We have now selected Paul Benson, License Partner & Private Office Advisor at Engel & Völkers and CEO at Gestalt Group as a member of our Agent Advisory Board.
This group of esteemed top agents and brokers, who together have billions of dollars in luxury sales from across the globe, represent a think tank on the state of luxury real estate sales and marketing. The board meets quarterly to share insights and guide, particularly with its relationship to the brokerage community, with a focus on agent-specific education, tools, and technology.
Benson has enjoyed a long and distinguished career in real estate. He is the license partner and owner of 21 Engel & Völkers shops located in Utah, California, and Nevada. He has been consistently ranked as a top producing agent both locally and internationally since 2005 and has been named the top agent by the Park City Board of REALTORS® for the last seven years. He was named the #1 agent worldwide for all of Engel & Völkers Network in 2017.
As a seasoned sales, business development, and marketing executive with 20 years of experience in the luxury market, Paul has successfully negotiated the sales of multi-million dollar properties, setting many records in the process. The Benson team has successfully sold over $2 billion in volume, closing over 1000 transactions in the past 10 years. In 2018, he sold the most expensive property in Utah.
The first meeting took place earlier this year at the Montage Los Cabos in Cabos San Lucas, Mexico. By sharing their collective wisdom, these real estate leaders will become a resource for agents and brokers who are seeking information on the auction process. Board members serve as ambassadors on behalf of Concierge Auctions in their communities as well as at industry events.
“I’m excited to welcome Paul Benson to our Advisory Board. Tapping the collective knowledge of such an esteemed group of individuals is a true honor,” said Laura Brady, President of Concierge Auctions. “In our business, information and relationships are everything, and each of these agents and brokers represents the best of the best in not only their marketplaces but also the world over.”
“Our first meeting was highly productive,” added Chad Roffers, Chairman of Concierge Auctions. “Already we have an exciting list of new ideas to implement and we look forward to continuing to refine our luxury marketplace as a resource for sellers on a fixed timeline.”
“Concierge Auctions is an essential partnership for my business as clients deserve all options available including a leading auction company,” stated Paul Benson, “Concierge is the leader in marketing and selling luxury homes and has one of the largest databases in the world which offers my clients the flexibility and options to make the best decision possible.”
