HERITAGE
Sotheby’s first-ever sale was that of a library of several hundred scarce and valuable books in all branches of literature.
HERITAGE A REVERENTIAL HERITAGE
Since the founding of the Sotheby’s Auction House in 1744, the Sotheby’s name has earned renown as a purveyor of the world’s most valuable and prestigious possessions. This reputation is built as much upon exceptional service to clients as on the notable art, antiques, jewelry and other holdings that pass through Sotheby’s offices around the world. Our association with the Sotheby's Brand is what truly sets us apart because it is more than just an Auction House. It’s the ultimate destination where collectors gather to indulge their desires and share their knowledge for the fine things in life.

PRICING
INFLUENCING THE SALE OF YOUR PROPERTY Market research assists in determining the value of your property. The comparative market analysis considers comparable active, sold and expired listings. Your property value is closely tied to the history of prices in your region. Your property will need to be uniquely positioned to create maximum interest and help produce the highest possible financial return. Ultimately, the selling price will be determined not only by comparable properties but by current buyers. Buyers will establish the “worthâ€? that your property holds for them. Although the listing price you place on your property will influence its sale, there are many other factors that come into play. Some of these factors are within your control, others are not. Examples include: FACTORS NOT WITHIN YOUR CONTROL Š 6KQN LNKLANPU†O HK?=PEKJ Š /A?AJP LNKLANPU I=NGAP R=HQAO Š QNNAJP A?KJKIE?
