Sotheby’s International Realty brand expands presence into Andorra
20/03/2015
Established in 2000, the firm is owned by Joan Rafel Socías Tomás, who serves as chief executive officer, and Narcís Socías Tomàs, the chief operating officer. The firm will serve the high-end real estate market throughout the Principality of Andorra.
“Our expansion into Andorra continues our commitment to providing access to the Sotheby’s International Realty® network’s exclusive real estate services in key countries within Europe and around the world,” said Philip White, president and chief executive officer, Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC. “Andorra is a booming market that is garnering local as well as international investor interest. It offers the opportunity to enjoy a unique mountain lifestyle in the middle of the Pyrenees on the border between Spain and France. In the winter it is a beautiful ski resort area, and in the summer, other outdoor activities as well.”
According to Lünenschloss, the firm offers clients a full service experience. “Andorra is one of the safest countries in the world and it offers a new and modern legal framework that makes it very interesting for international investors, entrepreneurs and public figures,” he said. “We help our clients to not only find the ideal property but also help with anything else they may need including working through the Andorran residency process, and connecting them to local resources and services like banks, tax advisors and lawyers. We focus on providing solutions and developing ideas to serve the needs of our clients. Our professional team offers support in multiple languages including Catalán, Spanish, French, Portuguese, English, German and Russian.”
The Sotheby’s International Realty® network currently has more than 16,500 sales associates located in approximately 760 offices in 60 countries and territories worldwide. Andorra Sotheby’s International Realty listings are marketed on the sothebysrealty.com global website. In addition to the referral opportunities and widened exposure generated from this source, the firm’s brokers and their clients will benefit from an association with the Sotheby’s® auction house and worldwide Sotheby’s International Realty® marketing programs. Each office is independently owned and operated.
