Christie’s International Real Estate Group is excited to announce the newest addition to its New Jersey division: The Highland Group, based in Westfield, New Jersey. This dynamic team marks another significant milestone in Christie’s continued expansion and market leadership across the state.
With over 20 years of collective real estate experience and more than $100 million in sales, The Highland Group is well-positioned to represent the Christie’s brand in Westfield and throughout New Jersey. Launched in June 2023, this accomplished team of nine agents brings extensive expertise, deep local knowledge, and valuable connections to their new role at Christie’s. The team members, previously with Keller Williams, include Amelia Sarrazin, Erin McMahon, Lindsay Kaup, Matt Jarecki, Megan Brown, Sandra Bliwise, Suzanne McMahon, Todd Mitchell, and Katelynn Whitlock Leemhuis.
The Highland Group has teamed up with renowned local artist Ricardo Roig to co-launch a Christie’s brand boutique at Roig Studio, located at 245 East Broad Street in downtown Westfield. This unique partnership offers a collaborative space where real estate and art come together.
“Sharing my original Art with the Christie’s brand is a very unique and thrilling opportunity for me,” said Ricardo Roig. “Through the vulnerability of showing my work, I am able to discover a greater connection to others. I’m grateful to work with such special people to develop our creative community, build bridges across industries to grow our dreams together, and optimize efforts through The Highland Group and Christie’s connection to present my Art contribution of my collection of hand-cut paper prints. Michelle and I are so thrilled and beyond our wildest dreams that the town we both grew up in has not only made space for our Art Gallery for my Art but invited us all into a deeper, richer understanding of what this community can be. A place to share our creative- positive freedom, present ourselves professionally, and share our stories of connection that brings the Artist out in all of us.”
As part of their commitment to community engagement, Christie’s and Roig plan to host a series of exclusive monthly events in the shared gallery space. These events, open to both agents and Westfield residents, will include wine tastings, curated shopping experiences, and art auctions benefiting local charities, among others, further solidifying Christie’s presence in the community.
“We are thrilled to welcome The Highland Group to the Christie’s family. Each of the nine agents brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success. We couldn’t think of a better team to represent Christie’s in Westfield,” said Alex Ristovic, Regional Vice President at Christie’s International Real Estate Group New Jersey. “We look forward to seeing The Highland Group thrive and engage deeply with the local community.”
“We are excited to join Christie’s International Real Estate Group. The Highland Group is committed not only to meeting the real estate needs of our clients but also to serving as active stewards of the Westfield community. Christie’s unmatched brand, global reach, and exclusive opportunities will allow us to elevate our service and deliver exceptional results for our clients,” said Megan Brown, Partner / Realtor-Associate®.
