About William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty
William Pitt Real Estate was founded in 1949 under the strong leadership of William H. Pitt. In 2005, WIlliam Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty was born as an affiliate of the prestigious Sotheby’s International Realty brand, offering unparalleled access to the world’s most distinctive properties through its global affiliates. Our relationship with this premier brand affirms our commitment toward providing you with a superior level of service, marketing and expertise in Connecticut and around the world. With this shared vision, we work collectively to offer both sellers and buyers a matchless commitment to real estate.
Our Mission:
The mission and culture of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty is built around these three principles which guide our business. We bring passion to our interactions with clients, associates and employees, and to our service delivery. Intelligence and world-wide influence continually bring our insight and expertise to sellers and buyers of fine real estate. As a result, our client’s experience with us is second to none, continuing our reputation of unparalleled renown.
The Journey:
Founded in 1949 by William H. Pitt, William Pitt Real Estate earned a sterling reputation and spotless track record. In 1998, the managing partners took the firm through it’s greatest expansion. With this growth and recognition, the privately owned and operated company affiliated with Sotheby’s International Realty in 2005. In 2008, the firm partnered with Building and Land Technology, a second-generation Norwalk-based real estate development company. Now servicing Fairfield County, New Haven County and Connecticut’s shoreline communities, William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty has 20 offices and more than 650 sales associates.
Heritage:
Since the founding of the Sotheby’s Auction House in 1744, the Sotheby’s name has earned renown as a marketer of the world’s most valuable and prestigious possessions. This reputation is built as much upon exceptional service to clients as on the notable art, antiques, jewelry and other holdings that pass through Sotheby’s offices around the world. Our association with the Sotheby’s Brand is truly what sets us apart because it is more than just an Auction House. It’s the ultimate destination where collectors gather to indulge their desires and share their knowledge.
The Brand:
The year is 1976. Sotheby’s recognizes that the firm can serve its auction clients in a valuable new way with a complete package of estate disposition services. Founded on the same commitment to exceptional service that characterized the firm’s dealings for more than two centuries, the Sotheby’s International Realty brand is born and soon becomes known around the world for the distinctive properties it represents. Today we continue that focus by employing our brand’s vision of artfully uniting extraordinary homes with extraordinary lives.
Worldwide Presence:

Today our network boasts more than 10,000 sales associates located in over 500 offices in 35 countries and territories, sharing many thousand referrals around the world.
