With a volume of $265.5M in 2025 and 44 sides, the group has demonstrated its ability to navigate the luxury market effectively. This shift may indicate a strategic effort to further leverage Sotheby's global network and prestige to serve the discerning clientele in Montecito.

The move from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS) to Sotheby's International Realty could signal a desire to tap into the international market, given Sotheby's extensive global presence.
