Hilton & Hyland is AN AFFILIATE OF CHRISTIE'S GREAT ESTATES:
Christie's,
the world's oldest fine art auction house, was established in London in
1766 by James Christie, whose friends included some of the leading
artists of the time. Today, it conducts many of the most important
auctions in the world.
ver the course of more than two
centuries, Christie's has grown into an international organization of
119 offices in 42 countries. Each year, Christie's holds hundreds of
auctions in more than 80 categories, including silver, jewelry,
photography, wine, furniture, ceramics, stamps, comic books and
memorabilia, and, of course, fine paintings and sculpture.
Christie's
clients—those who buy and sell works of art, furniture, and
antiques—often requested real estate services. After careful and
thorough investigation, Christie's chose to acquire the operation of
Great Estates, Inc., founded in 1987, to fulfill client demand.
Christie's Great Estates, a wholly owned subsidiary of Christie's, was
formed in June 1995 following this acquisition.
Christie's
Great Estates is the largest international network of independent real
estate brokers specializing in the sale of important properties. The
network is comprised of more than 120 real estate firms with more than
500 offices and approximately 14,000 sales associates. Each real estate
firm is selected for affiliation through a careful screening process
that includes meeting stringent professional standards and
demonstrating proven records of success in handling distinctive
properties. The combined annual sales volume of all affiliate real
estate companies is approximately $50 billion.
