BIO: www.DanielParkman.wordpress.com/about/
I have sold 1,389 properties in a single day with Coldwell Banker at auction
with Judy Rae & Stephen L. Miller, then owners of the CB franchise in Lake
Placid, Florida http://heathrowrealty.com/judy_miller_bio.htm. Our
teams have joint ventured exit strategies with some of the Country’s largest
Builders, Developers, Brokers, Receivers, Trustees, Executors, and
Financial Institutions. Our associates/staff have auctioned in excess of
U.S. $12 Billion in Ultra luxury realty & assets in the Western Hemisphere
from the Caribbean to Hawaii and from Mexico to Canada. This includes in
excess of a million acres of land, the 25,000 acre LaJitas Resort
http://www.lajitas.com/history.html (see the second to last sentence), golf,
ocean front, ranches, 45,000 sq.ft. warehouse, office buildings, commercial,
7,000 luxury condos an4/10/2009Friday, April 10, 2009d the largest manse in Charleston, SC, The Calhoun
Mansion (sold 2 weeks prior to our auction) www.calhounmansion.net ,
with over 24,000 square feet owned by Gedney Howe, III who is admitted to
practice law before the Supreme Court of the United States
www.gedneyhowelaw.com . I have been entrenched in International real
estate for over 30 years and have worn several top hats. Therefore, I have
significant resources at my disposal in the world of realty and finance
depending upon your needs & requirements. Put another way: “World
Class Assets – World Class Solutions”.
Our associates/staff were the first in the World to conduct a Luxury Real
Estate Auction over the Internet in 1995 for a $2M Oceanfront Manse in
Rehoboth Beach, DE www.rehoboth.com . I have co-pioneered the
simultaneous auctioning of Multiple Projects/Portfolios/Assets owned by
Multiple Individuals/Entities/Developers/Institutions. This has been
achieved by leveraging the economies of scale and offering simultaneously
from 2-3-4-5-6 or 7 + Projects/Portfolios under a single/same day auction
event’s umbrella. Thus, casting a substantially wider net by attracting
across the Western Hemisphere and Globally interested parties to our
Extravaganza Events. This in turn maximizes the interest level from afar
and commands the peak response thus enhancing the revenue streams for
the subject portfolios assets @ auction. In addition, I co-pioneered the pre-
auction sales program wherein, we have sold out 12% – 55% – 85% – 100%
of the entire Portfolios/Projects/Assets inventories prior to auction day with
20% down non-refundable deposits, with NO contingencies, close a week
prior to auction and if the buyer(s) do not close then we simply retain their
deposit as liquidated damages and auction the asset(s) anyway (and I have
never had a 20% non-refundable deposit walked away from a pre-auction
contract).

In addition, I have completed Ultra Luxury Consultations for the
Forbes 400, Fortune 500, Conglomerates, Empires, Captain’s of
Industries, Private/Public/Governments Sectors, Mutual Funds, Hedge
Funds, Receivers, Trustees, Executors, Work Out & Turn Around
Specialists. Two examples of thousands:
- Karl Kehrmann, V.P. of V.W. of Europe, had owned the Atlantic
Ocean frontage including 900 linear feet. The Atlantic Ocean is your
front yard ant the Intracoastal waterway in your back yard.
Manalapan is one of the most exclusive zip codes in all of America.
The subject land tract was adjacent to the La Coquille project that
has become the Palm Beach Ritz Carlton (following mention in
this letter of introduction). However, Karl ultimately sold this asset to
Frank McKinney, the Maverick of Ultra Luxury in Palm Beach
www.frank-mckinney.com . Frank has completed the Acqua Liana
$29 Million Spec Manse a slice of this land. For the balance of land
McKinney has multiple plans for a $135 Million dollar manse to enjoy
520 linear feet of Atlantic Oceanfront including 5.5 acres. I had
consulted with McKinney’s associate, Clark French, regarding our
various Ultra Luxury Platforms for Frank’s Boca specs.
- Aubrey Horsford, Chief of Staff with Mel & Bre Simon
www.simon.com , had been responsible for the major renovations to
The Commodore Vanderbilt’s Estate @ 1100 S. Ocean Blvd,
Manalapan. Mel had acquired the manse for U.S. $3M and remodeled
the manse for $5M. Mel later sold the manse to William Randolph
Hearst, III for $35M. Aubrey was a gentleman from Grenada and was
seeking help for his personal purchase of a home in WPB,FL. He
soon found himself in a lawsuit for “block busting/discrimination”.
So his attorney retained my services @ DeBartolo Financial to fund
Aubrey’s mortgage which we gladly did. In the following “Palm
Beach Roots” you shall find further mention of my family
associations with the Ritz/Simon Family.
I had maintained Florida offices over the years @ Worth Avenue – 323 Via
de Mario, Palm Beach 33480; 1001 Alternate U.S. Highway, Suit 710 @ the
Jupiter Inlet and 639 East Ocean Ave. Suite 103 at the Boynton Beach

