Christie’s International Real Estate New Jersey announced that Robert Norman, previously the President of Coldwell Banker, joined Christie’s in the role of Chief Operating Officer, in Christie’s Ridgewood office, effective immediately.
“At this time, our industry is facing a historic transformation with pivotal choices to be made that will affect our clients, our agents and the way in which we operate and do business. We are definitely entering a new chapter of our business and are fortunate to navigate through these changes with Robert as part of our team. Robert’s nearly 30 years of experience, knowledge and proven result record are a guarantee that Christie’s International Real Estate New Jersey will be able to transform our business with the best results for our clients and our agents,” said Ilija Pavlovic, president and CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate New Jersey.
“While at the helm of Coldwell Banker, an important part of the role was keeping an eye on the movement of our competitors, and I was intrigued and impressed with the speed with which Christie’s became one of our most formidable competitors, especially in Northern New Jersey. When the opportunity presented itself, Ilija and I met and started discussing the future of real estate in the impact of AI and new technological platforms while at the same time protecting the integrity of our agents and the personal relationship that remains essential to the business. We very quickly established that we share the same values and same vision. I am very excited to join the great Christie’s team and am confident that together we will lead a successful transformation,” said Robert Norman.
