Eleven years ago, Concierge Auctions was founded as an enhancement to traditional methods alone; and today, is the most effective way to transact high-end properties in partnership with the brokerage community. Since day one, every property we bring into our marketplace is in collaboration with the property owner and the listing agent. Our relationship with the brokerage community remains at the core of Concierge Auctions, as we continue to receive more interest than ever from buyers, sellers, and agents for our on-demand solution. For us, this isn’t reflexive; it’s a company value, which is why we are extremely discerning not only in the properties that we present to auction, but also our brokerage partners. We believe partnerships should be based on mutual trust and shared strategic opportunities. Such opportunities allow both our partner organizations and us to expand in new markets that provides immense potential for growth. Italy represents one of those markets. Today, we are honored to announce our newest alliance with Italy Sotheby's International Realty.
