The Laughlin Tanner Group is proud to share that our luxury real estate advisors have once again been selected for membership in Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Club 1744, a distinguished recognition reserved for the brokerage’s highest-performing advisors. This honor reflects an exceptional level of achievement, professionalism and dedication to clients, and it speaks to the consistent standard of excellence the group brings to Sarasota’s luxury real estate market.

Named for the year 1744, Club 1744 pays tribute to the heritage of the Sotheby’s auction house. That was the year founder Samuel Baker conducted the first auction under his own name, beginning a legacy that would become one of the most recognized in the world of luxury. Today, the name continues to represent discernment, trust, presentation and the art of connecting extraordinary properties with the right buyers.

Within Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, Club 1744 honors an elite tier of top-producing advisors, including those ranked among the top 100 companywide and top regional performers based on prior-year closed sales volume. It is a meaningful distinction that reflects both results and reputation.

For the Laughlin Tanner Group, this recognition carries added significance. The group has been selected for Club 1744 every year since the club’s inception, a remarkable record of consistency and a testament to the group’s enduring leadership in Sarasota luxury real estate. Year after year, the group’s advisors have delivered the market knowledge, strategic guidance and elevated service that luxury buyers and sellers expect at the highest level.

In a market where performance matters and trust matters even more, Club 1744 recognition underscores what clients already know: the Laughlin Tanner Group stands among Sarasota’s most accomplished luxury real estate agents. Backed by the global reach of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand and grounded in deep local expertise, the group continues to represent extraordinary homes—and the people who own them—with care, skill and distinction.
