Crest Sotheby’s International Realty Luxury service at all price points Words: Aaron Schmidt • Photos: Zach Cordner Located in the heart of Magnolia Center , Crest Sotheby’s International Realty is Riverside’s premier international luxury brokerage. Owner and Broker Rob Murray is a born and bred Riverside native who opened Murray Real Estate in 1988. After 30 years of helping countless clients buy and sell their dream homes, Murray decided to join forces with Sotheby’s International Realty. “Originally, we were going to franchise as “Murray Sotheby’s International Realty,” but I quickly learned the Sotheby’s name was much bigger than mine, so “Crest Sotheby’s International Realty” was born,” said Murray. With 35 experienced/professional agents on the team, Crest Sotheby’s International Realty is dedicated to providing its clients with personalized service and local expertise. They stay with their clients from the moment they set up their first appointment to closing the sale and beyond. It’s those agent/client interactions formed during the buying/selling process that forge long-lasting relationships. Having 1,000 oces in 75 countries gives Crest Sotheby’s International Realty the advantage of being the only brokerage in Riverside with “true” international marketing exposure, along with a global relocation network-no other franchises can compare. As a result, they can connect buyers moving anywhere in the world with a professional Sotheby’s Realtor. That, along with their high standards for marketing materials, photography, virtual tours, social media, video, and global website sets them apart. “Even though we’re an international luxury brokerage, we represent properties at all prices. Our expression is “luxury service at all price points,” explained Murray. “In addition to our international listing exposure and state-of-the-art marketing, it’s our culture that sets us apart from other brokerages. Our agents and sta define our culture-we’re focused on demonstrating professionalism, integrity, and innovation to our clients to help them live an exceptional life. Unlike other real estate brokerages, we are not a body count company, only those with the highest standards and ethics are hired.” Crest Sotheby’s International Realty is a very community-driven business deeply involved and invested in Riverside. Their agents donate time, money, and energy to local community charities and foundations. “We donate to Path of Life Charities-a non-profit service agency committed to meeting the needs of the community by serving the greater Riverside area’s homeless, challenged youth, and family populations. Our agents are also involved in the Chamber of Commerce, Riverside Community Hospital, among other community organizations,” said Murray.
