Christie's Great Estates and HGChristie, a Winning Partnership

 

Christie's Great Estates, real estate arm of the world's oldest fine art auction house, and HGChristie, arguably the foremost real estate services in the Bahamas, make an unbeatable international real estate combination.

Christie's Great Estates, a wholly owned subsidiary of Christie's, was formed in June 1995. It was soon after that HGChristie began its association with the world leader.

Although Christie's Great Estates and HGChristie share a name only by coincidence, the companies have many striking similarities, especially in their mutually high standards regarding offering services with the ultimate in discretion and professionalism. When Christie's Great Estates invited HGChristie's affiliation, it marked the successful conclusion of a long and careful screening process.

The Christie's Great Estate affiliate must meet stringent professional standards and must be able to demonstrate proven records of success in handling distinctive properties.

Further, affiliate status is offered only to those firms who meet an uncompromising standard for excellent service and who achieve consistently high levels of achievement. The firm must dominate the high-end market in their areas, have a long-standing record of business professionalism, and have a solid reputation for conscientious client service.

President & CEO
Christie's Great Estates

Kay Coughlin, President & CEO underlines the high standard of Christie's affiliate selection. "Real estate companies that have been selected for affiliation with Christie’s Great Estates are the leading real estate firms in their markets. They have proven records of success in handling luxury real estate, impressive histories of business professionalism, and solid reputations for superb client service."

Admittance to the Christie's Great Estates affiliate network means a firm has earned a reputation for meticulous service to clients buying and selling important properties. Christie's Great Estates affiliates exemplify the traditional value of service to their clients.

In every case, HGChristie met or exceeded the mark.

But there is much more than prestige or bragging rights involved. HGChristie's clients enjoy a long list of benefits from one of the most effective efficient real estate affiliations in the world.

First there is the presence of HGChristie listings in the Christie Great Estates world network, a closely knit group of 600 top-of-the-market real estate firms in virtually every country, with over 15,000 associates dedicated to the marketing and sale of important properties. HGChristie's listings are accessible and able to be viewed by all in the network.

Then there is HGChristie's ongoing presence in "Christie's Great Estates" magazine, an award-winning quarterly publication that showcases the finest luxury properties in the world.

Every issue of the magazine, available by subscription or on quality magazine stands, has a Bahamas section featuring a premier HGChristie premier luxury property.

The quality of the magazine sets the pace for publications of international luxury listings, both in print and on the internet.

ChristiesGreatEstates.com is the sister site of the magazine, featuring online premier listings from HGChristie and from other Christie's Great Estates affiliates. Buyers from the world over are attracted to the Bahamas and to HGChristie, giving powerful impact to an HGChristie listing and handily supplementing the online listings of HGChristie.com. Immediate links to mail and the HGChristie.com website are available to the user. Information regarding an HGChristie listing flows freely and immediately to the Christie's Great Estates user in an unbroken manner.

As you can well imagine, the Christie's Great Estates network is a fountainhead of ground-breaking information. When a market trend, an innovative approach or presentation concept is successful, it is soon disseminated throughout the affiliate network, available to all.

Affiliate conferences held by Christie's Great Estates also offer an opportunity for exchange of ideas. At the last conference, the hgchristie.com site received recognition for its innovative presentation and usefulness to the client.

Although the affiliation with Christies being in existence since 1788 and HGChristie forming in 1922, the marketing partnership between two venerable companies is just beginning. The future's new horizons promise much more.
