July 14, 2011 // Franchising.com // PARSIPPANY, N.J. and TALLINN, ESTONIA -- Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC today announced its luxury real estate services are available for the first time in Estonia with the opening of Baltic Sotheby's International Realty in Tallinn.

The firm is owned by Vestards Rozenbergs, Leonid Kil and Ilze Mazurenko, who opened their first office in Riga, Latvia, in March 2010, followed by the opening of an office in the resort town of Jurmala in June 2010.

"Our expansion across the Baltic states underscores our commitment to providing access to our network's exclusive real estate services in key countries around the world," said Michael R. Good, chief executive officer, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC. "Tallinn is an exciting and dynamic real estate market and we are very pleased that our global clientele will have access to our luxury real estate services in this historic and vibrant city."

"The Sotheby's International Realty brand is known throughout the world for its quality of service," he said. "The market throughout the Baltic region remains stable for high-end properties and the demand exists in this strong economic region of Estonia. We offer extensive marketing campaigns, use the latest technology and believe in building strong teams of experienced real estate agents. The Estonian office will be led by Rauni Tillisoo, a seasoned real estate professional."