new technologies.
Government Institutions that our associates/staff have joint ventured with
and significantly impacted include: the RTC (Chaired by Bill Seidman
where he created the RTC team of 8,000 associates – closed over 1,000
banks and auctioned U.S. $400 Billion (1995 dollars) in failed Savings and
Loans assets. Bill also Chaired FDIC- he is currently CNBC TV’s Chief

In The Hamptons, business associates of mine includes:

Hampton www.hamptonsmortgage.com

Sag Harbor – www.EnzoMorabito.com
- Dolly Lenz, America’s #1 Luxury Realtor with U.S. $7 Billion in
Personal Sales Volume Credited to her annually, the
Hamptons & Manhattan www.DollyLenz.com
We also arranged mezzanine funding for a $4M Mixed use commercial real
estate enterprise in the Hamptons. I am summering in the Hamptons and
wintering in Palm Beach. I wanted to reach out to you and your associates
as a result of my consulting with several owners in the Hamptons
properties from $4M – $20M+ regarding our 60 day cycle for maximizing
revenue streams & exit strategy platforms. A few of these platforms allows
one to move and act with out being seen or heard. Extremely discreet
platforms are available in the event this is a consideration thru our sealed
bid approach.
Our experience is that the vulture/investor/bulk/wholesale buyers represent
the floor or minimum price per unit. They usually open the bidding and are
ultimately outbid by end users. A portfolio/asset/pie/project will sell for less
bulk at wholesale than in pieces/slices retail direct to the public at auction.
Prices generally range from 70% – 120% +/- depending upon the
market/economy. We just sold special assets properties for Regions Bank
www.regions.com in Henry Ford’s Plantation (Founder of The Ford Motor
Company) http://www.fordplantation.com/Content/611.htm , in Savannah,
GA & Pensacola Beach, Florida @ auction for 84% of Region Bank’s own
Appraisals.
Palm Beach Roots
My family, the Parkmans, Thompson & Just, have held key leadership
rolls with the Weitz Company since 1972 in Des Moines, IA & West Palm
Beach, FL. More recently, Larry Thompson, as Weitz’s lead Super set what I
understand is a 154 year record for the largest singular contract for the
$350M Scripps Research Institute Project, Palm Beach Gardens, FL
http://www.scripps.edu/intro/glance/ . In 1974 I first sat foot on Florida real
estate on vacation. Then in 1981 I returned to cut my teeth with the Weitz
Co. in 1981 under the tootaledge of Ben Sorenson, Ivan Van Roekel, John
Rodeman, Bob Demers, Jack Duran & Gary Swanson as the Chief Land
Surveyor @ the $80M Abbey Delray South project, Delray Beach, FL (of the

and used to throw a junior Senator from Massachusetts in his Cadillac and
take him to the Kennedy Compound – JFK; Then the Massachusetts
Governor was Gov. Endicott (Chub) Peabody who’s Mother was Mary
Parkman Peabody). Norman had approached me, while I was the AVP of
Anthony DeBartolo’s – DeBartolo Financial Services
www.debartoloholdings.com , to fund the ADC mini perm funding for the La
Coquille tear down. Norm was thin on resume and financial statement and
ultimately flipped it to Mel Simon www.simon.com . Mel Joint Ventured with
Shimizu and the Ritz went under construction. Mel hired The Weitz
Company (America’s Top 25 GC) to build the Ritz Carlton. My Father,
Richard D. Parkman, was the Quality Control Superintendent for the $100M
project as well as the Plaza del Mar luxury retail/commercial project directly
across A-1-A from the Ritz. I was an Asst. Super @ the Plaza del Mar

