Christie's International Real Estate Strengthens Position in New Jersey with Addition of Gloria Nilson Realtors as Seventh Affiliate

Princeton, NJ, April 12, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Christie's International Real Estate, the world's leading luxury real estate network, announces today that it has awarded Affiliate status to Gloria Nilson REALTORS®, Real Living, resulting in a total of seven affiliated brokerages in the state of New Jersey. Founded more than 30 years ago, Gloria Nilson REALTORS is one of the preeminent real estate brokerages in central New Jersey, with 18 offices and more than 700 sales associates. Gloria Nilson REALTORS will represent the Christie's brand across central New Jersey in the counties of Mercer, South Hunterdon, and South Middlesex, including the exclusive enclave of Princeton.

Wholly owned by Christie's, the world's leading art business, Christie's International Real Estate is represented in more than 40 countries. Gloria Nilson REALTORS joins this carefully selected organization of brokerages with proven records of success in both high-end property sales and exemplary client service.

“Representing the New Jersey market for more than 30 years, Gloria Nilson REALTORS will be a valuable addition to our Affiliate network through their strong reputation and long-standing record of success in the luxury marketplace,” says Kathleen Coumou, Senior Vice President of Christie’s International Real Estate. “We are delighted to welcome Gloria Nilson REALTORS to the network representing Christie’s International Real Estate in Princeton and the surrounding areas.”

"We are extremely proud to join the world renowned Christie's network," explains Dick Schlott, CEO of Gloria Nilson REALTORS. "With both brands dedicated to outstanding client service and representing distinctive luxury homes, we see this as an ideal partnership."

Areas where Gloria Nilson REALTORS will carry the Christie's affiliation include Mercer County, home of Princeton, NJ. Princeton is a well-known and historic Mercer County center for learning and culture within 50 miles of New York and Philadelphia. The Princeton area has built a national reputation in part thanks to its world-renowned university, which has produced scholars, scientists, writers, and statesmen—including two U.S. presidents.

A transition from rural to suburban living is offered in Hunterdon County, where Gloria Nilson REALTORS' clients enjoy growing towns and shopping areas, as well as relaxing rural landscapes. Middlesex County, located in Central New Jersey just to the east of Princeton, was founded for its historic English county namesake.
