A mammoth task when the process was unknown to the population, and English was a second language. Calling on all the experience he was involved in setting conditions of sale, liaising with the sales team and setting their marketing strategy, over viewing an international marketing campaign and both the coordinating and the conducting of the sale.
The result of the sale exceeded all of the owner’s expectations. Incredibly over 100 million dollars worth of property ($A) was sold in just 90 minutes of feverish activity. This is believed to be the largest auction of residential property in the world.
