Seasoned real estate executive Melissa True took a New York Minute out of her crowded schedule to show us around Christie’s International Real Estate Group’s new Flatiron office.
“What makes Christie’s unique in the New York City marketplace is a combination of a global reach, an incredibly historical brand, combined with an independently owned brokerage with a real family feel and a sense of collaboration and community,” says True, who is building the team that calls the new Flatiron office home. “We’re all a family. We want to help these agents take their business to the next level.”
As Team Leader, True leverages her wealth of experience and the advantages that come along with the Christie’s International Real Estate Group brand to give agents the support they need to take over their corner of the tri-state market.
“Agents are really looking for not only sophistication, but support that matters,” says True. “What I’m seeing agents longing for is a return to sensible support from the brokerage that they partner with.”
Christie’s International Real Estate Group combines the rich history and expansive global network of the Christie’s brand with hands-on mentoring, marketing support and cutting-edge tech to create a unique environment in which agents can thrive. It’s a formula that has allowed the brokerage to expand across the five boroughs, thriving from the city to suburbs. With more than 30 offices and 1,200 associates across the tri-state area, the firm provides agents with local, regional and global support and growth opportunities. The firm also provides agents with unique referral opportunities with Christie’s Auction house, including for properties, private sales and content referrals.
“The brand’s history, its experience, its sophistication and sense of luxury,” says True, “are something that benefit both clients worldwide and the agents in opening doors and building business for them in the New York City Real Estate landscape.”
