New Luxury Residence in The Strand at Headlands in Dana Point, California Sold at Auction April 17 and Closed May 12

DANA POINT, Calif., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Concierge Auctions (www.conciergeauctions.com), the leading luxury real estate auction company, successfully sold and closed 7 White Water Lane in Dana Point, California, announced George Graham, CEO of Concierge Auctions.  The new residence, located in one of Orange County's most premier oceanfront communities, sold at auction on April 17 and closed on May 12.  Neighboring 9 White Water Lane is scheduled for auction on May 20.  

"The sale and closing of 7 White Water Lane is significant amidst today's challenging market," stated Kelly Burt, the seller of 7 White Water Lane.   "After less than 60 days of exposing the property to a global audience, Concierge Auctions identified a number of qualified prospects and ultimately found new owners who are wonderful additions to the community.  Buyers interested in the next best opportunity in the area should take notice of the May 20th auction of 9 White Water Lane, which will sell to the highest bidder at or above $7.9 million."

As a preferred auction provider to Sotheby's International Realty, Concierge Auctions was pleased that both parties in the transaction were represented by Coast Sotheby's International Realty: listing agent Kindy Slagle, and buyer's agent Nick Church.

"Our partnership with Concierge Auctions on the sale of 7 White Water Lane resulted in 157 buyer prospects and over 9,000 website visitors from 48 states," stated Bob Chapman, Broker/Owner of Coast Sotheby's International Realty.  "This outcome is outstanding for this caliber of property and is a testament to Concierge Auctions' innovative processes, well-rounded team, and qualified buyer and agent following.  We look forward to working with their team again on the upcoming auction of 9 White Water Lane, and we are also suggesting their program to other Orange County sellers."

"The auction process was very transparent and streamlined," stated Church.  "The Concierge Auctions team guided me and my clients every step of the way – from viewing and inspecting the property to registering to bid.  Ultimately they (the buyers) were extremely satisfied by their purchase and decided to close escrow prior to the scheduled closing date. I definitely look forward to working with the Concierge Auctions team in the future."

"We are pleased to be growing our presence in Southern California, as well as other locations nationwide," stated Graham.  "In today's market, traditional brokerage processes alone pose significant challenges for sellers who want or need their properties closed by a certain date.  In most cases the signing of a contract is only the beginning of the negotiations; as inspections, mortgage contingencies and other stipulations open the seller up to re-negotiations throughout the entire contract period.  In the Concierge Auctions process, the signed contract is the end of the negotiations. Our auctions unite real buyers and real sellers, allow value to be identified in a transparent atmosphere, and produce non-contingent contracts with buyers who are confident in their purchases.  It is a win-win for all parties involved."

The auction of 9 White Water Lane at The Strand at Headlands in Dana Point, California will be held on Thursday, May 20 at 11am PDT. The sale will be conducted in conjunction with Coast Sotheby's International Realty, with full cooperation to the brokerage community. The property is available for preview Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm to 4pm, and daily by appointment.  For more information, visit www.TheStrandAuction.com or call 877-214-3785.
