Christie’s International Real Estate Invites Blackstream To Join Exclusive Global Network

Greenville, S.C. – Nestled in the shadows of the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville, S.C., famously combines a vibrant urban scene – bustling with art, music, theater and open spaces – and a small town aesthetic. Once the textile capital of the world, the city completely transformed itself. Greenville has recently been cited in the national press as one the country’s best downtown areas, noted for its growing job market, its attraction to young professionals, and an ideal place to pursue the outdoor lifestyle with golf, hiking, cycling, whitewater and more in close proximity.

BlackStream has been selected to market luxury real estate under the Christie’s brand in this vibrant and growing market. Ford Elliot, CEO of BlackStream, has been a market leader in the city’s commercial market and recently expanded the company to accommodate a growing number of incoming inquiries for residential real estate support. A new office, with 7,000 square feet of Class A space, will open in February for both the company’s commercial and residential divisions.

“Ford’s commitment to exceptional client service is in keeping with these same core values that Christie’s has prided itself on for 250 years. Ford is also forward thinking and has proven to be an expert in the luxury sector, especially in these important emerging luxury and Millennial markets. His new company will be a strong addition to our international network.”
- Rick Moeser, Executive Director, Christie’s International Real Estate

BlackStream fully leveraged its new Affiliation by participating as a sponsor for last month’s Art Miami. Christie’s International Real Estate and select Affiliates are the exclusive real estate sponsors for this international art event attracting collectors and potential buyers of important real estate.

"The fact that Christie's International Real Estate is in 45 countries aligns with the national recognition that the Upstate is receiving. Our company is honored to join the world's leading luxury brand."

– Ford Elliot, CEO, BlackStream
