"In working with Concierge Auctions to sell Nestucca Sea Ranch, I've found a trusted partner that immediately understood the property's unique attributes and how to communicate them to an audience far and wide," stated the seller, John McDonnell. "I am so incredibly pleased with the end result of this auction and have them to thank for their hard work and grade-A service."

Listing agent Dennis M. Regen stated: "A property as remarkable as Nestucca Sea Ranch is going to attract attention, sure. But when you partner with Concierge Auctions on an auction like this, you know that the property will be seen by every serious buyer in the market. And with Nestucca Sea Ranch, that's exactly what happened – the amount of interest we received was unprecedented, and the result of the auction speaks for itself."

"The sellers of Nestucca Sea Ranch came to us because they had a 'best-kept-secret' property on their hands," said Laura Brady, Founder and President of Concierge Auctions. "The Oregon Coast is one of the most naturally stunning areas on earth, which makes it the perfect place to own a property, but a somewhat challenging place to sell one. At Concierge Auctions, we saw this as an opportunity not just to expand the local, state, or even national market of potential buyers, but to do what we do best — lead a truly international campaign. And that's just what we did, literally bringing a dream home to the doorsteps of sophisticated buyers in the forms of print and digital advertisements, as well as earned media from London to Sydney."
