26 Junio 2024 - 10:45AM
Christie's International Real Estate Sereno, Northern California's
largest locally owned and operated independent real estate
brokerage, has expanded its Christie’s International Real Estate
San Francisco | Marin | Wine Country division with the opening of a
new office in St. Helena, supported by Wine Country Consultants,
one of Napa Valley’s most respected real estate teams focused on
legacy vineyards and wineries.
Founded in 2008, Wine
Country Consultants is a family real estate team led by Robyn
Bentley, her daughter Jordan and son Ross. The Bentley family is
known industry-wide for their deep knowledge of luxury real estate
and vineyard sales throughout Napa Valley, as well as their
expertise in winemaking, with extensive knowledge of terroir, the
environment in which wine is produced. The Bentleys are also deeply
involved in local philanthropy, which aligns with Christie’s
International Real Estate Sereno’s commitment to enriching
the quality of service and community engagement in every market it
enters.
Joining Christie’s
International Real Estate San Francisco | Marin | Wine Country will
give the Wine Country Consultants team access to national and
international exposure through Christie’s International Real
Estate’s global luxury network, which has affiliates in nearly 50
countries and territories. The team will also enjoy exclusive
marketing partnerships: a relationship with Christie’s auction
house for the sale of fine art, luxury goods and wine, and the use
of the brand’s proprietary pl@tform™ technology, which enables
agents to digitally manage all aspects of the real estate
transaction and client relationship through one fully integrated
system.
"Wine Country Consultants
sets the benchmark for professionalism and client service in this
region and has an unparalleled knowledge of what it takes to buy
and sell vineyard properties,” shared Chris Trapani, co-founder and
co-CEO of Christie's International Real Estate Sereno. “From our
first meeting, it was clear why the Bentleys are the team of choice
for many of Napa’s buyers and sellers, and we are incredibly
grateful that they are joining Christie's International Real Estate
San Francisco | Marin | Wine Country.”
Echoing this enthusiasm,
Jessica Grimes, Marketing and Growth Strategist at Christie’s
International Real Estate Sereno, added, "We’re thrilled to welcome
Robyn, Ross, and Jordan Bentley to our venture. Their embodiment of
our core values — professionalism, success, and family — and their
appreciation for the distinction of a global brand, make them
invaluable members of our expanding family." A strong presence
in Napa Valley fulfills a strategic goal for the firm, which has a
number of clients in San Francisco, Marin County, and Silicon
Valley who own second homes in Wine Country or are interested in
investing in hobby vineyards or other vineyard
properties.
"Chris and Ryan [Iwanaga,
Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno’s co-CEO] have built an
incredible brokerage, with a focus on luxury and industry-leading
client service that aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Robyn
Bentley. “With international interest in Napa Valley, we’re
especially looking forward to being part of Christie’s
International Real Estate’s extensive affiliate network, which
offers important visibility for our listings.”
“The Bentleys are
extremely knowledgeable about the winemaking industry and
understand that owning a vineyard property is both an investment
and a legacy,” said Natalie Hamrick, president, Americas,
Christie’s International Real Estate. “They are a fantastic
addition to the many Christie’s International Real Estate brokers
around the world who are experts in this
niche.”
The Christie’s
International Real Estate network serves an international community
of vineyard owners and operators through its affiliates in leading
winemaking regions around the globe, including South Africa,
Bordeaux, Portugal, Spain, Tuscany, Argentina, Santa Barbara, and
Napa Valley. This group of the world’s foremost vineyard real
