Sotheby’s Realty Debuts in San Diego
Owners of luxury real estate in San Diego should be celebrating because of the long-awaited arrival of Sotheby’s International Realty. It’s been a long time coming, but luxury listings in San Diego County will now reach the plasma displays at Sotheby’s Auctions throughout the world. Passing by the Sotheby’s real estate desk, an equestrian property in Rancho Santa Fe might tweak the interest of buyers attending a contemporary art sale in London–or an Asian Art auction in Hong Kong. A Del Mar oceanfront estate might capture the bidding fancies of venture capitalists and oil barons who are simultaneously vying for masterpiece tapestries at Sotheby’s Auction in New York.
Sotheby’s has long known and practiced the old adage of being in the right place at the right time. And that likely explains Sotheby’s recent investment in San Diego’s Villa Sotheby’s International. Within their discreet, newly-opened and well-appointed office in the Del Mar Plaza, luxury real estate legend Bob Dyson is orchestrating the opening of San Diego’s first Sotheby’s real estate office.
Plasma screens, i-Macs, and cutting edge technologies merge elegantly with the Sotheby’s fine tastes and traditions. And with a market perspective that comes from being in business sine 1744, Sotheby’s understands the gyrations of markets and has decided that now is the time to finally expand into Southern California and Las Vegas. With Bob Dyson at the helm, Sotheby’s is able to tap top real estate talent who will be able to represent the luxury real estate markets in San Diego (Del Mar and Poway initially), Palm Springs, Palm Desert and Garner Valley– as well as fine communities in the Las Vegas area.
It is also with much excitement that we announce our recent affiliation with the San Diego Villa Sotheby’s International Realty in the Del Mar Plaza at 1555 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014. We can still be reached toll free a 877-818-8197 or via my cell at 760-402-9101.
Cheers!

Thanks so much! Villa Sotheby’s International Realty may be new to the San Diego real estate market, but we have worked with Bob and Loraine Dyson in the past when they ran San Diego’s premier boutique luxury real estate firm.
It feels like home!
