Just as Christie’s represents many of the world’s most extraordinary art, Christie’s International Real Estate represents many of the world’s most extraordinary properties. “It is always a pleasure to introduce luxury homebuyers who may not be current art collectors to Christie’s as well as introduce both new and seasoned art collectors to the world of luxury real estate,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle.

“Christie’s affiliated global luxury brands offer significant cross-marketing opportunities that provide greater exposure to a broader luxury clientele versus what traditional real estate companies offer,” explains Kendra Ratcliff, co-founder and COO for Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “Collaboration across the global Christie’s network opens up more opportunities to provide superior real estate advisory services to our clients.”

A condominium home at the Four Seasons Private Residence in Seattle, which sold for an impressive $9.5 million in October 2020, is a wonderful example of how Christie’s many facets work together as a seamless team. Wasner worked closely on the marketing and sale of this property with Ellanor Roberts Notides, Christie’s Auction House’s esteemed West Coast chairman, who oversees private art collections for high-profile clients.

The property was the home of the late Virginia Wright, a prominent philanthropist and significant art collector. “The joint marketing program between the auction house and our real estate brokerage created a buzz around the property and garnered attention from high-net-worth buyers worldwide,” says Wasner. “It was an unparalleled effort which led to a near record- breaking sale price. The Wright family was very pleased not only with the sale price of the home and how quickly it sold and closed but also with the extraordinary collaboration we had with the auction house.”

“Whether a client is based in Hong Kong and searching for a vacation home in the San Juan Islands or a local client is interested in a second home in Aspen, Jackson Hole or Palm Springs, our global relationships give us extraordinary access to exclusive properties,” remarks Wasner. “You’ll receive not only our team’s passionate expertise, discretion and exceptional client service, but you’ll have 255 years of Christie’s unparalleled reputation on your side.”

Located northwest of downtown Seattle, Queen Anne is an affluent neighborhood where grand, old mansions neighbor Craftsman bungalows, and residents enjoy a bevy of amenities including many of the city’s best parks, museums and gardens, award-winning restaurants, and high-end boutique shopping.

“Queen Anne is one of Seattle’s most desirable neighborhoods,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “It’s a wonderfully self-contained neighborhood.”

“Not only do you have a superb selection of homes, but Queen Anne’s location is nothing but ideal,” continues Wasner. The Queen Anne district is nestled next to Lake Union, a freshwater lake in the heart of Seattle where kayakers, paddle boarders and others can enjoy time on the calm water while those who prefer the views can enjoy the walking trails, parks and many restaurants that dot the shore.

Just blocks from Lake Union are the Seattle headquarters for Google, Amazon and Facebook, while the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Seattle Center, the city’s civic, arts and events center, are located in the Lower Queen Anne district. And if you’ve ever seen a photo of the Space Needle with the city in the background, it was likely taken from the top of Queen Anne Hill, Seattle’s highest point.

“Our clients love Queen Anne for so many reasons,” Wasner says. “It’s a cosmopolitan area that reminds many of the Pacific Heights neighborhood in San Francisco. Multi-million dollar homes, views to die for and the best the city has to offer - that’s Queen Anne.”
