Luxury residential estate agency Rokstone is merging with UK Sotheby’s International Realty (UKSIR) in a deal thought to be worth millions.

Founder Becky Fatemi (main picture, left) ended months of speculation when she formerly announced the deal yesterday thats sees UKSIR strengthen its grip on the high-end luxury market.

£8 BILLION SALES

Fatemi founded Rokstone 12 years ago and since its launch in 2011 it has brokered over £8 billion worth of sales and now boasts a team with a collective 80 years’ experience in the Central London property market.

Over her 27-year career Fatemi has worked closely with developers and visionaries such as the Candy Brothers and Finchatton.

George Azar (main picture, right), UKSIR Chairman and Chief Executive, says: “Becky brings a level of energy and innovation that’s simply unmatched. Her track record speaks volumes and her arrival at UK Sotheby’s International Realty signals a new era for prime central London real estate.”

Fatemi, who is also Diversity Ambassador for the Luxury Property Forum, adds: “After approaches from some of the world’s leading brands and agencies over the years, I felt that George and I share a kindred tenacity and a desire to shake up the prime residential sector.

“I admire the success George has achieved in Dubai and the Middle Eastern region under his ownership and believe we can take Sotheby’s real estate proposition in the UK, and internationally, to new heights.”

SALES RECORDS

Fatemi holds multiple sales records for many of London’s most prominent newly built residential properties, oversees some of the capital’s most exclusive rental deals and has been instrumental in positioning the capital firmly at the forefront of luxury residential property.

She also has deep rooted connections to Ibiza and will bring in a 60 million Euro prime Balearic property portfolio.

Fatemi and her team will continue to operate from their Dorset Street office in London’s Marylebone where they will cover the whole super prime market for the UK and internationally working with UKSIR affiliates.

The partnership will also see UKSIR support Fatemi’s charitable foundation, Shadow to Shine, which offers mentoring, work experience and employability skills training to young adults aged between 16 and 30.

The Neg revealed earlier this month how top super prime agents Simon Burgoyne, James Gubbins and Sarah Peck had all joined UKSIR. Fatemi was also involved in a high-profile and successful damages court case earlier this year.
