In today’s increasingly connected world, Maine real estate extends far beyond local markets. Buyers are discovering Maine from across the country and around the globe, while many of our clients are also making moves beyond the state. While we serve as local experts and a trusted real estate resource throughout Maine, we are equally positioned to support our clients’ real estate needs nationally and globally through the strength of our network. Our clients’ needs evolve beyond our immediate territory, often extending to markets such as Florida, New York, and beyond, creating a constant flow of opportunity in both directions. The ability to guide these transitions seamlessly, and connect clients with trusted professionals wherever they go, has never been more important.
The True Value of Referrals
One of the most powerful advantages of the Sotheby’s International Realty network lies in its referral system. In 2025, the network generated nearly $7 billion in global referrals, high-quality, relationship-driven opportunities that connect buyers and sellers with trusted advisors, wherever they are in the world.
For our clients, this means confidence. Whether relocating to another state, purchasing a second home abroad, or selling a property internationally, we are able to provide a seamless introduction to a vetted professional who upholds the same standard of service and expertise.
For our agents, it represents meaningful growth, expanding beyond local markets and tapping into a truly global client base.
“Our global network empowers Sotheby’s International Realty affiliated agents to seamlessly serve clients anywhere in the world,” said Tammy Fahmi, Senior Vice President of Global Servicing and Strategy for Sotheby’s International Realty. “By facilitating high-quality, trust-based referrals across markets, we’re not only expanding opportunities for our network but driving meaningful results for their clients—turning global connections into measurable growth.”
A Global Network That Delivers Results
With more than 1,100 offices across 86 countries and territories and nearly 26,000 sales associates, the network offers an unparalleled platform for collaboration and client service at the highest level.
“The brand’s sustained growth is the result of a deliberate global strategy—expanding into key markets, strengthening the connections within our network, and delivering exceptional referral opportunities that drive meaningful results. Coupled with our industry-leading marketing platform that showcases extraordinary properties to a truly global audience, we empower our affiliated sales professionals to connect discerning buyers and sellers across borders. ” said Philip White, President and CEO of Sotheby’s International Realty.
From Maine’s coastal communities to major metropolitan markets and international destinations, our reach extends far beyond our immediate region. Through the Sotheby’s International Realty network, we are able to connect clients not only across the United States, but across the world.
Visibility That Reaches the Right Audience
In addition to its global footprint, Sotheby’s International Realty offers one of the most powerful marketing platforms in the industry. With more than 1.38 million social media followers and approximately 42 million annual website visits, the brand ensures that properties are showcased to a highly engaged, international audience.
“Our ability to consistently reach and engage a global audience speaks to the strength of our marketing, storytelling, and digital strategy,” said Bradley Nelson, Chief Marketing Officer, Sotheby’s International Realty. “We continue to invest in platforms and content that helps elevate agents, showcase extraordinary properties, and connect with today’s globally minded luxury consumer.”
If you or someone you know is considering a move beyond Maine, we are here to connect you, locally and nationally.
