Presenting

Beyond shining a global spotlight on Michael Saunders & Company and the distinctive properties we represent, our affiliates are truly on the pulse of luxury living and its ever-changing face. From record breaking auctions of iconic works of art, to hosting exclusive conferences for the world's best real estate agents, our powerful global family is at the forefront of all things luxury. Keeping up with Christie's 2014 was an astounding year for Christie's in every arena. As part of its year-end figures announcement, Christie's Jewelry reported a record total of $754.7 million – the highest annual result ever achieved for jewelry at any auction house. In November of last year, Christie's also orchestrated what the Wall Street Journal called "the hottest two weeks ever in art history," when on a freezing Manhattan night $853 million dollars of fine art were sold. This included late artist Andy Warhol's 1963 painting of Elvis Presley – Triple Elvis. A few weeks after these incredible sales, the world's focus shifted from New York to Miami Beach, where Michael Saunders & Company partnered with Christie's International Real Estate to sponsor Art Miami. A group of MS&C agents were present throughout the six day event as proud ambassadors of the Gulf Coast lifestyle. The Latest from Luxury Portfolio In February of 2015, Michael, Drayton, our leadership team and a select group of MS&C agents attended the annual Luxury Portfolio SUMMIT in Las Vegas, where the best in the business from around the globe gather to network and take part in engaging workshops and discussions. Following this, Luxury Portfolio released their 2015 white paper offering insights into emerging trends and the global affluent, and according to their studies, the world is pretty flush right now. Research by Credit Suisse highlighted that in 2014, wealth grew by 8.3% worldwide to reach $263 trillion. This has led to affluent consumers increasing their discretionary spending on real estate, travel, entertainment, fashion and automobiles. Later in the year, Michael and Drayton will gain further insight into this explosion of affluence when they accompany the top nine MS&C agents to the 2015 Luxury Portfolio International Symposium in Berlin, Germany.
