Our Story
1744 — SOTHEBY’S AUCTION HOUSE
In 1744, in the heart of London on New Bond Street, an exceptional auction house was founded. Sotheby’s quickly established a revered tradition of connecting discerning collectors with world-class works of art and marketing some of the world’s most treasured possessions. This legacy—now spanning more than two centuries—has cultivated a depth of expertise, connoisseurship, and authenticity that remains unrivaled.
1976 — SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY
Built upon the same commitment to excellence and service that defined the Sotheby’s Auction House for over 200 years, the Sotheby’s International Realty® brand was established in 1976. From its inception, the brand became synonymous with the representation of distinctive properties and exceptional real estate experiences around the world.
2012 — ISRAEL SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY
Israel Sotheby’s International Realty was founded in April 2012, with its headquarters located in the heart of Tel Aviv, overlooking the city’s prestigious beachfront promenade. The firm offers bespoke real estate services to both international and local clients, combining global reach with deep local expertise.
