The addition of the Byron Bay office enables the company&nbsp;to further service their clients in <span class=\"xn-location\">New South Wales<\/span>, and I am thrilled to support their growth.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We saw an opportunity to break into the rural and lifestyle real estate sector of Byron Bay and its surrounds,&quot; said Pallier. &quot;While the real estate market is highly competitive, we understand our clients&#8217; properties were once livelihoods or dream homes, and we want to represent that as best as we can. Our company provides solid real estate knowledge, a tailored level of service, and global marketing opportunities through our affiliation with Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the opening of the Byron Bay office, Michael and James have had a 25-year history of working together, where they launched Sydney Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty 10 years ago and have consistently broken sales records for many significant luxury homes and rural properties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty&reg; network currently has nearly 26,000 affiliated independent sales associates located in over 1,000 offices in 81 countries and territories worldwide. Byron Bay Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty listings are marketed on the sothebysrealty.com global website. In addition to the referral opportunities and widened exposure generated from this source, the firm&#8217;s brokers and clients will benefit from an association with Sotheby&#8217;s auction house and worldwide <i>Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty<\/i> marketing programs. Each office is independently owned and operated.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty was founded in 1976 as a real estate service for discerning clients of Sotheby&#8217;s auction house.

In <span class=\"xn-chron\">February 2004<\/span>, Anywhere Real Estate Inc. entered a long-term strategic alliance with Sotheby&#8217;s, the operator of the auction house.
