Clarke
& Scott joins forces with global realty giant
Dubai, UAE; Dubai-based Gulf Sotheby’s
International
Realty, a franchise of
the world’s largest luxury realty network Sotheby’s International Realty, has reached an agreement with
Clarke & Scott Real Estate in order to further strengthen their network of
specialist agents as part of its newly introduced Management Agreement model.
In
line with Gulf Sotheby’s International Realty regional development strategy, this
model allows for practised agencies with a solid market presence to combine
knowledge and further strengthen their networks and market reach.
Clarke
& Scott will retain 100% ownership and their trade license, allowing them
to maintain independent operations whilst marketing under the Gulf Sotheby’s International
Realty brand and benefitting from access to international stock and exclusive
developments.
Clarke
& Scott, a British-run real estate brokerage headed by industry experts Wezley
Clarke and Scott Mitchell, is well-known for its wide-spanning industry intelligence,
local influence, and specialisation, particularly within the off-plan market sector where they have secured a solid standing
amongst major developers across Dubai.
Clarke
& Scott will bring a wealth of experience to the Gulf Sotheby’s International
Realty team and in return, become part of a prestigious international structure
of realty connoisseurs, with a reputation for making some of the largest – and
most significant – property deals ever recorded.
“After lengthy discussions with Gulf Sotheby’s International
Realty, it makes perfect sense to combine forces. Gulf Sotheby’s is the biggest
name in the realm of luxury real estate; this strategic tie-up will allow
Clarke & Scott to reach new levels of global exposure with full access to
one of the largest international networks. We plan to leverage this partnership,
together with our specific experience garnered over the years, to further
develop the business,” said Wezley Clarke of Clarke & Scott.
George Azar, Chairman and CEO of Gulf Sotheby’s
International Realty adds, “Clarke
& Scott are a well-established
and valued brand name; they are forward thinkers who
appreciate that by combining forces, they will have access to a larger market
share. This model offered to the agency is based on recognition of their achievements
within the local market and is only offered to brokerages that we know and
respect. Only companies that fulfill certain criteria can partner with us, and Clarke & Scott are a
prime example of a clear ‘fit’.”
A
proven business model throughout Sotheby’s offices across the world, the
Management Agreement business model offers entrepreneurial flexibility, whilst
allowing partners to leverage the prestige associated with the brand name and
offer operations support, business development opportunities and a platform for
enhanced client servicing.
