Am I allowed to have my own website as a Sotheby's International Realty associate?
Yes. Associates are independent contractors, and individual associate sites generally need your managing broker’s review rather than corporate compliance submission. We build to the brand’s exacting trademark standards — the full “[Office DBA] Sotheby’s International Realty” treatment, the required disclosures, and the logo lock-ups — so it passes that review cleanly.
Will my listings show up?
Your active MLS listings, yes — via an IDX feed your managing broker authorizes, with the brand attribution and disclaimers in place. Off-MLS exclusives held during a private or pre-market phase stay off any outside site by design.
Do I have to leave the brand or change my tools?
No. Your site runs alongside the global network, the brand marketing suite, and your affiliate’s CRM. It’s your public front door, not a replacement for any of it — and your affiliation is untouched.
What happens to my site if I move offices or brands?
It’s on your own domain — it stays with you. We simply update your brokerage affiliation and the brand treatment to match.
How is this different from my associate profile?
That page is the brand’s, templated, on a shared domain the brand won’t even link individual associate sites from. This is yours — built for Google and AI search, and portable for life.
I'm at @properties or a Christie's office — does this apply to me?
Yes. The same holds at @properties Christie’s International Real Estate: your profile lives at atproperties.com/agents/[id]/your-name on the brokerage domain, your active MLS listings can display via IDX, and we keep the At World Properties / Christie’s marks used correctly. Your owned site runs alongside pl@tform, never against it.
