The boutique brokerage and its agents based in Mooresville, North Carolina, located about 30 miles north of Charlotte, will now operate under the Premier Sotheby’s International Realty brand, allowing Premier Sotheby’s International Realty to expand its presence in the region.
With the acquisition, Julie Cash, former owner of J. Cash Real Estate, will become managing broker of Sotheby’s Cornelius and Mooresville offices.
“Julie has built a successful real estate firm based on exclusivity, exceptional service and marketing expertise,” Budge Huskey, president and CEO of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, said in a statement. “We are thrilled to welcome her and the talented professionals of J. Cash Real Estate to our company. Our two firms are well aligned in terms of our passion and values. We are confident that this new union will achieve extraordinary results.”

“We are dedicated to attracting high-level talent and this is just another example of why successful agents are attracted to a global luxury brand,” Kristine Newell, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s senior vice president, said in a statement. “Julie is an icon in this local market, and an incredible example of a strong female leader.”
