Known for its desirable lifestyle, enviable mild weather, and nearby access to world-class golf, five-star dining and luxury shopping, Paradise Valley offers the best attractions with something for everyone. With easy access to the hiking trails in Echo Canyon and Camelback Mountain, and a myriad of cultural activities in Old Town Scottsdale, the lifestyle in Paradise Valley is filled with comfort, ease and joy.
“My children have all since grown and gone off to college, and it’s time for us to move on and part from our family home as well,” says Johnson. “Just as you would sell art and cars through auctions, real estate auction firms provide an alternative platform to sell ultra-luxe properties efficiently within a given timeframe. I chose to partner with Concierge Auctions because of their proven track record for being a leader in this space and look forward to the results.”

It truly offers something for everyone — from the commercial-grade fitness center and studio-quality home theater to the gourmet chef’s kitchen and top-of-the-line appliances. To build something similar would take at least three to four years and require an almost unlimited budget.”
