Concierge Auction X Sotheby's International Realty

At the crossroads of luxury and efficiency, Concierge Auctions redefines high-end real estate sales thanks to its strategic partnership with Sotheby's International Realty and Sotheby's auction house.

Founded in 2008, Concierge Auctions has established itself as the leader in luxury real estate auctions, connecting sellers of unique properties with qualified international buyers.

Concierge Auction: a guarantee of speed

Concierge Auctions' platform offers predictability and liquidity to sellers in accelerated timeframes. By partnering with local real estate agencies, Concierge Auction offers innovative property marketing.

Buyers, meanwhile, have direct access to incredible offers on prestigious properties worldwide.

Collaboration with the traditional real estate model

Concierge Auctions is designed to work in collaboration with real estate agents as a trusted advisor. The company always works hand-in-hand with a local real estate broker.

Strategic partnership between Concierge Auction and Sotheby's

In November 2021, auction house Sotheby's and Realogy - owner of the Sotheby's International Realty franchise and the #1 residential and commercial real estate group in the United States - jointly acquired an 80% stake in Concierge Auctions.

This alliance strengthens Concierge Auctions' position as a leader in the real estate auction sector, as well as its collaboration with the Sotheby's International Realty network to auction properties from the world's leading luxury real estate network.

A partnership that makes sense between Concierge Auction and Sotheby's

Through the partnership with Sotheby's and Realogy, and thus the Sotheby's International Realty network, Concierge Auctions benefits from a rise in power and positions itself as a partner of the two giants of the luxury market.

Although the marketing strategy is different from that of a traditional real estate sale, it is nevertheless systematically centered on international distribution, which the Sotheby's International Realty network amplifies - and which we also have at Côte d'Azur Sotheby's International Realty.

Concierge Auction is a genuine additional and differentiating tool in terms of luxury real estate marketing, positioning itself as the benchmark real estate auction partner for your real estate experts at Côte d'Azur Sotheby's International Realty.

Sotheby's brings to Concierge Auctions its expertise in luxury auctions, including innovation in online and live auctions, and access to an unrivalled global network of fine art and luxury collectors.

Concierge Auction takes center stage at Sotheby's

Since this new privileged partnership, Concierge Auction sales have become increasingly high-profile and linked to those of the world-famous auction house.

Sotheby's Hong Kong proudly hosted Sotheby's Concierge Auctions' Exceptional Global Properties auction in October 2023, a ground-breaking event that marked both Sotheby's 50th anniversary in Asia and the first-ever live real estate exhibition to be held in Asia. Featuring a selection of Sotheby's International Realty's offerings, the first real estate auction, held on October 3, set new standards for the industry.

Led by Frank Trunzo, Chief Auctioneer of Sotheby's Concierge Auctions, the Exceptional Global Properties live auction featured competitive bidding, with a total of $210 million in bids and a selection of offers in Texas, including an increase of over 97% on the average starting bid price for an equestrian estate near Dallas, and a sale price of over $14 million for a waterfront estate on coveted Westlake Drive in Austin, Texas.

Sotheby's Concierge Auction doesn't stop there, and also takes Luxury Week by storm, which closes the annual auction season at Sotheby's New York. Presented simultaneously with similar offerings on sothebys.com and conciergeauctions.com, handpicked Sotheby's International Realty properties will benefit from international reach and positioning alongside the world's finest art and luxury items thanks to the company's partnership with Sotheby's.
