The Antelo View Estate — a 5.5-acre Bel-Air property that is listed off-market by Sotheby’s International Realty — hosted dozens of top sellers for the evening, as attendees mingled around the guest house and its terrace with drinks and gelato in hand. A harpist soundtracked the cocktail hour while agents made the rounds and popped into a portrait studio for photos. The group then headed out into the yard for the awards ceremony, featuring an intro from The Society Group’s Alexander Ali and words from Cristian David, senior vp and brokerage manager at Sotheby’s International Realty.

David reflected on Sotheby’s International Realty’s five decades and noted how “while the world of real estate continues to evolve, the true luxury has never been defined by a price point alone. It is defined by discretion, perspective and the ability to create meaningful connections across the cultures, markets and generations.” He continued that ” as we look forward to the next 50 years, our focus remains clear: to honor our legacy without being limited by it, to embrace innovation while preserving the distinctly human qualities that make this business so special. Tonight’s honorees embody that future; they are setting new standards, shaping the culture of our industry and proving that the most enduring form of influence is excellence.”

Eight awards were handed out during the celebration, including Cindy Ambuehl of Christie’s winning for Philanthropic Impact Award — who spoke of supporting “our beautiful Palisades community; we have all been out there doing everything we can to provide comfort to that community, give them hope, reassurance that we’re there for them and that all surrounds community” — and Ernie Carswell of Sotheby’s winning for Celebrity Property Portfolio for his sale of the Raquel Welch estate and listings for the former Cary Grant estate and Cecil B. DeMille estate (for Angelina Jolie).
