MAGNOLIA, NEAR HOUSTON, TX: SOLD FOR $9.29M, CARSWELL REAL ESTATE
For sellers
For luxury property, the buyer pool is limited. This makes selling luxury real estate a challenge that the traditional market alone has not yet solved.
Concierge Auctions eliminates the uncertainty of selling a luxury property by pairing sellers with eligible buyers in an auction process designed for closing in 60 days or less.
For agents
Concierge Auctions is an additional tool for agents to sell unique, high-end listings. Our approach combines the benefits of traditional brokerage with the structured timeline of an auction.
We’re not agents, so agents working with us always keep their listings and receive a full commission. Closings are contingency-free.

Frequently asked questions
RASEBORG, NEAR HELSINKI, FINLAND: SOLD FOR $1.21M, SNELLMAN SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY
Sellers
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE TO AUCTION INSTEAD OF SELL TRADITIONALLY?
The question is not whether to auction instead of selling traditionally; we are an added tool rather than an alternative, and in all instances, we partner with a listing broker on each sale. We know from experience that the traditional brokerage model has limitations, especially in the ultra-luxury realm. In this rarified air where the buyer pool is limited, properties simply aren’t liquid, even in healthy market conditions.
ARE AUCTIONS ONLY FOR DISTRESSED PROPERTIES?
Not at all. We sell unique properties for clients across a variety of circumstances. The one thing they all have in common is that they chose the auction process after careful consideration and with an eye toward unlocking market value.
WHERE DOES THE AUCTION TAKE PLACE?
All of our auctions are powered by our proprietary online-first technology. Auctions close out either in our online marketplace at conciergeauctions.com or at one of our live sales which take place year-round at the most exclusive venues across the Globe. Please reference Selling at Live Auction to view our live sale calendar.
HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
We bring you the market. We promote your property both globally and locally with world-class sales, digital, and public relations campaigns. The auction will open for two weeks once a Market Reserve has been set. The sale of your home will be followed by an as-is, contingency-free closing, typically within 1–4 weeks after the auction closes.
WHAT WILL MY PROPERTY SELL FOR?
Every auction is unique and we cannot guarantee that the property will sell for more than the highest starting bid. However, the vast majority of auctions see competitive bidding.
WHAT SERVICES ARE INCLUDED WITH CONCIERGE AUCTIONS?
Our proven methodology is designed to sell luxury property in 60 days or less, and it includes:
1. Global and local marketing campaign conducted through our database of 850,000± contacts;
2. Sourcing ideal bidders; and
3. Driving competition through live and online auctions.
Choosing to sell your luxury property with Concierge Auctions connects you to our global network of buyers and agents, awardwinning marketing campaigns, and time-tested bidding sourcing process. Our methodology typically garners 200-400 inquiries, 25-50 showings, and 3-7 bidders.
WHAT DOES IT COST TO WORK WITH US?
We earn 100% of our fee from the Buyer, on average, between 6% and 8% of the high bid amount, paid by the Buyer out of the Buyer’s Premium. Sellers pay any fees associated with the preparation of their own diligence package in advance of the auction and are responsible for the payment of broker commissions according to the listing agreement (typically 5-6%), the same as any residential transaction. For properties located outside of the U.S., Concierge Auctions will pay the buyer’s cooperating broker a 3% success fee out of the Buyer’s Premium.
HOW MANY BIDDERS CAN I EXPECT?
Our target is to have 3-7 registered bidders before the auction begins. New bidders may sign up until 24 hours before the close of auction.
IS THERE A MINIMUM BID?
Every auction opens with a Starting Bid. This Starting Bid is also known as the “Market Reserve” and will be the minimum amount for which the property will be sold.
WHAT IS A “STARTING BID INCENTIVE”?
We offer a “Starting Bid Incentive”, a credit to reduce the Buyer’s Premium by 50% based on the Starting Bid amount submitted by the winning bidder prior to the start of the auction.
WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE MAKES A TRADITIONAL OFFER ON MY PROPERTY DURING THE AUCTION CYCLE?
Once you decide to engage Concierge Auctions, the Seller cannot accept pre-auction offers made during the auction cycle. We encourage all buyers or agents who are considering an offer to participate in the auction.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WINNING BID DEFAULTS?
Bidders are generally required to deposit $100,000 in escrow, and provide further proof of funds, to participate in an auction. In the rare case a bidder defaults, they forfeit their deposit which we split with the seller 50/50. The buyer is also responsible to pay Concierge Auctions an additional penalty of 12% of their high bid. To further protect our sellers, we have the ability to name the back-up bidder, typically the second highest bidder, the winning bidder within five (5) business days of the end of the auction, provided net proceeds to the seller are equal to that of the original high bid. The back-up bidder is required to honor their bid.
WHY IS THERE A PROTECTION PERIOD?
In all of our auctions, the seller has the right to move forward or not prior to the start of the auction. You’re always in control. If you do not elect to open the auction, the property will remain on the market and the protection period ensures that we are compensated for the effort we have put forth on your behalf.
WHY DO I NEED AN AUCTION AGREEMENT?
Similar to an Listing Agreement between you and your agent, the Auction Agreement clearly outlines our commitments to you and your commitments to us. Namely, allowing us to promote the property for a successful outcome at auction.
The Auction Agreement has been reviewed by thousands of sellers and attorneys who have engaged with us over the past 16+ years. It is designed to protect your interests and ours and outlines how we work together during the auction process.
