The leader in the Las Vegas luxury real estate industry has a new location, location, location.

Sotheby’s International Realty recently opened its doors on a brand new 12,000-square-foot Sin City office space at UnCommons, a 40-acre mixed-use “utopia,” and the global real estate giant already looks right at home.

This relocation is just one of a thousand Sotheby’s International Realty strongholds in 80 countries and perhaps ideally suited for a world-renowned brand that prides itself on being, well…uncommon.

“We’re not your normal real estate agent,” says Sotheby’s International Realty real estate advisor Claire Nagel. “We are different from other agencies because of our global reach, huge international online presence, and quality of service. I always say you hire Sotheby’s International Realty because you don’t have to think about it.”

That is evident the moment you enter the elegant property. From the full-scale marketing wing to the two non-confrontational conference rooms to the ample number of glassed-in agent offices, it is an affluent yet approachable atmosphere, with a major emphasis on the client-centric relationship.

Las Vegas Sotheby’s International Realty President Randy Char, who calls it “beyond the status quo,” says they’ve laid a foundation to “deliver a level of service to our agents and their clients that this community has not seen before.”

In addition, the new hub at UnCommons has the iconic Sotheby’s auction house seal of approval. You might say Sotheby’s International Realty is a literal chip off the old auction block!

Sotheby’s is “the oldest and largest internationally recognized firm of fine art auctioneers in the world.” Its first official auction took place 279 years ago in London, thanks to founder Samuel Baker, but the real estate branch didn’t emerge until 1976 as a full-service firm for Sotheby’s clients.

Cut to 2021. The company boasts a network of top-producing agents who generated over $204 billion in total sales. To this day, Sotheby’s name internationally remains synonymous with innovation and inclusiveness.

“We feel like a family,” says Nagel of the company’s current culture.

With her extensive background in customer service, Nagel says their entire network of agents consistently working together has become integral to Sotheby’s International Realty’s success, as well as her own.

“We all help each other, and we have a great referral network anywhere in the world. If you wanted to buy a house in Italy, I could find someone to help you,” says Nagel. “We provide white glove service, and we go the whole way. If someone’s selling a house and they’re connected with the auction house, we have the means to help people sell their house, [as well as] their artwork, gems, wine collection…”

Right now, the market is hot with leads on luxury listings. If visits to sothebysrealty.com are any indication—46 million, the most in its history—Sotheby’s International Realty deserves an ovation, ovation, ovation.

But if you’re looking to visit in person, Sotheby’s International Realty in Las Vegas is rolling out the red carpet.

Now that’s what I call curb appeal.
