AS FEATURED ON LUXURY LIST, 4 NOVEMBER 2026
Melbourne Sotheby’s International Realty, the city’s most globally connected real estate brokerage, today announced the appointment of Michael King as Senior Property Advisor, alongside Yang Cao as Luxury Sales Consultant.
The pair add new depth and expertise to the Melbourne Sotheby’s International Realty team, which has grown steadily since the brand formally launched in the city in November 2025. Michael and Yang will be based at the agency’s head office in Hawksburn Village.
Michael King began his career in advertising and marketing before moving into real estate, where he has held Principal and Director positions with several successful agencies, including Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty (North) and Ray White Prestige.
Drawn to homes with architectural distinction, historical significance and enduring character, Michael has established a reputation for achieving outstanding outcomes and setting new price benchmarks across diverse prestige markets. In the past two-and-a-half years alone, his results have spanned sophisticated Melbourne city residences, distinguished Victorian homes in Hawthorn East Melbourne’s prestige inner east, and exceptional coastal properties in Lorne and along the Surf Coast.
Yang Cao’s career with luxury brands Bvlgari, Gucci, Tesla, and Collette Dinnigan, complemented by a Master’s degree in Luxury Management and Marketing from EMLYON Business School in France, gives her an international perspective and a strong understanding of the luxury market.
Her residential real estate experience spans across family homes and apartments, including properties in Stonnington, East Melbourne and Carlton. Fluent in both English and Mandarin, Yang converses comfortably with local and international clients, helping them navigate Melbourne’s property market with clarity and confidence.
Mitch Armstrong, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Projects – Melbourne Sotheby’s International Realty, said: “I’m very pleased to welcome Michael and Yang to our growing and exceptionally talented team.
“Michael’s breadth of transaction history spans top-end property in the city, the suburbs and on the coast, and he knows that a great result depends far more on the property and what the owner wants than on the postcode. He is calm and clear in his advice, he handles complicated sales well, and he understands that selling a significant home is as much a personal decision as a financial one. Our clients get someone who is reliable and dependable, someone who has seen most situations before.
“Yang’s ability to listen is a real superpower. She provides exceptional clarity and has exemplary communication skill. Her years in luxury retail taught her what exceptional service looks like and that discretion is essential. She stays in touch with her clients well after settlement, and that is the kind of relationship we want every client of this business to have.”
With a brand heritage that spans more than 1,100 offices across 86 countries and territories, Sotheby’s International Realty offers an unparalleled international footprint that provides Melbourne Sotheby’s International Realty unprecedented global visibility and access.
