The global leader of luxury real estate auction sales, Concierge Auctions achieved the strongest year in its nearly 20-year history as it continues to set new benchmarks for the industry and dominate the luxury real estate auction sector. The firm delivered landmark results in 2025, surpassing $5 billion in historic global sales in 35 countries and 46 U.S. states, and growing its database to nearly 1 million proprietary contacts. The year was unprecedented, with inaugural marquee live sale events held in the world’s most influential financial markets, record-breaking prices, partnerships with the industry’s most trusted brands, and expansion of services—including new divisions focused exclusively on the luxury condominium and private sales markets—making headlines and further solidifying the firm as the No. 1 luxury real estate auction house globally.
Continuing to establish its position as the “go-to” brand, executing on a proven platform that eliminates uncertainty and delivers a desirable outcome for buyers, sellers, and agents of high-end real estate in an accelerated timeframe, Concierge Auctions achieved over $4.88 billion in aggregate bids and $670 million in sales for 185 property auctions in 2025. The auctions spanned 21 US states and 11 countries, including the Bahamas, Canada, China, Costa Rica, France, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Now in its 18th year of business with virtually no competition, the firm continues to command 85 percent of the global luxury residential auction market and is the only in the industry successfully auctioning property above $20 million.
“Luxury real estate auctions have rightfully taken center stage. This is a significant, growing solution for selling the world’s finest real estate, offering speed, global reach, transparency, and a clear and succinct timeline that achieves results in less than 60 days in what can often take years for sellers via the traditional sales route alone,” said Chad Roffers, Co-Founder and CEO of Concierge Auctions. “Year over year, we have consecutively remained No. 1 in the luxury real estate auction space because we continue to innovate, add new offerings, partner with the brokerage community, and curate the best-in-class properties for the world’s most savvy buyers.”
"The year 2025 stands as a tremendous success, marking the strongest performance in our nearly two-decade history," stated Krystal Aeby, President of Concierge Auctions. "The foundation of every achievement is a seller who placed their trust in us, a buyer who bid with confidence, and a team that consistently delivered beyond expectation. This outcome is a direct result of vision meeting execution, innovation aligning with integrity, and luxury real estate auctions being executed with the utmost precision."

Private Auction Platform
Solving for the critical challenge of sellers who need competitive pricing and time certainty but do not want the publicity, Concierge Auctions also launched its new Private Auction platform.
Delivering the competitive dynamics and time certainty of an auction on top of complete discretion, sellers achieve market-driven pricing while maintaining absolute privacy throughout. Properties are never publicly listed or marketed, ensuring privacy regarding prices, terms, and transaction details.
The approach provides direct access to Concierge Auctions’ proprietary database of nearly 1 billion and its Private Client Group, representing the most qualified buyers in the luxury market including over 16,000 past clients and 250+ billionaires, founders, and family offices. Simultaneously competing for exceptional properties, this drives pricing beyond what sequential negotiations achieve while delivering the time certainty and absolute discretion that traditional private sales cannot match. Private Auction remains fully inclusive to the brokerage community and buyers receive exclusive access to premier properties never publicly listed or marketed.
The highlight of the Private Auction platform sales in 2025 included a premier estate in the prestigious Hamptons area of New York which successfully sold after never being publicly listed or marketed.
New Developer Division
In March, Concierge Auctions announced the launch of a new division designed to provide developers and financial institutions with a strategic, accelerated sales solution for mid-to-high-rise luxury condominium inventory, complementing traditional sales efforts, enhancing exposure, and optimizing sales velocity in competitive markets.
