The brokerage noted that Lim will remain at <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/properties-looks-beyond-chicago-with-christies-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christie\u2019s<\/a> as a senior advisor and global brand ambassador, working to expand the relationship between the real estate business and the auction house, among other duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lim\u2019s former role will be divided between Natalie Hamrick and Kevin Van Eck, who will lead the firm\u2019s operations in the Americas. Hamrick will serve as the president of affiliate services and Van Eck will serve as president of affiliate strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/no-1-agent-in-georgia-moves-to-ansley-christies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christie\u2019s<\/a> also noted that it has hired Nidhal Charfi to head up North American sales and serve as vice president of affiliate expansion. Charfi is the former senior director of sales and strategic growth at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/tag\/compass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Compass<\/a><\/strong> and he has a background in business development for both real estate and technology companies including <strong>LinkedIn<\/strong> and <strong>Oracle<\/strong>. Since leaving Compass in 2022 after a seven-year stint, he has consulted for real estate brokerages and proptech firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver the last two years, we have had a lot of success growing Christie\u2019s International Real Estate and delivering new technology, marketing, and coaching programs. Now, we see an opportunity to add depth to our executive leadership by giving Natalie and Kevin a larger role and creating an even stronger platform for network growth with Nidhal,\u201d Thad Wong, the co-CEO of Christie\u2019s, said in a statement. \u201cIn addition, we are investing in Chris\u2019 relationships with Christie\u2019s auction house to drive increased referrals around the globe. The result is a bigger, better team that fully leverages the experience and talents of each individual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamrick has been part of Christie\u2019s for 13 years, most recently serving as executive vice president for the Americas. She has also held several top-level service and strategy positions at the firm. Van Eck formerly served as Christie\u2019s executive VP of innovation and education. He also has more than a decade of experience as a real estate agent and managing broker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been with Christie\u2019s International Real Estate most of my professional life, and I\u2019ve never seen the type of momentum \u2013 either at the corporate or affiliate level \u2013 that we have today,\u201d Hamrick said. \u201cCertainly, the market is presenting challenges, but that is also an opportunity, because we believe we have the best solutions, and we are going to prove it across each and every market in the network.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Christie\u2019s acknowledged the unique division of Lim\u2019s former role between Hamrick and Van Eck, the firm noted that it was not unheard of at Christie\u2019s \u2014 Thad Wong and Mike Golden have <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/podcast\/properties-ceos-talk-company-growth-and-franchising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shared duties as co-CEOs<\/a> for the past 21 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMuch like Mike and I, Natalie and Kevin have very complementary skills. Not only is Natalie exceptional in marketing, client-relations and affiliate service; she also has a deep understanding of Christie\u2019s and its relationship to Christie\u2019s International Real Estate,\u201d Wong said. \u201cMeanwhile, Kevin is equally talented when it comes to our <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/the-evolution-of-the-more-productive-real-estate-agent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pl@tform technology<\/a>, coaching, training, and recruiting. He has a very strong operational background. I\u2019m confident this will be a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lim and Hamrick appeared on an <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/christies-international-exec-on-building-clear-core-values\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">episode of RealTrending<\/a> last month about how they build their core values on a level of service and not a price point. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Lim is stepping down as Christie&#8217;s International Real Estate president.
