St. Louis is known for its unique combination of small-town warmth and big-city resources. Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty offers the best of both worlds. “We’re a deeply rooted local firm whose expert agents know the region intimately and understand our clients’ needs,” says broker/owner Andy Dielmann. “At the same time, we’re a powerhouse international agency with incredible marketing reach and exposure.”

The firm is an affiliate of Sotheby’s International Realty, a worldwide collection of luxury real estate companies. “They invited us to join 10 years ago, based on our outstanding client service, business ethics, average sale price and market share,” Dielmann explains. “They’re very selective about their affiliates. I’m proud to say we’re the only Missouri firm that shares the Sotheby’s brand.”

What does the Sotheby’s connection mean to the average St. Louisan who is buying or selling a home? “The relationship gives us unparalleled technological and marketing capabilities, as well as an incredible advertising presence in print, online and on social media,” Dielmann says. “The power and range of Sotheby’s resources enables us to present area properties not just locally, but on national and international markets. No one else in town has that kind of reach.” Each Dielmann Sotheby’s home gets listed across a broad range of outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and Architectural Digest, he notes. “It’s a perfect fit, because helping people relocate into or out of town is a major part of our business. And Sotheby’s markets to each of the niches we specialize in, from luxury and historical homes to ranches and farms.”

Dielmann has been in real estate 40 years, starting out as a 21-year-old kid determined to avoid a desk job. “I got into it right out of college, and it turned out to be my true calling,” he says. “It’s a relationship business, built on trust. That’s what I love about it.” He handpicked his leadership team based on their knowledge, experience and vision. “Our 100 agents share our dedication to outstanding service,” he adds. “They’re available 24/7, making sure every client gets the attention they deserve, whether they’re selling their home or looking for a new one.”

Last year was the firm’s best ever, with sales up more than 35 percent. First quarter sales figures indicate this year will be even better, Dielmann notes. But he and his agents have no intention of resting on their laurels. “We’re determined to stay on the cutting edge of marketing and technology, without ever losing the personal touch,” he says. “We’re dedicated to delivering incredible service, whether we’re representing a $100,000 home or a multimillion-dollar property. We know we’re doing it right, because the backbone of our business is repeat clients and referrals. The strength of our leadership team, the skill of our agents, our loyalty to St. Louis homeowners, and the depth of our Sotheby’s resources are crucial to our success. Together, we’re unbeatable.”
