(October 5th, 2009) – President of Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty, George Damianos recently attended the de Rham Sotheby’s International Realty Sailing Competition in Switzerland. The competition which was sponsored by Julius Baer presented a great opportunity for Damianos to socialize and network with the de Rham team as well as to discuss the real estate industry in their areas. Damianos commented that he had looked forward towards his trip to Switzerland as he was able to deepen his relationship with the European Sotheby’s affiliates.
