Liza Kaufman, Founding Partner of Sotheby’s International Realty Québec, is recognized as one of the most influential figures in global luxury real estate. A member of the prestigious TOP 100 group- brokers responsible for more than $18B in sales this year alone-she consistently ranks among the most powerful forces in high-end property sales and marketing worldwide.
Representing exceptional homes in Montreal’s most coveted neighbourhoods, including Westmount, Downtown, and the Golden Square Mile, Liza also commands an international portfolio of country estates, equestrian properties, and premier vacation residences. Her track record is unmatched: her recent transactions set historic benchmarks for both the highest-priced residential property and the highest-priced condominium ever sold in the province of Quebec.
Liza’s global perspective is rooted in a life lived around the world. Born in Peru, raised in Toronto, and educated in Los Angeles and Paris, she has also called Greece and New York City home. Fluent in five languages and deeply comfortable in any cultural setting, she brings a rare international fluency to every client relationship.
Before entering real estate, Liza built a successful career in corporate finance, honing the management expertise and negotiation precision that now define her work. During her time as Public Relations Coordinator for the Academy Awards, she mastered the art of navigating complex, high-stakes environments and leading large-scale, multi-layered projects-skills that translate seamlessly into her luxury brokerage practice.
Focused, strategic, and unshakeably composed, Liza is a trusted Senior Global Real Estate Advisor whose insight is routinely sought by major media. She has appeared on Global TV, The National, Radio-Canada, CBC, CTV, The Globe and Mail, The National Post, and numerous international outlets. Her listings have been showcased in the world’s most respected publications, including the Robb Report, Architectural Digest, International Herald Tribune, New York Times, Sotheby’s Auction Magazine, Reside Magazine, Mansion Global, and The Wall Street Journal.
