After a three-year search, Christie's International Real Estate has found its new Houston affiliate in Nan and Company Properties, led by President and CEO Nancy Almodovar.
According to a recent article by the Houston Business Journal, Christie’s – the luxury real estate branch of the London-based auction house – had to make sure they found the perfect company that would align with their own distinguished vision.
“Our focus is the best, the most expensive, the most luxurious,” said Rick Moeser, executive director of Christie’s International Real Estate. “We have buyers from Houston who purchase second homes in Florida and abroad. We also have Christie’s art clients who contact us for our real estate services. So we wanted to spend some time to find the right partner who would best serve Christie’s brand.”
When Nancy first approached Christie’s International Real Estate two years ago, Moeser frankly told her that he believed her company wasn’t the right fit but that he was interested in watching her business grow. After years of nonstop determination, Nan and Company Properties has become the industry leader for servicing buyers and sellers in the luxury market as well as foreign national clientele. Moeser recognized the rapid evolution of the dynamic Nan and Company Properties and agreed to join forces.
"Nancy brings her energy, her youth and her reliance on technology and all that it offers to Christie’s,” Moeser said in the HBJ article. “She has fresh approaches. She’s not entrenched in the old way of doing things.”
Nan and Company Properties will represent the brand in Greater Houston and Galveston. They will be able to advertise the city’s most beautiful million dollar homes on Christie's international platform, magazine, and website. Furthermore, agents are also invited to join Christie's in conferences and training alongside the company's other 135 global affiliates.
"Our affiliation with Christie's will further extend our reach globally and locally to best serve the Houston market," Almodovar said. "Words cannot accurately express how excited I am for this new venture!”
