Did you know that @properties Christie’s International Real Estate connects clients not only to the area’s finest homes but also to the world’s most coveted artworks and luxury objects? That’s because, as the owner of the Christie’s International Real Estate global brand and network, @properties has a direct relationship with Christie’s the world-leading auction house. So, we are able to offer real estate clients special access to auction, private-sale, and appraisal services. Whether looking to sell or acquire art, jewelry, watches, handbags, rare wines and spirits, furniture or other collectibles, this relationship provides another layer to the services @properties Christie’s International Real Estate clients enjoy.

But even if you’re not in the market for a Warhol, Crocodile Birkin Bag or Rolex Paul Newman, a robust auction market has made for an exciting year to spectate from the sidelines. In fact, much like the luxury housing market, Christie’s enjoyed many record-breaking sales during the first half of 2022. Total auction house sales were up 18 percent vs. the first half of 2021 to $4.1 billion, and Christie’s accounted for seven of the twelve most expensive works sold during this time.

Estimated at over $1 billion, Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection will be the largest and most exceptional art auction in history. Proceeds will benefit various charities.
