OUR BRAND
Our Heritage Recognized worldwide, the prestige of the Sotheby’s brand is unparalleled. The acclaimed Sotheby’s auction house, established in 1744 in London for collectors of art and other fine possessions, expanded to New York City in 1955. Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty inherited this iconic brand name, building on its centuries-long legacy by delivering unrivaled real estate services. Our reputation for quality service and expertise is unmatched. This is our unique difference. The properties represented by our network are exclusively featured in Sotheby’s auction house marketing programs, including high-profile client events, plus showcased in their signature publications, digital newsletters, and on sothebys.com. So while our brand is uniquely local, our reach is global and that means more exposure that connects sellers with qualified homebuyers all around the world.

The Local Experts Since 1972 Kuper Realty Corporation was founded in 1972 by Charles Kuper Sr. and his son Charles Jr. (Charlie) to facilitate the sales and marketing of their personal commercial real estate ventures in San Antonio. In 1976, Kathleen Kuper joined her husband and son with the intention of establishing the best service-oriented, residential real estate firm in the city. She brought her drive, dedication, and integrity combined with her gracious personality to the company, creating a unique culture that has carried through to today. That local legacy then combined with the Sotheby’s International Realty brand as the regional affiliate for Central Texas in 1978, taking the power of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty to the next level. It is our mission to be the leader of luxury real estate in Texas by providing service that exceeds expectations, delivering knowledge that surpasses the competition, and presenting progressive marketing and innovative technology that outperforms the industry demand.

3D Property Tours Our 360 VR capture system renders a listing’s interiors as 3D models, which you can walk through and look around in an immersive virtual reality environment. These tours create a photorealistic experience of a property, while leveraging the 3D data to give viewers a sense of physical presence—creating the feeling of truly being in the space.
Immersive Listing Video Homebuyers are engaging with video in every element of their online experience—websites, social networks, and on their TVs. Research tells us that the longer someone is on a website, the more likely they are to inquire about a property. Video provides a truly immersive and engaging experience for the consumer unlike a photo ever could.
Virtual Staging With virtual home staging, we can inspire buyers and help them better imagine their future home, all while standing out from the monotony of the competition. In fact, 83% of buyer’s agents say staging made it easier for their client to visualize the property as their home.
Kuper Ad Intelligence We utilize artificial intelligence and big data in social media advertising to drive qualified potential buyers to homes showcased on our website. Properties on kuperrealty.com are automatically advertised on social media through our Kuper Ad Intelligence program. This powerful platform identifies people who are searching specifically for your type of home and shows them your property’s ad. Kuper Ad Intelligence collects and analyzes all that data in real time so we can show your property to the people most likely to buy it right now.
Engaging E-Marketing “E-blast” is another word to describe a digital flyer that is sent out online to targeted e-mail addresses in order to advertise your new listing. E-blasts allow us to advertise your property to a large number of qualified agents and potential buyers, all while highlighting things like video, virtual tours, and professional photography in a beautiful and compelling way.
Virtual Showings The demand for video and chat software has increased exponentially to ensure a potential buyer is able to effectively view and evaluate the home even if they can’t physically be there. Our agents are skilled in the top platforms that can execute virtual showings for all of our clients.
Media Partnerships & Targeted Advertising Sotheby’s International Realty has exclusive advertising partnerships with the most significant media companies and real estate-focused websites in the world.

Renderings & 3D Animation 3D Renderings can express the highest level of emotion and detail about a project. Kuper Creative’s ultra-realistic renderings stand apart from others in their intensity, fidelity, and story-telling. Kuper Creative crafts renderings that reveal the true nature of the project’s brand and lifestyle. High-impact animations provide a tangible, illustrative vision of the project. Each high-fidelity animation scene includes multiple camera angles of the space providing the feeling of a 3D walkthrough.
Photography & Videography Beyond renderings, actual photography and videography can be impactful for a project in many ways. When the product is at a stage to be photographed, Kuper Creative can coordinate professional photography and video shoots to capture the project. In addition to that, it’s also important to utilize photography and videography to capture the lifestyle in and around the project. Oftentimes, an engaging video highlighting the area and its amenities can help to capture what it would be like to truly live there.
Social Media Management Our Social Media program brings your development to the next level. It is imperative for a development to use social media in marketing their project and their lifestyle as it is a medium to connect to the community and reach new clients. While any project can have a social media account, it’s not always clear how to use social media as a tool to send the right message to the right people at the right time, and it’s not always easy to keep your pages up to date. Kuper Creative’s social media management program can offer a solution for the three most important social media channels for developments—Facebook, Instagram, and Linkedin—that combines curated content for the development in tandem with specific project updates to create robust, evergreen profiles
Graphic Design Each development project is unique, and because of that Kuper Creative is equipped to execute creative projects of varying degrees. BROCHURES A concise project presentation including information on the project, location, floor plans, services, amenities, and the team can be customized for the project. E-MARKETING An e-blast serves as an informative digital touch-point that keeps the property top-ofmind for prospective buyers and brokers. Each e-blast provides details on a specific element of the property as a stand alone collateral piece, yet collectively they provide a broader engaging narrative. Custom digital newsletter campaigns can also be created. DIRECT MAIL Direct mail delivers the strongest return on investment for customer acquisition for B2C marketers. Kuper Creative can design stand-out postcards and other direct mail items to be sent to curated lists of potential buyers. ADVERTISEMENTS A strong ad campaign can evoke curiosity and interest in a property. Kuper Creative will craft a compelling ad campaign that highlights the property’s key attributes and provides strong messaging and positioning to prospective buyers across channels.
Public Relations Kuper Creative can employ a professional public relations strategy to gain exposure in targeted media outlets for prospective buyers to learn about the development. The objective of a custom PR plan is to promote the project to local, national, and, if appropriate, international publications that spotlight luxury real estate. Utilizing our local PR professional, along with the public relations team at Sotheby’s International Realty and the Texas Newswire, will ensure the news of the project reaching all relevant media partners.
Event Management Well-executed events can be one of the most effective ways to market a development. Kuper Creative’s extensive experience in event management will ensure that every step from conceptualization, promotion, and execution of an event will be successful. We can create experiences both big and small, from private functions for 25 to extravagant celebrations with hundreds of attendees.
