Welcome to Brazen Sotheby’s International Realty’s blog. Since this is our first entry, I want to spend some time telling you about all of the exciting changes our real estate brokerage has been a part of this year.

Joseph Brazen

In June, Sothebys International Realty announced our inclusion into the worlds premier luxury real estate network and Brazen Sotheby’s International Realty was born. Our affiliation with Sotheby’s only reinforces Brazen’s reputation as the premier real estate office in the Northwest. Sotheby’s recognizes that our commitment to our clients, our passion for the real estate profession, and our honest approach to negotiation mirrors the qualities they embody. We are thrilled to be part of the Sotheby’s brand.

Since this announcement our office has worked hard to incorporate Sotheby’s marketing initiatives into our own (including this new website and blog), and our clients are already benefiting from this effort. At a time when both the local and national real estate industries are feeling the pain of the weakening economy, our hard work at leveraging the Sotheby’s advantage has kept our listings growing and our clients receiving above-average returns on their real estate sales.

One indication of our continued success is the growth of our office since joining with Sotheby’s International Realty. Our office staff has grown. We have just hired 5 new highly qualified real estate professionals since June; Skip Hughes, Jennifer Helliker, Sophia McDonald, Mela Mamallo, and Jade Attar. Our company now totals 15. Each of these realtors brings industry-leading qualifications and experience to our office, giving us the strongest team of professionals in the Northwest. Please take a moment to browse our agent profiles on this website; I’m certain you’ll find a perfect fit for your next real estate purchase or sale.

This website also offers fantastic tools for people looking to buy or sell a home. The Real Estate Search page is an easy to use, intuitive interface bringing the Multiple Listing Service to your fingertips. We also provide a wealth of information about local schools, arts and entertainment, and commuting, as well as real estate specific resources for both buyers and sellers. You can learn more about our company, our agents, and what sets us apart from the myriad of other real estate offices in the region.

Thank you for reading my first entry! I will be adding to this blog often, drawing on my 30 years of real estate sales experience as I offer my thoughts on the local market, real estate issues, and life in the beautiful Northwest. If you have a real estate question you’d like answered or a comment you’d like to share please take a moment and to send it along.

Sincerely,

Joseph Brazen
President/ Broker
