Frank Aazami’s Featured Listing Prior to Auction 560 days on Market The Private Client Group/Concierge Auctions partnership sold this Scottsdale home, unique in style and floor plan. In cooperation with partner listing agents, just 48 days of exposure resulted in 69 open house visitors, 35 qualified show- ings and nine registered bidders. “The Private Client Group and Concierge Auctions sold this north Scottsdale home in 2012 for $5.35 million; the same property sold two years later in a better market for $5.1 million, plus the seller offered ‘seller carry terms,’” Aazami says.

Our objective is to strike a conver- sation, motivate people who have been sitting on the fence and get their property sold in the process.” Why Concierge Auctions? Concierge Auctions, based in New York City, has worked in 38 states and 18 countries. The firm recently targeted two portfolio-style sales similar to this one to- ward Chinese buyers, which resulted in great success. Total worldwide sales for the company exceed $1.5 billion, and 2017 trophy sales include a water- front Château in Geneva, Switzerland, and a nearly $40 -million residence in Dallas, Texas. The properties for the Arizona event will be uploaded to ConciergeAuctions.com during the first two weeks of January and will be updated through the morning of the auction. Aazami and Concierge Auctions are planning preview events at each of the portfolio properties in January, coinciding with two of the car auctions, Barrett-Jackson and RM Sotheby’s in, respectively, Scottsdale and Phoenix between January 13 and 21. These will be updated to the website. “This first event will certainly become an annual ‘auction after the auctions’ in the Valley of the Sun,” Aazami says. “We welcome your interest.” For more information or to register for the auction, please contact Aazami at e-mail, [email protected]; text “SIRFAAZAMI” to 87778; call 480.266.0240; and see PrivateClientGroupAgents.com.
