The Avant

Team

Elevating Real Estate

We refreshed our brand early 2025 and introduced that tagline, we thought it marked a milestone. It turns out it was pointing us toward where we were meant to go next.

We’re thrilled to officially share that The Avant Team has joined Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty.

For more than a decade, we’ve guided families through life-changing moves. Now, it’s our turn. This transition expands our reach, strengthens our resources, and unlocks the full power of the Sotheby’s network: global exposure, world-class marketing, elevated technology, and a luxury standard recognized across the world.

What excites us just as much as the brand we’re joining are the people joining us. This chapter brings together a team of trusted colleagues who also happen to be close friends and top performers. Each person brings heart, grit, experience, and the same client-first values that have shaped who we are.

Today, we step into this new chapter with clarity, confidence, and a larger platform to serve you at the highest level.
