About Us

Since the founding of the Sotheby's Auction House in 1744, the Sotheby's name has earned the distinction of being the premier marketer of the world's most valuable and prestigious possessions. This reputation is built as much upon exceptional services to clients as on the notable art, antiques, jewelry and other holdings that pass through Sotheby's offices around the world. The Sotheby's International Realty organization began in 1976, in part to serve clients desiring a complete package of estate services. Building on the impeccable Sotheby's brand image, Sotheby's International Realty quickly became known for representing extraordinary properties throughout the world.

Jody and Wood Lovell started Cullasaja Realty twelve years ago on the Highlands Plateau and immediately became leaders in sales of luxury homes. Based on their proven track record, they were awarded the prestigious Sotheby's International Realty franchise for the Highlands/Cashiers/Lake Toxaway area in December of 2008. The Sotheby's brand has strengthened their position as the top firm in the area selling more of their own listings each year than any other company. In 2009, a second office was opened in The Old Edwards Inn and Spa complex in downtown Highlands.
