The Signature Sotheby's Story

Over the years there were many evolutions of
our brokerage - starting in 1932 when the
Snyder and Buck firm was incorporated in the
center of Birmingham one year before the city
officially existed. With each change, the goal has
remained the same - improving our community,
businesses and helping our neighbors with their
real estate needs.

Nine years ago we acquired Snyder, Kinney,
Bennett and Keating and partnered with
Sotheby's to become SKBK Sotheby's
International Realty. SKBK quickly became the
leader in the high-end real estate market
throughout metro Detroit. Now as times change,
so must our company. In order to support our
continued growth strategy - become more
widely recognizable and to better serve our
clients, we have now become Signature
Sotheby's International Realty.

Never before in our 90-plus year history has our
company enjoyed a greater reputation for
strength, security, financial discipline and doing
what is right for our agents and clients than we
do today. Last year we not only controlled the
high-end housing market throughout
southeastern Michigan, but we also sold the two
most expensive homes in Michigan history -
these homes were sold by word of mouth and
hard work and were not available on the market.
Our agents and brokers offer that same hard
work to each one of our clients.

We continue to focus, as always, on what has
gotten us here - building lifelong relationships
with our agents, clients and communities. Our
team works hard to know and understand your
complete real estate picture. We put you at the
center of everything we do. And we work
together to help support the communities in
which we all live and work.

Thank you again for entrusting us with your
business and we look forward to an even more
robust future to come.
