Among the attendees was Chris Richardson from San Luis Obispo County’s leading independent real estate brokerage, Richardson Properties – who furthered his knowledge in important luxury asset classes of art, jewelry, watches, handbags and, of course, real estate to better serve their valued clients.

Speakers included top producers in real estate sharing their secrets to success, Christie’s specialists with insights into how to elevate client service through the auction house, and an economist providing a look at what 2019 might hold. At the conclusion of the conference, Richardson Properties was designated a “Christie’s International Real Estate Luxury Specialist” by Christie’s Education.

Chris Richardson, Managing Partner of Richardson Properties, said, “It’s an honor to have been designated a Christie’s Luxury Specialist. The conference provided me with a wealth of knowledge we can now use to better serve our clients in San Luis Obispo. Continuous education is and has always been a key cornerstone of our business model. The valuable insights we gained will no doubt help us retain our status as the leading independent brokerage in San Luis Obispo.”

Dan Conn, CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate, said, “One of the hallmarks of the Christie’s brand is exemplary client care. This conference provides network agents the opportunity to better understand and leverage Christie’s full spectrum of expertise in art, luxury goods, and real estate. The agents who attend are proven experts in their local markets, motivated to pursue continuing education in the luxury market and well-deserving of being designated a Luxury Specialist.”
