Christie’s International Real Estate, a luxury brand in the real estate industry, has made important executive appointments and hires to lead its network in the Americas. Natalie Hamrick and Kevin Van Eck have been promoted to co-presidents, while Chris Lim will take on a new role as senior advisor and global brand ambassador. Hamrick will serve as president of affiliate services, and Van Eck will be president of affiliate strategy. Additionally, Nidhal Charfi has been hired as vice president of affiliate expansion to lead the North American sales efforts.
These moves come after the successful acquisition of Christie’s International Real Estate by the team at Chicago-based @properties in late 2021. Thad Wong, co-CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate, expressed his confidence in the new leadership team, recognizing their expertise and complementary skills. Wong emphasized the importance of leveraging their experience and talents to drive network growth and expand the relationship between the real estate business and the auction house.
Hamrick, who has been with Christie’s International Real Estate for 13 years, previously served as executive vice president of the Americas. In this role, she oversaw business development and affiliate services for member firms in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Van Eck, who has more than a decade of experience as a real estate agent and managing broker, played a significant role in the development and implementation of the brand’s technology and marketing programs. Charfi brings a background in business development for real estate and technology companies, including LinkedIn, Oracle, and Compass.
The executive promotions and new hire signal Christie’s International Real Estate’s commitment to growth and investment in the future of real estate. The company is confident in its ability to provide innovative solutions and continue thriving despite challenges in the market. With a strong vision, leadership, and brand, Christie’s International Real Estate aims to remain on the offensive in an industry where many are playing defense.
