Aspen, Colorado Luxury Properties Sold Through Auction After Four-Week Global Marketing Campaign Led by Concierge Auctions and Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty
Previously listed for six years, three luxury properties sell to qualified bidders
ASPEN, Colo., March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Two new-construction luxury residences and a premier homesite located in the heart of Aspen have been sold by Concierge Auctions in cooperation with listing agent Raifie Bass of Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty. Interest was so strong that one of the homes sold prior to the scheduled auction date. The buyers were represented by Joshua Saslove of Joshua & Co., who holds affiliations with Christie's International Real Estate, Luxury Portfolio International, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate; Harrison Sachs of Carol Dopkin Real Estate; and Debra Mayer of Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty.
"I was very impressed with the way the auction was run and the presentation of the process to the market," stated Saslove. "I had been talking to my client about the opportunity for the past few weeks, and it was fortuitous that the timing was right and he was in town for the auction. We didn't have a definitive plan to participate, but at the last minute he decided to move forward and ultimately was the winner. It was a surprisingly eventful day, and I was glad to be part of it."
"It was a positive outcome for everyone involved. The seller's objective was achieved, and we have three very happy buyers," stated Bass. "The Concierge process generated more activity in four weeks than these properties had received in the past six years combined. It attracted attention from around the world and created quite a buzz throughout Aspen. The end result: The properties are sold. Job well done to everyone involved."
Fox Crossing is comprised of 20 distinct homes, each designed with a unified architectural look in Aspen's East End. Situated around a private internal park, each home features the trademark Charles Cunniffe style: dry stacked stone and timber with stucco exteriors and custom interiors that provide unobstructed views of Aspen Mountain.
Sold were 537 Race Alley, a seven bedroom, six and a half bath residence boasting 5,677 square feet and spectacular views; 511 Walnut Street, a 5,078-square-foot corner lot home named "The Olympic," offering stunning views of snow-capped Aspen and Buttermilk Mountains from each of its four bedrooms; and Homesite C, cleared and ready for construction.
Concierge Auctions' worldwide exposure campaign identified 240 buyer prospects and 17 bidders from Colorado, Florida, New York, Texas and Canada. The auction website generated over 3,600 visitors from all US states and 57 international countries.
"It was a joy to work alongside Raifie Bass and the Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty team, and it was also exciting to receive such positive response from other top brokers in the market," stated Laura Brady, Vice President of Marketing for Concierge Auctions. "We understand and appreciate the importance of brokers to the real estate sales process, which is why we fully protect commissions in all of our sales. Our advertising campaigns span worldwide to reach buyers in target markets, but local broker participation is essential, as their clients trust in their guidance. Auction sales are non-contingent, quick transactions, and brokers who are receptive come to realize how easy and beneficial it is to participate — both on the buying and selling side."
