August 12, 2014 // Franchising.com // Madison, N.J.- Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC today announced that one of its affiliates in Texas, Kuper Sotheby's International Realty, has acquired Amelia Bullock Realtors in Austin, expanding the brand's presence in the state. Amelia Bullock Realtors' two locations in Austin now will operate as Kuper Sotheby's International Realty.

Harry J. Kuper is broker/owner of Kuper Sotheby's International Realty, which now has eight total offices in Texas with this addition: three in San Antonio, one in Boerne and four in Austin.

"Kuper Sotheby's International Realty has earned a reputation for quality service," said Philip White, president and chief executive officer, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC. "Amelia Bullock is a family-owned business like Kuper Sotheby's International Realty and has been operating for 45 years. Together, I believe that the combination of these two outstanding firms will make an even greater impact in the Austin market. We are proud to now have a total of 22 Sotheby's International Realty offices in Texas."

According to J. Kuper, principal broker and owner, Kuper Sotheby's International Realty, the firm's expansion under the Sotheby's International Realty brand helps solidify their position as a market leader. "As Austin becomes an even greater international city, the support of the Sotheby's International Realty brand has become that much more critical," he said. "We see extraordinary value in this brand and the tools and resources it provides. We proudly welcome Amelia Bullock Realtors' associates to our organization and their longstanding reputation for excellence."
