In February 2004, Realogy entered into a long-term strategic alliance with Sotheby&rsquo;s, the operator of the auction house. The agreement provided for the licensing of the Sotheby&rsquo;s International Realty name and the development of a full franchise system. Affiliations in the system are granted only to brokerages and individuals meeting strict qualifications.
