How Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Amplifies the Power of a World-Leading Brand
In luxury real estate, scale matters—but only when it is paired with expertise, precision, and local insight.
That is where the true power of Sotheby’s International Realty comes to life.
In 2025, the brand once again demonstrated its global dominance, achieving $182.4 billion in sales volume and significantly outpacing the broader market—growing at more than triple the national average in the United States. This continued momentum, alongside its 50-year legacy, reinforces Sotheby’s International Realty as the benchmark for luxury real estate worldwide.
But global reach alone isn’t what defines success.
It’s how that reach translates locally.
