Countrywide acquires Hamptons International in key global markets
Countrywide has announced the acquisition of Hamptons International, and rights to expand across key locations including the UK, Europe and Asia.
The agreement includes the global business operations of Hamptons International, one of the premier international residential agencies, and its network of more than 80 branches in the UK and overseas, with rights to further expand the brand globally.
The acquisition forms a key part of Countrywide’s strategic plan to further expand into the prestigious high-end property market, following the recent purchase of the Sotheby’s International Realty franchise in the UK.
Grenville Turner, Countrywide Group Executive, said: “This acquisition is a major breakthrough for both companies – they are a perfect fit. We identified that Hamptons International offers a key growth opportunity and we recognise the quality of its brand, its people, its branch locations and international credentials.”
