On this week’s episode of the Power House Podcast, HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins talks with Chad Roffers, founder of Concierge Auctions. Chad discusses the early stages of his career in real estate sales and brokerage leadership, his launch of SKY Sotheby's, and the difficulties of building a technology business during the 2009 Financial Crisis.

Chad’s entrepreneurial journey includes multiple launches and exits, and he shares the wins and losses that developed him as an entrepreneur and executive.
