Luxury buyers and sellers nationwide are realizing that the Concierge Auctions process is the future of luxury real estate sales."

Selling fully-furnished, the four-bedroom home offers mesmerizing views of the Pacific Ocean, and each of the bedroom suites has a private bath complete with an outdoor shower garden enclosed by lava rock walls. The kitchen features a wraparound bi-level island designed to create a "gathering place."
