The event marked the Sotheby’s International Realty brand’s 40th anniversary.

Breunich and president and CEO of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty Patricia Petersen were the only two Sotheby’s International Realty affiliate representatives asked to be honorary guests at the bell-ringing event on Dec. 29. The two companies were among the brand’s original members and supporters.

Sotheby’s International Realty was founded in 1976 by Sotheby’s Auction House—the oldest company listed on the New York Stock Exchange—and adopted an affiliate model in 2004, with William Pitt and Julia B. Fee as well as Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty joining as two of the brand’s first affiliates.

“I was truly honored to be a part of this monumental brand event,” said Breunich.

"I am very proud of the journey we have taken together with our global luxury real estate network to bring the brand where it is today," said Phillip White, president and CEO of Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates.

Philip White additionally appeared on CNBC’s "Closing Bell" to discuss the luxury real estate market.

William Pitt and Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty is headquartered in Stamford.
