Established in 1976 as a logical extension of Sotheby's fine art auction services, Sotheby's International Realty has since developed into the world's premier luxury residential real estate brokerage and marketing company.

While real estate is by nature local, the market for important real estate can be national, even global. This is where, through Sotheby's International Realty's® position as the only true international, full-service real estate brokerage, Sotheby's International Realty® offers tremendous advantages. Brokerage expertise on the local level, combined with our access to important international markets and purchasers of fine art, furnishings and collectibles, ensures that the homes Sotheby's International Realty® represents receive the far-reaching exposure they deserve.

Through Sotheby's International Realty's® global network and proprietary marketing tools and techniques, Sotheby's International Realty can communicate property information quickly to an established qualified client base, and to a broader audience through Martin & Sebastiani and the Sotheby's International Realty® web site: www.SothebysHomes.com/norcal.
