TESTIMONIALS
We were impressed by Concierge Auctions' unique understanding of the significance of Tulip Hill and by its effective communication of the property's historical attributes to the marketplace. We became aware of the auction through the company's widespread yet precisely-controlled outreach efforts, which positioned the property on a platform similar to a one-of-a-kind antique or art masterpiece. Although we were outbid, we appreciated the amount of identified buyers who through Concierge's efforts were educated on the quality of the opportunity, and we were impressed by the ultimate outcome for the seller. We will definitely be watching Concierge Auctions' upcoming auctions with great anticipation.”
Jack Biddle - Second Highest Bidder, Historic Tulip Hill | Harwood, MDThe Concierge Auctions process generated a tremendous response. We had more interested buyers through the property than had visited in the entire 26 months of it being listed previously through traditional brokerage efforts alone. We partnered with Concierge because of their great reputation. They were professional from the start, and their marketing efforts were outstanding. We are pleased with the result and excited that Felicity Farm will be enjoyed by its new owners for years to come.”
Chris Robbins - Seller, Felicity Farm | Wawa, PAThe result achieved by this auction is a significant accomplishment. Felicity Farm was previously listed for over two years, and although it had received significant exposure on the market, a suitable offer had not been received. The Concierge Auctions method is very effective. It activates the marketplace by setting a date that the property will sell and forcing buyers to act. This is a great tool for sellers who want quick results amidst the uncertainties of today's market. I will definitely recommend Concierge Auctions to other clients and look forward to working with them again.”
Debbie McCabe - Agent, Prudential Fox & Roach Realtors | Wayne, PAI was fortunate to work with George Graham and Concierge Auctions in the auctioning of Tulip Hill c.1756 near Annapolis, MD. The Concierge marketing team had a comprehensive strategy for positioning this property in front of motivated and qualified buyers, and executed the auction with over a dozen bidders attending from across the USA and several from Europe. The property sold for over the prior market list price. It is interesting to note that the high bidder had been considering the property for over a year, but it took the urgency of the auction for her to act. This was truly an impressive event and most importantly, the seller is very happy. I worked closely with Concierge during their five-week process leading up to the sale of Tulip Hill. They included me as the listing agent in all aspects of the process and marketing, and made certain that media and the seller were well aware of the significant role I and Long & Foster played in the process. Of their many strengths, Concierge impressed me most with their targeted professional marketing expertise, compact timeline, Realtor involvement, and a masterful close on auction day. I introduced Concierge to 2 of my other listing sellers, both of whom attended the Tulip Hill auction to observe and both were extremely impressed and plan to use Concierge to auction their properties.”
Gary Gestson - Historic Home Specialist, Long & Foster Real Estate | Gaithersburg, MDI am extremely pleased with the outcome. Concierge Auctions exposed the property to a global audience of qualified buyers and accomplished my objective of selling in an accelerated period of time amidst a very challenging market. It is especially gratifying that they were able to find new owners who will make this wonderful community their home.”
Kelly Burt - Seller, 7 White Water Lane | Dana Point, CAThis was a first for us – bidding on a house at auction. My husband and I had lots of questions, and Stuart Mattison gave us all the time and information we needed. On auction day, Stuart was right there, often by my side, giving me the support and assistance I needed to secure the house of our dreams. We want to thank Stuart and his associates for one of life’s memorable moments.”
Donna O'Connell - Buyer, 72-3205 Punaloa Place | Kona, HawaiiMy experience with Concierge was satisfactory to say the least. Times were extremely difficult in the real estate market when through Sotheby’s International Realty and Richard Lewis we were directed to Concierge. They are tireless and professional, and while we all would have preferred a higher price, I’m certain they came close to maximizing the effort and therefore the results. Would I use them again? Yes, without question.”
Peter F. Shields - Seller, The Rockin' S Ranch | Teton Valley, IDConcierge Auctions is predicated upon innovation. Amidst today’s economic climate, diversification in your marketing techniques is paramount to success. For select listings, the activity generated by Concierge may be the best option to obtain the highest net value. I endorse Concierge’s services, particularly for unique and ultra-luxury properties.”
George Ballantyne - Concierge Auctions’ Sotheby’s International Realty® liasonMy experience with the Concierge Auctions Team was top notch at every level. From the delivery of the auction sales materials, to the auction itself, and to the follow up for my client who bought during the auction, the attention to detail and client satisfaction was impeccable.

Jim Allison - Agent, Coldwell Banker Maryl Realty | Kona, HIJust a few words to tell you what a nice time we had at your auction today. We were so very impressed with the professionalism and friendliness. We look forward to hearing about another outstanding opportunity to buy a Concierge Auctions home from your fine company at an incomparable price. We will follow your website and tell our friends about our very positive experience today. We had a great time today, and I have told Anne several times... we should have been the final bidder on that home!"
Elliot Oaklander - Second Highest Bidder, 9815 Laurel Valley Drive | Windermere, FLI had the pleasure of working with Concierge Auctions on the sale of a premier ranch in Teton Valley. The property had been listed for a number of years, and our prior marketing efforts, although plentiful and widespread, had not generated the right buyer. In three weeks the auction opportunity identified over 60 prospects, set a record price for the area, and accomplished our client’s goals. It was a successful outcome for all parties involved.” Richard Lewis - Jackson Hole Sotheby’s International Realty®
We were very pleased with the professionalism of the Concierge Auctions team. Through their process we were able to identify a qualified buyer who is excited to become a resident of our fine community."
