
Ocala, Florida and will be led and
managed by managing broker, Carrie
Prieto, who brings more than two decades of real estate
experience to the firm. The company will service the city of
Ocala and Marion County. The expansion builds upon
Premier Sotheby's International Realty's existing locations in
Florida and North Carolina, which now consist of a total
of more than 40 offices and 1,400 independent sales associates.
"Ocala is seeing an influx of
luxury buyers and is considered one of the fastest growing cities
in Florida, while still offering a
small-town feel," said Philip White,
president and CEO of Sotheby's International Realty. "The expansion
is a natural evolution of the already vast footprint of Premier
Sotheby's International Realty, and we look forward to supporting
their growth throughout the region."
"The opening of the World Equestrian Center in Ocala has significantly impacted the local
luxury real estate segment," said Kristine
Newell, senior vice president of Premier Sotheby's
International Realty. "Our new office location is the perfect fit
for our growing portfolio, and we've already been involved in
high-profile transactions in the area. Beyond luxury buyers, global
equestrian enthusiasts and professionals are flocking to the
region, driving high-end property demand. These luxury properties
require targeted marketing strategies and the reach of Sotheby's
International Realty to facilitate connections to a wider, global
audience, and we're excited to bring that expertise to the
market."
The firm's new office location will consist of several real
estate agents with plans for continued growth. Premier Sotheby's
International Realty is part of the Peerage Realty Partners
portfolio.
The Sotheby's International Realty network currently has
more than 26,500 affiliated independent sales associates located in
more than 1,100 offices in 81 countries and territories worldwide.
Premier Sotheby's International Realty listings are marketed on the
sothebysrealty.com 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
Sotheby's auction house and worldwide Sotheby's International
Realty marketing programs. Each office is independently owned
and operated.
