Luxury Hull condos set for auction
One of the first major auctions was Folio Boston in 2006, the condominium development on Broad Street in the city’s Financial District that failed to attract buyers until 34 condos sold for $26 million in less than two hours.
“More developers are entertaining the idea of an auction,” said Anthony Longo, CEO of CondoDomain.com, a Boston-based buyer’s agent. “It seems to be gaining traction because an auction is just another marketing tool to get the units sold.” | |

Luxury buyers wary in Boston condo market
Boston’s Teflon luxury condo market is showing signs of wear. While sales of condominiums priced $600,000 or more in the downtown increased by 3.4 percent last year - fueled by a sellout of the Mandarin Oriental in the Back Bay - January sales plummeted by nearly 60 percent. Anthony Longo, a buyer’s broker at CondoDomain, said there are lots of buyers attending open houses. But he said they are unsure of the bottom-line price, so they’re making low offers that are rejected by sellers. | |

6% Commissions is dead
"Yes, the day of the standardization of 6 percent commission is dead. How long will it take for the industry to realize this? That is the new question.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not attacking the industry, commission dollar amounts or high-paid all-star agents (many who are worth every penny). I am simply talking about the percentage-based commission structure."

Amid slump, tony condos in city shine
Anthony Longo, chief executive of Condodomain.com, was shopping for a condo in the South End this spring, and lost out in three bidding wars before snaring a place. In each case, the rejected offers were either at or above asking price, said Longo, whose website lists high-end condos for sale in 33 metropolitan markets in the United States and Canada, including Boston.
In early April, Longo got a two-bedroom brownstone unit for $630,000 because he made the offer as soon as it came on the market and then gave the seller just a few hours to accept or reject it. | | Boston Globe - June 18, 2008
