    Perth, Western Australia and Chicago, October 28, 2024 - Christie's International Real Estate is expanding its presence in Australia with a new affiliate in Western Australia and South Australia. Led by Shelley Scorer, the multinational team will serve Perth and Adelaide, as well as the surrounding countryside, which is home to many world-renowned vineyards.

    As an affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate, the new brokerage will offer clients access to global marketing and networking opportunities spanning nearly 50 countries and territories. The seven-person team has extensive experience in luxury real estate, private property projects, and international finance, with a combined 25+ years of expertise.

    To cater to the growing number of international buyers, the firm includes agents from the UAE, Italy, Brazil, and Russia, as well as an on-site expert specializing in Russian transactions. The office will also collaborate with local artists through the Western Australian Private Collection - Sky Gallery.

    Western Australia and South Australia have become safe havens for luxury investors seeking financial growth, with a steady stream of interest since the pandemic. However, the local brokerage industry remains relatively provincial, making Christie's International Real Estate an important addition to the market.

    "Our partnership with Christie's International Real Estate gives us access to a global network and world-class marketing," Scorer explains. "We can now deliver the highest level of service to our clients, no matter where they're from in the world."

    Perth is considered one of the most livable cities globally, offering a temperate climate, beautiful beaches, and top-notch healthcare and education. Luxury properties in Perth range from AU$1.5 million to AU$30 million, with some of the most sought-after homes located in the western suburbs.

    South Australia's capital city, Adelaide, is known for its natural beauty and cultural festivals. With a thriving economy and relatively affordable prices, Adelaide has seen significant growth in recent years, making it an attractive destination for luxury buyers.

    "Shelley and her team have extensive knowledge of the region, and we're excited to partner with them to bring Christie's International Real Estate's expertise to this emerging market," said Helena Moyas de Forton, Managing Director of EMEA and APAC at Christie's International Real Estate.
