Since 1744, some of the world’s most notable art, jewelry, antiques and other luxury items have passed through the portals of Sotheby’s Auction House. St. Louis’ Dielmann Sotheby’s is an affiliate of Sotheby’s worldwide collection of luxury real estate companies. “They invited us to join nine years ago, based on our outstanding client service, business ethics, average sale price and market share,” says broker/owner Andy Dielmann. “They don’t choose their affiliates lightly. We’re the only Missouri firm that shares the Sotheby’s brand.”
But what does the Sotheby’s connection mean to the average St. Louisan who wants to buy or sell a home? “The relationship gives us access to unparalleled technological capabilities, marketing exposure and advertising presence in print, online and social media,” Dielmann explains. “The incredible 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 exposure 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.”
Dielmann Sotheby’s represents homes at every price point, but specializes in the luxury market. Andy Dielmann has been in real estate 38 years, since he was 21 years old. “My dad always advised me to be my own boss,” he recalls. “I jumped into real estate headfirst right out of college, and it turned out to be my true calling. It’s a people business, built on trust.” He handpicked his leadership team based on their knowledge, experience and vision. “Our agents share our dedication to outstanding service,” he says. “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. The strength of our leadership team, the skill of our agents, our loyalty to St. Louis homeowners, and the resources we offer thanks to Sotheby’s are the keys to our success. Together, we’re unbeatable.”
Dielmann Sotheby’s clients get the best of both worlds: a deeply rooted local firm whose expert agents understand their needs and know St. Louis intimately, and a powerhouse international agency with incredible marketing reach and exposure, Dielmann says. “It’s a unique combination that sets us apart and allows us to deliver great service, whether we’re representing a $100,000 home or a multimillion-dollar property. We know we’re doing something right, because we get so many repeat clients and referrals. It’s so satisfying when you get a phone call from a new client who says, ‘You helped my neighbor or my brother-in-law find the perfect home at the perfect price, and he was blown away by the amazing service.’ There’s no higher compliment. That’s what’s kept me in this business for nearly four decades.”