The Calhoun Mansion, Charleston, SC’s largest Manse
The Calhoun Mansion http://www.calhounmansion.net/ sold 2 weeks prior
to auction. This manse is listed as a National Historic Landmark on the
National Historic Registry. Gedney Howe, III, a prominent lawyer
www.gedneyhowelaw.com and Helen Geer, a Christie’s Great Estates
www.christiesgreatestates.com affiliate commissioned our team to auction
the “Biltmore of Charleston” the largest private residence in Charleston,
South Carolina USA. Ironically, the buyer wished to keep remain
anonymous, however, he was also a prominent lawyer from Washington,
D.C. and our associates/staff had previously auctioned HIS National
Historic Landmark the “ Berry Hill Plantation” in VA. Thus, he was in our
proprietary database and was of course notified of our auction event. So,
one of our past sellers becomes one of our present buyers ! Surprisingly
enough, this actually happens frequently. Further, as one can see
DISCETION is easily administered / observed.
The 24,000 square foot Calhoun Mansion, built in 1886, was owned by the
Vice President of the United States John C. Calhoun’s grandson Patrick
Calhoun. It has 35 rooms, grand ballroom, Japanese water gardens, 16
fireplaces, 20 seat dining room table, 75 foot high domed ceiling, khoi
pond, fountains, private elevator, 3 levels of piazzas, 11 chandeliers, 45
foot glass skylight, 14 foot high ceilings and 5 stories including the
basement and the 90 foot cupola overlooking the Charleston Harbor. It has
been featured in the movie “Notebook” staring James Garner, Forbes,
A&E’s American Castles, HGTV Fantasy Open House, ABC’s The View,
CNN, Associated Press, Bloomberg News, Architectural Digest, Wall Street
Journal and Robb Reports 21 Gifts for the 21st Century. Also the TV mini-
series North & South starring Elizabeth Taylor, Kirsti Alley, Patrick Swayze,
Hal Holbrook, Lloyd Bridges, Gene Kelly, Robert Mitchum and Johnny
Cash.
John C. Calhoun was Vice President under both Presidents John Quincy
Adams & Andrew Jackson. Patrick Calhoun lived in New York, Atlanta,
Cleveland, Charleston, and San Francisco. He owned 50,000 acres in
Calhoun Falls, SC, utilities in Pittsburg & Philadelphia, oil fields in Texas,
started the Trolley System in San Francisco, Rail Road systems across
America, coal mines in Kentucky. He was associated with John D.
Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan. Christie’s Great Estates
www.christiesgreatestates.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of Christie’s,
the world’s largest auction house www.christies.com .
My charitable causes/passions include: Gary Player’s South African Youth
Programs www.garyplayer.com , The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints www.lds.org (member since 1986) & James Makawa’s The Africa
Channel (TAC) www.theafricachannel.com/aboutus.php . James was a NBC
TV Correspondent. NBA Houston Rocket’s Dikembe Mutumbo is a partner
& investor of TAC having wrote the first check for U.S. $10M. Mutumbo,
Bono & Angelina Jolie continue to rally together for African causes. Weller
Grossman, TAC’s Executive Producer, also produced National
Geographics. TAC, which covers the 53 Countries with the African
Continent, launched in August 2005 with TAC Investor/Partner, former U.N.
Ambassador & Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young as Chairman of the Board of
TAC. Jacob Arback, former VP of Direct TV, is a partner @ TAC. I attended
the launch of TAC in Washington, D.C. with James who I have been friends
with for over 30 years. Of course, the Houston Rockets are owned by
Forbes 400 Southamptonite & Bocaite Leslie Alexander, an auction client of
mine.
