World’s largest luxury real estate auction firm now accepting marquee consignments to reach international buyers; bidding closing live in London this May.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions, the world’s largest auction firm for luxury real estate, today announces it is now accepting consignments for its inaugural live sale at Sotheby’s London, showcasing the finest Sotheby’s International Realty real estate in the world.
The May sale will match multi-million-dollar properties to high-net-worth buyers worldwide, with bidding closing live at Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries in London.
Simultaneously showcased with similar marquee offerings on sothebys.com and casothebys.com, the properties hand-picked for inclusion benefit from expansive international reach alongside the firm’s partnership with Sotheby’s, the world’s premier destination for fine art and luxury goods.
“Our global sales are some of our most highly sought-after dates,” stated Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions President Chad Roffers. “Via our brand connectivity with Sotheby’s, we’re excited to announce this inaugural sale, exclusive to Sotheby’s International Realty listings worldwide, with the close of bidding live at Sotheby’s London. This rare opportunity gives sellers and agents the opportunity to be some of the first-ever to sell a property live at the famed auction house; our May sale is also especially monumental in that it will be the first of its kind to gavel internationally, in London.”
Properties also receive exposure by way of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ proven platform and global database, including targeted direct reach to its database of more than 825,000 buyers, agents, industry experts, and more than 2,500 of the world’s billionaires, with additional reach to high-net-worth property connoisseurs in key feeder markets and the fastest-growing luxury cities in the world.
Debuting live to the world from Sotheby’s New York headquarters, the firm’s December sale, conducted by head auctioneer Frank Trunzo achieved over $620 million and nearly 200 in aggregate bids placed and 93% sold by lot, bringing Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ running-total of worldwide sales to nearly $3 billion. Fully integrated within Sotheby’s bi-annual Luxury Week sales series, displayed and sold alongside Sotheby’s rare and exceptional offerings of Jewelry, Watches, Collector Cars, Designer Handbags, Books & Manuscripts, Natural History, Sneakers, Spirits, Wine, and more, an audience of more than one hundred were in attendance, with over 82 property connoisseurs competing enthusiastically from 11 countries/territories—the United States, Singapore, the Cayman Islands, Canada, USVI, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Puerto Rico—in the room, on the telephone via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions team of specialists, and online.
