Costa del Sol – Christie’s Real Estate is fully briefed on the lifestyle of the exclusive Golden Mile of Marbella and the surrounding area, and so they prep themselves accordingly depending on what their clients may be looking for. Their listings include beach, eco-friendly, equestrian, farm and ranch, golf, tennis, as well as waterfront homes.
Christie’s stands out because it’s the only luxury real estate business that shares common ownership with a fine art auction house. It’s through this valuable connection that the company is able to access a global audience of the world’s high-net-worth buyers.
The brokerage’s ethos is based on the pillars of trust, discretion, and excellent service. Due to the fact that Christie’s deals with the world’s 1%, it strives to offer a bespoke service, with its affiliates holding numerous records for top property sales worldwide.
Christie’s has international sales hubs in New York, London, Hong Kong, Paris and Geneva, and is the only international auction house that is authorised to hold sales in mainland China, with price points ranging from $200 to over $100 million.
Founded in 1766, Christie’s art auction house is now a world leader in the art and luxury business. It offers comprehensive service to its clients, including art appraisal, art financing, international real estate and education.
In recent years, the auction house has dealt with personal items and works by the world’s most accomplished names such as Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Napoleon Bonaparte, Yves Saint Laurent and Diana of Wales, as well as works considered cultural heritage of humanity, for which it is being highly questioned.
