Concierge Auctions and Manormor Sotheby's International Realty Secure Sale Contract on a Luxury Country Club/Golf Residence in Jacksonville, Florida Prior to Auction Date

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A private, luxury residence located on a premier parkway lot in the exclusive gated community of Glen Kernan Golf & Country Club, just minutes from the beach and downtown shopping, went under contract prior to the March 1st auction date, Concierge Auctions has announced. The sale was conducted in cooperation with Hazel Cooksey of Manormor Sotheby's International Realty.

"The number of qualified prospects produced by the Concierge process was impressive, evidenced by the fact that one liked the house so much, they couldn't risk losing it and signed a contract before the scheduled auction date," Cooksey stated. "It's no surprise, as Glen Kernan Golf & Country Club is an incredible place to call home, and the auction created a true sense of urgency, resulting in a sale in less than six weeks. We congratulate the new owners and hope to work with Concierge again in the future."

Concierge Auctions' global exposure campaign generated 67 qualified buyer prospects and 1,330 visits to the auction website from 46 U.S. states and 38 international countries.

Situated amid the 600 acres of Glen Kernan, shared with only about 200 neighbors, 4512 Glen Kernan Parkway, East offers club house activities galore including a sports complex and golf. The residence grants luxurious country club living at its finest, boasting 6,846 square feet including four spacious bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two powder bathrooms.

"This sale marks our fifth successful auction with Manormor Sotheby's International Realty, which proves that luxury sellers in Florida identify with our platform and are committed to the auction process," stated Laura Brady, Vice President of Marketing for Concierge Auctions. "Achieving a contract before the auction date demonstrates how well the auction process works.
