At Christie’s International Real Estate, we are entering an exciting new chapter under the leadership of our Global President, Gavin Swartzman, who assumed the role in June 2025. His appointment marks a renewed commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainable growth across our global network of luxury real estate specialists.
With over two decades of experience leading international real estate firms, Gavin brings a unique blend of strategic vision and hands-on understanding of how local markets evolve. His leadership combines a global business perspective with deep respect for local expertise — a balance that has always defined the Christie’s approach to real estate.
Strengthening Leadership in the Luxury Market
Despite the broader slowdown seen across the global property market, the luxury segment remains resilient, continuing to outperform the market as a whole. This strength reflects not only the enduring demand for exceptional properties, but also the dedication and professionalism of the agents who represent the Christie’s International Real Estate brand around the world.
As Gavin notes, success in this segment is built on discipline, consistency, and genuine connection with clients. Maintaining close relationships and providing meaningful insights are essential to creating truly personalized experiences, even in challenging times.
Growth with a Global Vision
Under Gavin Swartzman’s leadership, we are reinforcing our international presence, expanding our network, and exploring new opportunities to deliver unparalleled service to our clients. Innovation, collaboration, and quality remain at the heart of our growth strategy for the years ahead.
At Christie’s International Real Estate Madrid, we fully share this vision. Every day, we work to reflect the values that define our brand: excellence, discretion, and personalized service.
Being part of a global network allows us to connect Madrid with the world’s most exclusive destinations, offering our local and international clients a seamless experience rooted in trust and expertise.
This new chapter reaffirms what has always set us apart: a brand with heritage, a team with vision, and a lasting commitment to excellence.
