Christie’s International Real Estate Announces it is Seeking New Affiliate Relationship in The Houston Market for First Time in 18 Years

Christie’s International Real Estate (CIRE) today announced that it is actively exploring opportunities to establish a new affiliate relationship in the Houston, Texas market for the first time in 18 years. CIRE’s affiliate in Houston until recently had been Martha Turner Properties. 

CIRE’s Chief Executive Officer, Bonnie Stone Sellers, said, “Martha Turner has been a formidable force in the Houston real estate market for over three decades and a valued CIRE affiliate for the last 18 years.  We have had a mutually productive relationship and the CIRE organization has tremendous respect for all Martha has accomplished over her career.  We wish her well in all her future endeavors.”

“Houston is a vibrant market in which discerning real estate and art clients of Christie’s are accustomed to the high quality service and expertise we provide, and we are excited about the future opportunities for these two complementary businesses in Houston,” continued Sellers.  “Our goal is to move with deliberate speed to establish a new affiliate relationship that meets our high standards and which is capable of delivering the breadth and level of quality service that our clients expect.”     

Only the most accomplished real estate brokers at the top of their markets are invited to join CIRE’s Affiliate network and an exhaustive vetting procedure is undertaken that examines all aspects of a potential affiliate’s business, their history, their character, and their potential.
