Vista Sotheby’s International Realty has grown into one of Southern and Northern
California’s most prominent, luxury real estate brokerages, with a footprint
that spans Greater Los Angeles, including the South Bay, Long Beach, the Inland
Empire, and nearby Mountain Communities, and extends north into California’s
historic Gold Country. Its evolution has been marked by strategic acquisitions
that expanded both its geographic reach and its depth of expertise.

Vista was founded in 2007. The company’s growth trajectory began with the
acquisition of South Bay Brokers (est. 1985) in 2015, a well-respected local
firm in the Los Angeles beach city communities, known for its strong community
roots and seasoned agents.

In 2016, Vista strengthened its South Bay presence further with the purchase of
Shorewood Realtors (est. 1969), one of the region’s most established and trusted
real estate companies.

The firm continued to broaden its influence in 2024 with the acquisition of
Crest Sotheby’s International Realty, formerly known as Murray Real Estate (est.
1990), enhancing its reach into the Inland Empire and additional California
communities.

In 2025, Vista expanded northward and into new markets through two additional
acquisitions: Gateway Sotheby’s International Realty (est. 2015) and Intero Real
Estate (est. 2015), both of which brought new coverage in key regions of
Northern California. Later that same year, Vista added another legacy brokerage
to its network with the acquisition of Wheeler Steffen Sotheby’s International
Realty, a firm with 60 years of history in Claremont, California while also
bringing offices in Big Bear Lake and Blue Jay, extending Vista’s reach into
Southern California’s mountain communities.

Today, Vista Sotheby’s International Realty is recognized for its representation
of premier homes, estates, and investment properties. The firm blends deep local
market knowledge with the global reach of the Sotheby’s International Realty
brand, offering world-class marketing and personalized service tailored to
luxury clients. With a continually expanding network of offices, Vista is
uniquely positioned to assist buyers and sellers across diverse markets, from
coastal communities to mountain retreats and desert destinations. Guided by a
commitment to excellence, Vista’s team remains dedicated to delivering
exceptional results at every stage of the real estate journey.
