Sotheby's International Realty Brand Expands Presence into Andorra
MADISON, N.J. and ANDORRA, March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC today announced that Finques 3 Cases in Andorra has joined its luxury real estate network and now will do business as Andorra Sotheby's International Realty.
Established in 2000, the firm is owned by Joan Rafel Socias Tomas, who serves as chief executive officer, and Narcis Socias Tomas, the chief operating officer. Ralph Luenenschloss is responsible for international business. The firm will serve the high-end real estate market throughout the Principality of Andorra.
"Our expansion into Andorra continues our commitment to providing access to the Sotheby's International Realty network's exclusive real estate services in key countries within Europe and around the world," said Philip White, president and chief executive officer, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC. "Andorra is a booming market that is garnering local as well as international investor interest. It offers the opportunity to enjoy a unique mountain lifestyle in the middle of the Pyrenees on the border between Spain and France. In the winter it is a beautiful ski resort area, and in the summer, other outdoor activities as well."

"Andorra is one of the safest countries in the world and it offers a new and modern legal framework that makes it very interesting for international investors, entrepreneurs and public figures," he said. "We help our clients to not only find the ideal property but also help with anything else they may need including working through the Andorran residency process, and connecting them to local resources and services like banks, tax advisors and lawyers. We focus on providing solutions and developing ideas to serve the needs of our clients. Our professional team offers support in multiple languages including Catalan, Spanish, French, Portuguese, English, German and Russian."
