Three Centuries of Global Recognition

For nearly three centuries, the Sotheby’s name has been associated with expertise, trust, and access to a global clientele. Founded in London in 1744, Sotheby’s became one of the world’s most recognized auction houses, serving collectors, institutions, and private clients across generations. In 1976, the Sotheby’s International Realty® brand was established to extend that legacy into residential real estate. Today, the network operates across 86 countries and territories, connecting local market expertise with global reach.
