Testimonials

  • The fact that we had 21 bidders from 12 states on our auction day is a testament to the effectiveness of your marketing, and the fact that the winning bidder bought the house for cash shows your skill in getting buyers to act now!

    - K. & B. O'Brien, Savannah, GA
  • The biggest difference between Grand Estates and others is that they wait for something to happen and Grand Estates makes things happen.

    - S. & J. Epstein
  • What a sale! Grand Estates Auction Company came through with flying colors on all they promised. 80 or 90 clients previewed with 27 registered bidders! It was the talk of Lake Norman and had everyone shaking their heads at its success.

    - S. Carpenter, Lake Norman, NC
  • We are amazed at the number of showings that took place in such a short period of time. No stone was unturned and your marketing strategy was excellent.

    - B. Boyd, Charlotte, NC
  • Any seller who is seeking a means of selling luxury property in an expedient manner and is willing to accept the most competitive price the market can bear, I refer to Grand Estates Auction Company.

    - D. Laiacona, Savannah, GA
  • Through high quality marketing, a top-notch sales staff and your great attention to detail, you brought my wish to fruition and amazingly it took less than 60 days from the day I signed up.

    - E. Karesh, Mt. Pleasant, SC
  • We feel most importantly our success was due in large part to your particular auctioning skills and the exceptional sales skills of your staff. Thank you for everything - we are definitely happy sellers.

    - E. & S. Abramson, Vail, CO
  • I want to thank you for making the sale of my home such a success. I was deeply impressed with your skills, marketing and operations of your auction company. As a real estate agent and owner, your auction set a new standard for the Charleston market.

    - J. Near, Charleston, SC
  • I just wanted to write a quick thank you for the great success we had at our auction in Highlands. It was the worst of times for real estate there, but your team created a great turnout of bidders and got it accomplished.

    - J. Morris, Highlands, NC
  • After meeting you on Summerland Key, I was introduced to the merits of a Grand Estates auction. I have discovered that not all luxury auction companies are the same. I was convinced of your superior service previously, but am even more so now!

    - L. Ferringo, Florida Keys
  • Our sale has set a new standard for this area's market and our phone continues to ring with inquiries on how we were able to accomplish such a successful sale. My response has been and continues to be: hire experienced professionals like Grand Estates.

    - M. Reiswig, Arlington, TX
  • Any questions we had along the way were always answered to the fullest by the Grand Estates staff, which only furthered my support and trust in the team. Everyone involved was professional and knowledgeable in representing our property at auction.

    - A. Goldstein, North Hampton, NH
  • As a real estate broker, I am speaking from experience when I rate your company as among the best I have ever encountered. After watching our show house languish on the market for 3 years, it was amazing to auction and close in just 12 days.

    - K. Weber
  • I recently heard two realtors complaining that the market was down over 65% this season, and to know that you broke the record with the highest sale in 2 years is commendable, but in this market it is amazing.

    - J. Eroncig, Aspen, CO
  • The Grand Estates process is by far superior to the more "traditional" approach to real estate sales. GEA attracts potential buyers from around the country and beyond, something we never would have been able to achieve with a traditional listing.

    - P. & D. Richardson, Whitefish, MT
  • From the initial marketing of the property to the final day of auction, Grand Estates' approach to the selling of the home was unique, professional and unprecedented.

    - M. Horton, Badin Lake, NC
  • From the inception of the auction agreement to the moment our house was sold, you and your staff were magnificent. Grand Estates moves quickly and efficiently, and everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable and informative. In short, you guys are pros.

    - R. D. Brewer, South Fork, CO
  • This is the third auction I have had the pleasure of working with you on and have found your firm to be extremely professional and so very well organized. Your honesty, integrity and credible reputation are beyond reproach.

    - L. Romano, Indian Rocks Beach, FL
  • We are still in total shock. We had absolutely no idea our home would sell in the first four days of agreeing to work with Grand Estates Auction Company.

    - M. Gustin, Whitney, TX
  • We had marketed the estate for over a year and a half with some of the best realtors in the area and none of them created nearly the amount of interest that Grand Estates Auction Company did.

    - S. Brown, Key West, FL
  • In the end, your marketing and sales efforts paid off with a turnout better than either of us had hoped for, even during a quite difficult economic environment!

    - B. Atkins, Captiva, FL
The Challenge

Although this incredible estate, with its iconic rugged Aspen craftsmanship nestled in the tall evergreens along Snowmass Creek and surrounded by the snowcapped Rocky Mountains, offered exquisite views and long-term opportunities, the owner had built it as a spec home and hadn’t anticipated facing lengthy holding costs. But faced with a depressed real estate market, which, according to local real estate professionals, had been down 65% in the previous season, the seller faced a choice: either continue to list via conventional MLS channels after a year on the market with no results. Or, engage Grand Estate Auctions and defy the current economic situation to sell at the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time..

The Solution

Given the global appeal of the Aspen lifestyle, we launched a multi-channel marketing and PR campaign that reached both North American buyers as well as international clients eager to leverage currency and market advantages. The result? Over 200 inquiries on the property within 30 days that resulted in 100 pre-qualified previews and 27 ambitious bidders on the day of auction. This beautiful ranch retreat sold at 91% of its traditional listing price on the day of auction, and the final offer broke a two year record as the highest sale in the area.
