In real estate, It’s understood that appraisers are expected to adhere to a higher standard of expertise, and when working with eight and nine-figure estates, the expectation is absolute. Only through consistent demonstrations of competence and performance can an appraiser earn the trust of top bank underwriters.

Appraising in the higher echelons of real estate and working with an array of brokerages, it became clear to me that Sotheby’s was the clear leader in Luxury Real Estate. 

As an appraiser, I observed how knowledgeable and professional Sotheby’s agents were. From simple things like consistently ensuring listings met code compliance issues that would surely be highlighted by the appraiser, to providing the appraiser with well-researched comparables and thoughtful notes, Sotheby’s was notably a higher standard of agency.  

So for me, as a broker associate realtor with an almost pedantic standard of professionalism stemming from my background in valuation, Sotheby’s International Realty was an obvious choice of Brokerage to associate myself with.
