The story

Christie’s International Real Estate was founded in 1987 as Great Estates.

In 1995, the Great Estates brand was acquired by Christie’s, the London-based auction house, and in 2011, Christie’s changed the name from Christie’s Great Estates to Christie’s International Real Estate.

In December 2021, a venture led by Mike Golden and Thad Wong, co-founders of @properties, acquired Christie’s International Real Estate from Christie’s, entering into a long-term global brand licensing agreement.

In 2024, it was acquired by Compass, Inc. for $444 million.

In January 2025, Compass completed its acquisition of @properties Christie's International Real Estate.
