W E A R E R E A L E S TAT E : O U R O R I G I N S TO RY Real estate is in our blood. Our origin story began when CEO Laura Brady met Chairman Chad Roffers in 2004. She was one of the top-producing luxury real estate agents in the country by the age of 25. He was a successful entrepreneur and luxury real estate brokerage owner. Frustrated by limitations in the industry, they came together to create a more efficient method for buying and selling the world’s finest homes. Today, we are recognized as a cutting-edge, global force.

We have the largest footprint of any real estate auction marketplace—more than our top five competitors combined—owning 80%+ of the luxury auction space.

And, we have the most valuable ultra-high-net-worth database of active buyers in the real estate and auction industries. Since our inception in 2008, we have generated more than $2.5 billion in sales, have broken world records for the highest priced homes ever sold at auction, and have been active in 41 U.S. states/ territories and 29 countries.

A F F I L I AT I O N S Concierge Auctions is a corporate alliance affiliate to THIRDHOME and an exclusive or preferred auction provider to the following global broker networks: Berkshire Hathaway Home Services of America, Engel & Völkers, Leverage Global Partners, Luxury Portfolio International, Naef Prestige Knight Frank, Sotheby’s International Realty, and Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate.

WE SELL ONE-OF-A-KIND, UNI QUE PROPERTIES YO U R N E X T S M A RT B U S I N E S S D EC I S I O N Our sellers choose to auction as a smart financial decision. They did not end up owning a prime property by luck, but rather by making thoughtful choices. We’re here to help make another.

LU X U RY H O M E S A R E U N I Q U E All of the things that make a luxury property unique are the reasons it will likely fall into one of two categories.

A | The home will sell quickly (60–180 days) at a high percentage of the list price; or B | The home will likely linger on the market for years, and sell for a fraction of the original asking price.

“ B U Y N OW ” P RO G R A M

We analyze each property and the local market conditions to determine the most effective approach.

Our optional “Buy Now” program allows offers to be made on properties prior to their scheduled auction. It is not uncommon to receive a pre-auction offer, and all offers are presented to sellers for consideration.

WITHOUT/NO RESERVE | The property will sell to the highest bidder at auction. There is no minimum bid that must be exceeded to purchase the property; or RESERVE | The property will sell at or above a pre-determined price threshold at auction.

ONLINE BIDDING The majority of our auctions take place via our online marketplace, ConciergeAuctions.com.

Dedicated representatives are also available for assistance via phone. Bidding is typically open for 48–72 hours.

O U R S U CC E S S R AT E We have a dedicated, in-house closing team with a historical close rate of 87% for all properties that are successfully auctioned.

All interested parties complete due diligence during the exposure period of the property, as all sales are “as-is” without contingencies, typically within 1–4 weeks of the scheduled auction. The Auction Terms and Conditions, Purchase Contract, and available property documents can be downloaded directly from the property’s page on our website.

CONCIERGE + AGENT PARTNERS

SOLD | PHOENIX, AZ | $2.495M

AG E N T & B RO K E R LOYA L One of our key tenets when we founded Concierge Auctions was giving control back to agents and their clients. We know first-hand that agents are necessary in buying and selling high-end real estate. They know the community. They know the market. And, they know each other. The right agent is worth their weight in gold. That is why we are the only auction company to date that has worked in cooperation with a broker/ agent on every sale, and we protect commissions on both sides of the transaction.

P R E F E R R E D AG E N T N E T WO R K Over the past decade, we have established our own network of top agents from across the globe who are experienced with our platform and the luxury market. We understand the value this network brings in terms of experience and local market knowledge. Preferred agents have a deep understanding of the local market and the leverage of an extensive business and personal network. Between us, the agent, and our seller, this is a win-win-win for everyone.

DAYS ON MARKET + SALE PRICE

SOLD | AUSTIN, TX |

LISTED FOR $16.9M

L I V I N G I N A Z I L LOW ® WO R L D Buyers can clearly see the full history of a property, including total Days On Market, price history, every listing agent hired, every price reduction made, every time a property has been de-listed and re-listed.

Here’s the hard truth: These strategies don’t work. Today, information about a property’s history is more transparent than ever.

DAYS O N M A R K E T A R E T H E E N E M Y Research shows the largest factor in determining the price of a luxury property is the number of days that it has been marketed for sale. The result is directly correlated to what happened before calling us, and the odds are working against the property every day. Like UV rays on the skin, they are toxic, and the longer luxury properties are exposed, the more harmful they become. Every day a property is on the market, it depreciates in value. When a property has been on the market for a prolonged period of time, not only does it suffer from negative perception, but there’s an inherent cost associated with the accumulated days. We eliminate this cost.

LUXURY REAL ESTATE: FROM NECESSARY TO DISCRETIONARY T H E I N F L EC T I O N P O I N T There is a point of inflection where real estate turns from necessary to discretionary. Similar to other luxury consumption—cars, planes, yachts, and wine—once a home has not only been enjoyed but also highly customized to its owner, it is worth significantly less to the next buyer.

High-end real estate acts the same way; plus it’s static in location. Oftentimes, selling a luxury property quickly is purely due to luck and timing—not price or exposure.

Our sellers are well-capitalized and are looking to utilize our platform as a business decision with a time certain date of sale. Our in-house sales team will analyze key attributes of each opportunity including the location, aesthetics, broker partnership, and seller disposition.

