Bob Dalton, a sales associate with Long & Foster Real Estate’s Short Pump office, has earned the Christie’s International Real Estate Luxury Specialist designation.

Dalton attended the Luxury Specialist Conference held at Christie’s flagship auction house at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.  More than 250 agents in the Christie’s International Real Estate network attended the two day event, which focused on luxury goods, fine and decorative art, as well as marketing and selling luxury real estate.

“The importance of earning this designation is the awareness of the Christie’s connection,” said Dalton.  “I expect the connection with Christie’s, along with the suite of services offered, the global affiliate network, and strategic partnership with Christie’s, will better enable me to list and sell high end real estate as well as become a source of information on luxury goods and fine art for my clients.  These same skills also will come in handy in working with clients on all levels.”
