LAKE MARY, Fla. – Regal | Christie’s International Real Estate specializing in luxury home sales has opened a fifth Central Florida location in a high-end building at 171 International Parkway Suite 1711 in Heathrow.

Our new Property Gallery in Lake Mary was designed to create a relaxed atmosphere where visitors can enjoy a complete gourmet coffee menu while browsing exquisite properties in a casual lounge setting,” said Joyce Marsh, Regional Manager.