WHY DO I NEED A LISTING AGENT?
We are an auction house and not a brokerage firm. On average, a third of our buyer demand is generated by the local market. Managing local listings requires agents who can operate in specific areas. Having an agent therefore increases the chance of successful sale. Over two decades, we have found that local buyers prefer to work directly with the listing agent or a local brokerage community. Buyers also appreciate the ability to speak with a local agent to get a professional opinion on the property. We have never auctioned a property without partnering with a listing agent.

DO I HAVE TO INCLUDE A BID AMOUNT WHEN I REGISTER?
It is not required to submit a bid amount when you register; however, if you are interested in taking advantage of our Starting Bid Incentive, you must submit a Starting Bid prior 5pm, local property time, the day prior to bidding opening.
WHAT WILL THE INCREMENTS BE?
Our auctioneer will set the increment for every auction.
WHAT IS THE BUYER’S PREMIUM?
The “Buyer’s Premium” is an amount paid by the buyer on top of the purchase price, paid to Concierge Auctions for bringing the property to auction.
WHAT IS THE STARTING BID INCENTIVE (SBI)?
Every auction opens with a Starting Bid. This Starting Bid is also known as the “Market Reserve” and will be the minimum amount for which the property will be sold.
WHAT IS A “STARTING BID INCENTIVE”?
Concierge Auctions offers a Starting Bid Incentive, a credit to reduce the Buyer’s Premium by 50% based on the Starting Bid amount due submitted by the winning bidder prior to the start of the auction opening. All Starting Bids are binding and subject to being received by the deadline.
DO I GET MY DEPOSIT BACK IF I’M NOT THE WINNING BIDDER?
Yes. Bidder deposits are automatically returned within no more than three (3) business days for non-winning bidders and five (5) business days for the Back-Up Bidder following the auction.
CAN I FINANCE?
All of our properties are sold on an as-is basis with no contingencies, including financing. You may choose to finance the property, but the sale is not contingent upon securing financing.
WHAT TYPES OF PROOF OF FUNDS DO YOU ACCEPT?
Proof of funds come in a variety of forms to show liquid funds to cover the purchase of the property, and must come from a verified financial institution and include:
The bidder’s name
A current date
An amount to cover the Starting Bid, at minimum.
Proof of funds can be provided in the form of a letter from your financial institution or a recent statement of your liquid account balance.
WHERE CAN I FIND THE WIRE INSTRUCTIONS?
The wire instructions are located on the Starting Bid & Agent Registration form, which can be found in the “Diligence Documents” section of the property page on our website.
WHERE CAN I FIND DILIGENCE DOCUMENTS FOR A PROPERTY?
All diligence items for the property are available on the property page of our website, in the “Diligence Documents” section.
WHAT DOES IT COST TO WORK WITH US?
We earn 100% of our fee from the Buyer, on average, between 6% and 8% of the high bid amount, paid by the Buyer out of the Buyer’s Premium. Sellers pay any fees associated with the preparation of their own diligence package in advance of the auction and are responsible for the payment of broker commissions according to the listing agreement (typically 5-6%), the same as any residential transaction.
For properties located outside of the U.S., Concierge Auctions will pay the buyer’s cooperating broker a 3% success fee out of the Buyer’s Premium.
DO I HAVE TO BE REPRESENTED BY AN AGENT?
Over the last two decades, we have found that buyers appreciate the ability to be represented by an agent; however, this is not required. If you are represented and you are the winning bidder, compensation will be paid to any properly registered broker pursuant to Concierge Auctions’ Bidder Terms & Conditions. You should declare Agent representation by including this information on the Starting Bid & Agent registration form.
CAN MY AGENT REGISTER THEMSELVES TO REPRESENT ME AS A BIDDER?
No. The bidder must input the name of the agent representing them on the Starting Bid & Agent registration form.
CAN I REGISTER WITH AN LLC OR ANOTHER NAME?
Yes. Certificate of Incorporation or other business entity documentation must be provided to link the LLC (or other entity) name with the name of the bidder.
DOES THE SALE HAVE CONTINGENCIES?
No contingencies. Buyer’s purchase of the property is a cash transaction and is not subject to or dependent upon any contingencies or conditions of any kind, including, without limitation, a contingency for financing, due diligence, or inspections.
DOES THE BUYER PAY A VAT?
If any VAT (value-added tax) or similar tax is due in connection with the payment of the Buyer’s Premium, it shall be the Buyer’s sole
obligation to pay all VAT and similar taxes. The term “Purchase Price” shall mean the High Bid, excluding other amounts payable by the Buyer in connection with closing, such as customary closing costs, escrow/closing fees, VAT, property taxes, insurance, transfer fees/ taxes in accordance with the Purchase and Sale Contract. Therefore, Buyer’s total obligation toward the purchase of the Property is equal to the Purchase Price, the Buyer’s Premium and those customary closing costs, including without limitation payment of any VAT in connection with Buyer’s purchase and the Buyer’s Premium. To that end, all Bidders are strongly encouraged to review the Purchase and Sale Contract prior to bidding and to consult with an attorney or other professional.
HOW DO I RESET MY PASSWORD?
Prior to logging in to your account, you can use the “Forgot Password” function to reset your password. Even if you know your password and want to reset, you still need to logout and use the “Forgot Password” function. A link will then be emailed to you for resetting.
