Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC today announced that it has signed an agreement with List International Realty Limited, which owns List Sotheby’s International Realty, to now represent the Sotheby’s International Realty® brand in Hong Kong. The firm will be led by President and CEO, Hisashi Kitami, who also leads List Sotheby’s International Realty operations in Japan, the Philippines, Hawaii, and Singapore.

List Sotheby’s International Realty is set to open its first office in Hong Kong in the second half of 2017. As previously announced, the firm also has plans to open in Bangkok, Thailand, within the next year.
“We have had a strong track record with the Sotheby’s International Realty brand and have since used this formula for success to expand into additional global markets,” said Kitami. “At List Sotheby’s International Realty, we serve the needs of clientele who seek to diversify their real estate assets across locations internationally and we are committed to setting the industry standard for excellence.”
