Luxury real estate brand expands brokerage to greater Seattle area

One of the world’s most well-known luxury real estate brands has expanded to the greater Seattle area.

Christie’s International Real Estate’s new brokerage will be led by Kendra Ratcliff of the firm’s exclusive affiliate in Oregon and Washington, Luxe Christie’s International Real Estate; and Scott Wasner, a leading expert in luxury real estate in the greater Seattle region who joins from Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty in the region.

Christie’s identified the Seattle region as one of the markets to watch in a 2018 report due to its 70% year-over-year increase in luxury home sales.

“Kendra, along with Terry Sprague, has successfully built Luxe Christie’s International Real Estate into a market leader in Portland, Oregon,” said Dan Conn, CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate. “With proven luxury real estate advisory expertise, and a track record of collaborating with the Christie’s auction house and the global real estate network, Kendra and Terry are perfectly positioned to establish a brokerage in the large, dynamic and growing market of Seattle under the Christie’s International Real Estate brand with Scott. We are excited that Scott is joining Kendra and Terry to launch this new business.

The firm opened its first company brokerage in 2018 in New York City and has since expanded them to Aspen, Colorado, Northern New Jersey, and Westchester and the Hudson Valley in New York.

Its invitation-only affiliate network covers 49 countries and territories.
