1487011306NEW YORK, NY - New York City-based Concierge Auctions continued to dominate the luxury real estate auction market in 2016, reaching over $1 billion in aggregate sales, achieving first-time sales in Europe and several record-setting transactions around the globe. In addition to its international expansion of including sales in France, Spain, and the United Kingdom (and, additional sales in Canada, Jamaica, and Mexico), each quarter saw record-breaking stats and further established the nine-year-old firm as a pioneering, global marketplace. 2016 also saw the growth of one of the most valuable, ultra-high-net-worth client lists in the industry and strong implementation of the firm's game-changing technologies, including its custom Instant Gavel® app.

Concierge Auctions Il Incanto

"We are now active in 37 U.S. states/territories and 15 countries, with more added each month," stated Concierge Auctions President and Founder Laura Brady. "In 2016, we achieved significant milestones that drove our growth in key markets both nationally and internationally, selling nearly $300 million in high-end real estate. We built upon our technology platform, expanded our network, and broke new ground in more continents. This continued success demonstrates that our model works for the efficient purchase and sale of unique, high-end real estate all over the world. And, it is a promising sign that the best is yet to come in 2017."

Concierge Auctions' notable domestic transactions spanned 20 U.S. states in 2016 and included many record-setting sales including Hacienda de las Palmas, a Monterey Spanish-styled private residence located in one of the most affluent zip codes in the country, which achieved the highest sale price in Rancho Santa Fe, California for the year; 885 Hill Lane in Reno, Nevada, a European-style, mountain cottage circa the 1700s, which achieved the highest sale price in the area in the last 10 years; and a grand manor in Colorado Springs and new construction beachfront home in South Carolina, both of which achieved the highest sale prices within their respective markets in many years.

Additional highlights included the $10.725 million sale of 72-2941 Hainoa Street at the exclusive Hualalai Resort in Hawaii, home to the Four Seasons Hualalai, which marked the firm's highest price ever in the state; the famed Kleeberg Residence at 3 Riverside Drive, Concierge Auctions' first private home sale in New York City; and 212 White Pine Canyon Road in Park City, Utah, a modern-day manor set on the ski slopes of the world-class Park City Mountain Resort.

"The auction process generated great exposure for the property within an accelerated time period," said Hacienda de las Palmas Seller Rick Nicholas. "We were pleased the Concierge team found a new family to enjoy the home as much as we have. In fact, as a result of the heightened interest, we negotiated the sale pre-auction. There is no doubt in my mind that the auction process brought us the buyer. It was the right decision."

Internationally, Concierge held auctions for properties across eight countries including the U.S., the most notable of which was the €8 million sale of Finca Sa Vinya, a 200-year-old Spanish villa in Mallorca, Spain. Other sales abroad included 26 Park Lane Circle, a 23,000-square-foot, copper-roofed estate, located within Toronto's famed Bridle Path neighborhood, sold by former newspaper publisher Conrad Black.

 

"Our growth continues to be a sign that sellers and forward-thinking real estate professionals are looking to compress the timeline and maximize the price of luxury real estate. Our sellers value control, predictability, and liquidity. And, our buyers gain access to some of the best properties available for sale around the world in a transparent process," stated Chairman Chad Roffers.

Born out of the brokerage community, Concierge Auctions has never auctioned a property without an agent partner. This is a key tenet of the firm — to give control back to agents and their clients.

"We always partner with listing agents, and having experienced first-hand the limitations of traditional efforts alone, it has been rewarding to continue to expand our relationships within the real estate community," Roffers added.

Additional 2016 company milestones included achieving record-breaking sales over all four consecutive quarters; receiving seven Telly Awards for the firm's innovative film production; the recognition of Brady and Roffers as two of "The Most Influential People in Real Estate" by Inman News, a first for Roffers and Brady's third consecutive selection; an increase in the firm's unrivaled number of global contacts from over 298,000 to over 421,000; an increase in subscribers from over 48,000 to over 62,000; becoming a preferred agent partner to Luxury Portfolio International®; and being named in Inc. Magazine's list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. for the third consecutive year.
