  SOTHEBY'S AUCTION HOUSE FOUNDED

  Since the founding of the Sotheby's Auction House in 1744 as an auction bookseller, the Sotheby's name has earned renown as a marketer of the world's most valuable and fine possessions. This reputation is built as much on exceptional service to clients as it is on the notable art, antiques, jewelry and other holdings that pass through Sotheby's offices around the world. It was out of this rich heritage that the Sotheby's International Realty® brand was born.

Bullock set a goal to create a different kind of real estate company that held the values of fairness, integrity and dependability in the highest regard. By 1976, their staff had doubled, and they opened the first official office in Northwest Hills.
