ong Kong, January 29, 2025 - Christie's International Real Estate has expanded its presence in East Asia with the launch of Christie's International Real Estate Hong Kong. Led by Samson Law, a Hong Kong native with over three decades of local real estate experience, the new venture will operate from Admiralty district and plans to double its agent count within the year.

    Law brings extensive knowledge of the market, having founded several boutique real estate firms, including online property search pioneer HongKongHomes.com. His proprietary database, assembled over two decades, is one of Hong Kong's most comprehensive and accurate, providing a key differentiator for the new firm.

    As an affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate, the firm will benefit from national and international exposure through the brand's global luxury network, which spans 50 countries and territories. Clients will also enjoy exclusive marketing partnerships with Christie's, the world-leading art and luxury business.

    Hong Kong is a significant hub for Christie's in Asia Pacific, accounting for $725 million in auction sales in 2024 - 26% of the auction house's worldwide total. The new affiliate will work closely with Christie's to leverage synergies between the worlds of art, luxury goods, and high-end real estate.

    Law is cautiously optimistic about 2025, citing continuous economic expansion in mainland China as a positive influence on market dynamics in Hong Kong. He notes that any decline in interest rates will trigger a surge in activity, and Hong Kong's ability to bounce back quickly makes it an attractive market.

    The launch of Christie's International Real Estate Hong Kong follows the company's expansion into Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam in 2024. The new affiliate also benefits from Compass' network of over 30,000 US real estate agents, providing a potentially rich referral pipeline for Christie's International Real Estate Hong Kong.
