EWM Realty International Receives Affiliate-of-the-Year Award

New York, New York - Christie's International Real Estate, the world’s leading luxury real estate network, has named South Florida-based EWM Realty International as its Affiliate-of-the-Year for 2012. The award recognizes excellence in branding, marketing and innovation throughout the Christie’s International Real Estate network.  

Since being awarded affiliate status in 2001, EWM Realty International has been an integral member of the Christie’s International Real Estate network, which is comprised of more than 25,000 real estate professionals across 40 countries. The award was presented at a gala dinner as part of the network’s Global Annual Conference for owners and senior management, held recently in Miami Beach, Florida.

“EWM Realty led the way in 2012 in all aspects of marketing its Christie’s affiliation,” said Bonnie Stone Sellers, CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate. “The Miami-based firm was instrumental in its leadership and efforts to spearhead the network’s participation as the ‘Exclusive Luxury Real Estate Sponsor’ for Art Miami and Art Wynwood, and has been a strong supporter of our Bespoke Marketing Program to market ultra high-end residences worldwide. EWM is truly an international industry leader.”

“The benefits of our affiliation with Christie’s to our Realtors cannot be overstated,” added Ron Shuffield, President of EWM Realty International. “It positions our organization within the high-end arena in a way no other brand could. Plus, the increase in co-branding of fine art with real estate has been an ideal positioning tool with our clients. This is truly a win/win relationship.”
