Long & Foster now serves as the exclusive Christie’s International Real Estate Affiliate throughout the entire Commonwealth of Virginia, including in Richmond and the surrounding counties. With this addition, Long & Foster represents the Christie’s brand virtually everywhere it does business, from southern Virginia to the New Jersey shore.

This expanded affiliation, combined with Long & Foster’s award-winning luxury homes program, increases the strength and reach of our international network, as well as our status as the No. 1 seller of luxury properties in the Mid-Atlantic region.”

Wholly owned by Christie’s, the world’s leading art business, Christie’s International Real Estate is an invitation-only Affiliate network comprised of 138 leading luxury real estate firms in 47 countries. Long & Foster already exclusively represented the Christie’s brand in the Northern Virginia market, as well as throughout Delaware, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Additionally, Long & Foster is the Christie’s International Real Estate Affiliate for dozens of counties and cities throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and West Virginia. The real estate firm holds the title of largest Affiliate brokerage in the network, a status Long & Foster has earned through its leading market share and achievement of service excellence.