THE BIG QUESTION: H O W L O N G W I L L I T TA K E F O R M Y L U X U R Y P R O P E R Y T O S E L L ?

Each year, Concierge Auctions’ Luxury Homes Index researches and provides insights into the most expensive property sales in the most desirable markets in the United States. To request a full copy of our 2020 Luxury Homes Index, please visit LuxuryHomesIndex.com or call 212.984.3896.

DATA A N D M E T H O D O LO GY: The fourth edition of the Concierge Auctions Luxury Homes Index analyzes the 10 highest property sales in 56 top luxury markets across the United States to determine the impact that the number of days a high-end property is on the market has on its final sale price. Data was compiled by the Concierge Auctions team from multiple listing services (MLS) and public property records.

I N T H E U LT R A- LU X U RY R E A L M , THE BUYER POOL IS LIMITED Luxury properties are difficult to value and sell.

The buyer pool is small and often spread over a large geographic range. Moreover, price has little bearing on demand, and multiple buyers don’t always arrive at once.

Price reductions undermine the value of a property and may cause buyers to sit back and wait, hoping that the price will drop again.

Individual luxury real estate markets are subject to variables that may be independent of the national real estate landscape. The number of competitive properties listed, the absorption rate in the specific market, seasonality, and local economic factors can all help determine how quickly a property will sell.

T H E R E S U LT ?

It can take time for a luxury property seller to find the right buyer.

“

Prior to deciding to auction, our research showed that the sales process for a unique property typically takes over three years. In less than two months, Concierge produced eight bidders who were all willing to buy the property, knowing that they would set the market price. The inquiries from high-networth individuals, including CEOs and entrepreneurs from all over the world, were off the charts. The property hadn’t received that much interest in the prior two years it had been on the market, and with the auction, I can’t imagine it would have in the next two years.”

“

What I was most impressed by was that...the marketing was the best I’ve ever seen. We needed people to come to look at the property, and previously that was difficult. Unfortunately, the fact that it hadn’t sold made everyone think it was the price, but it wasn’t. No one had even offered anything before I hired Concierge. In an unbelievably short period of time, they made the whole nation know about the opportunity and created interest. And people came and experienced it. That’s how the property sold.”

— John Farrand, Seller

The Auction Process

BUYER W I L L I B E A B L E TO S E E A N D I N S P E C T THE PROPERTY?

Bidders may also place bids over the phone with a dedicated Concierge Auctions bidder’s assistant.

Properties are available throughout the exposure period for potential bidders to preview and conduct inspections. Diligence is encouraged as all sales are “asis,” without contingencies. Terms and Conditions of Sale, Purchase Contract, and property documents are available on each property’s page on ConciergeAuctions.com.

A few select auctions are held live at the property or at a venue. Bidders may participate in person or via proxy, phone, our app, or ConciergeAuctions.com.

D O YO U AC C E P T P R E - A U C T I O N O F F E R S ?

Yes. It is not uncommon to receive pre-auction offers.

All offers received prior to auction are presented to the seller for consideration.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE LISTING AGREEMENT I F M Y C L I E N T C H O O S E S TO AU C T I O N ?

We see auction as an additional tool rather than an alternative. However, we know that the traditional model has limitations—especially in the luxury realm where the buyer pool is limited and properties are not very liquid even in healthy market conditions.

With Concierge Auctions, because start to closing is typically within 60 days, you can avoid the carrying costs and opportunity cost associated with long Days on Market. It is intense, effective, and lets you control the timing of your sale. In short, we accomplish in 60 days what far too often takes years.

Your listing agreement remains 100% intact. We have never conducted an auction without a listing agent involved and a commission offered to a buyer’s agent.

HOW DOES THE AUCTION PROCESS WORK? In conjunction with your agent, we showcase your property to targeted members of our global database of more than 650,000 individuals, including our Private Client List of high-net-worth buyers, agents, and industry experts. The process typically results in 200–400 prospects, 25+ showings, and 3–7 qualified buyers competing for your property. Before the auction opens, you can decide whether to move forward after reviewing the field of bidders and their opening bids.

A R E N ’ T A U C T I O N S O N LY F O R D I S T R E S S E D PROPERTIES? No. Our typical seller is well capitalized. They choose auction to control the timing of their sale.

W H AT A U C T I O N F O R M AT S D O YO U U S E ?

We use two auction formats. 1) Without/No Reserve: There is no minimum bid to purchase. 2) Reserve: Will sell at or above a pre-determined price threshold.

WHAT DOES IT COST? HOW DO YOU GET PAID? There are no domestic upfront fees to sellers, and we pay the marketing costs associated with auctioning the property. Our fee comes from a premium paid by the buyer. Sellers pay agent commissions as outlined in their listing agreement.

I A M R E A DY TO A U C T I O N M Y P R O P E R T Y. N O W W H AT ?

We are solely focused on luxury properties and only one in 20 is chosen for our platform. Call us, or have your agent call us, to discuss your property.

C A N I S P E A K W I T H OT H E R AG E N T S W H O H AV E PA R T I C I PAT E D I N YO U R A U C T I O N S ?

Certainly. Visit ConciergeAuctions.com/Agents to see a list of agents with whom we have worked.

CAN I REPRESENT A BIDDER FOR AN A U C T I O N I N A LO C AT I O N I N W H I C H I A M N OT L I C E N S E D ?
