The entire process, from signing the listing agreement to closing, is completed within 60 days. The property will be open for bidding (on the market) for approximately one week. With set dates for the sale and closing, you can make well-informed decisions throughout your transaction.
Targeted marketing campaigns reach potential buyers across the nation and internationally, far beyond the local market. The competitive bidding process drives buyers to actively vie for your property.
You can set terms that best suit your needs. Properties are sold as-is, with no contingencies, ensuring a straightforward and stress-free closing period.
Properties in the luxury space notoriously suffer from longer market exposure, this can be explained by the fact that luxury homes represent a significant investment from buyers. This leads to an extension in the four stages of the buying process: curiosity, interest, desire, and commitment.
The problem?
Research shows that properties with longer market exposure realize median prices lower than their initial list price upon sale. Conversely, homes that sold in two weeks or less, resulted in median sales prices at least equal to their list price. This underscores the significant role of timely marketing & sales strategies in optimizing sales outcomes.
Hence, the birth of the vision and mission for Voyage:
To provide a streamlined and efficient sales process for luxury real estate, while maximizing value and exposure.

No, auctions are a strategic choice for luxury properties, offering a competitive, time-sensitive process to achieve market-driven results.
In early 2024, new legislation on Folly Beach, SC, prohibited short-term rental permits from transferring with property sales. This change created a saturated market, extending the time homes spent on the market and making it harder for sellers to achieve top dollar. Among these sellers was a seasoned real estate professional who recognized the unique challenges posed by this shift.
Instead of opting for a traditional sale, the seller turned to Voyage to create urgency in the marketplace. Our proven auction process was the perfect fit to stand out in a crowded market, attract competitive buyers, and drive the sale to a swift and successful conclusion.
The auction attracted bidders from 8 different states, ensuring a competitive environment for this oceanfront property. In just 60 days, the home sold and closed at $2,491,000, surpassing the $2.3 million sale price of a nearly identical neighboring home that had been listed traditionally.By leveraging Voyage’s streamlined process, the seller achieved a premium sale price in less time than the traditional real estate market could offer.
