DeCaro Auctions has expanded its executive team as the luxury real estate auction firm seeks to grow its international platform.

The appointments come after Mario Vargas was recently named CEO.

“Luxury auctions are about more than marketing reach. They are about relationships, strategy and execution,” said Vargas. “Each member of this team brings deep experience in their respective disciplines, allowing us to elevate the way extraordinary properties are positioned, sold and experienced globally.”

Matthew Rollins joins as chief marketing officer and Scott Haws as chief operating officer.

Rollins — co-founder of Narr8 Media, an award-winning creative agency behind more than $8 billion in cinematic real estate campaigns — brings decades of experience blending storytelling, marketing strategy and luxury real estate.

“By integrating cinematic storytelling directly into the auction process, we create an immersive experience that resonates with qualified buyers everywhere,” said Rollins. “It’s a game changer for sellers who want their properties presented at the highest level, from start to finish.”

Zachary Wright joins as head of global alliances and partnerships — bringing more than three decades of leadership experience with Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions, Christie’s International Real Estate, Synthesis Realty Group and Sotheby’s International Realty.

His expertise spans Asia Pacific, North America and Western regional markets, leaders said.

“I’m thrilled to join DeCaro at this pivotal moment,” Wright said. “With a world class team in place, we can expand global partnerships, bring more luxury properties to market and deliver seamless, high touch experiences for clients across continents.”

Other appointments include Chloe Lapierre as property experience director, Alex Alavekios as senior private client advisor and Mitch Abundis as private client advisor and Mexico director.
