Christie’s International Real Estate names SVP of strategic growth

Christie’s International Real Estate has appointed G. Scott Hurlock as senior vice president of strategic growth, a new role at the company.

Hurlock will oversee network expansion for the luxury real estate brand by pursuing new partnerships and working with affiliates on organic growth, mergers and acquisitions.

“Scott comes to us with an incredibly impressive track record, deep industry relationships and a natural talent for identifying quality leadership and high potential in the luxury space,” Gavin Swartzman, president of Christie’s International Real Estate, said in a statement. “As we look to the next phase of our growth, Scott’s connections and strategic expertise will undoubtedly help us reach our goals.”

Hurlock has more than 20 years of sales and marketing experience with national and international real estate firms.

He previously worked at HomeSmart, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Realogy (now Anywhere), and most recently served as senior vice president of expansion at Engel & Völkers.

During his four years at Engel & Völkers, Hurlock helped expand the brand through partnerships — including the 2023 merger of Dilbeck Real Estate with the network’s largest U.S. broker-owner, adding nine offices and more than $1.3 billion in business in southern California.

“Christie’s International Real Estate is an incredible luxury brand that has come under the industry’s finest leadership team,” Hurlock said. “Their excellence in brokerage operations, marketing, technology and affiliate services is best in class, and the strength of ownership signals a very bright future. I look forward to building on the brand’s storied pedigree and strong foundation to help create the world’s preeminent luxury real estate network.”
