County firm selected to represent major sports concierge company

Vernon - Crystal Concierge, LLC, of Vernon has been selected as New Jersey’s Xtreme Professional Athletic Concierge Services representative and is poised to manage all aspects of the concierge industry for the many professional athletes located in and around the metropolitan area and those visiting the area for various games or events. The number of required resources by professionals in athletic careers has grown dramatically over the past decade. Prior to Xtreme’s arrival on the scene in 2004, the availability of resources to assist professional athletes in their personal endeavors was limited. Scott Graham, CEO of Xtreme, developed the concept several years ago while playing basketball at Fresno State University under legendary coach, Jerry Tarkanian. He decided to create a concierge service for professional athletes and their families after observing his fellow teammates juggling various personal responsibilities while striving to maintain their performance focus on the court. “I think what differentiates us from other concierge services is the fact that we are not only in 54 cities nationwide, but we are worldwide,” said Katharine Giovanni, president of Xtreme. Services provided by Xtreme range from the ordinary to the extraordinary, and include assistance with purchasing a new car, jewelry or a home; assistance with making domestic decisions like childcare, housekeeping, child educational services, or event planning, such as a wedding. According to the National Concierge Association, concierge services are expected to grow from $650M to over $1.3B in the next five years. Crystal Concierge, LLC, is a life-style management company providing assistance to individuals and companies who are limited on time to handle their day-to-day tasks. Services include cleaning, errands and shopping, waiting at home for deliveries, recommending contractors to work in client’s homes, and office and event planning. Crystal Concierge is a member of the International Concierge and Errand Association, as well as the local chambers of commerce in Sussex, Vernon, and Warwick, N.Y.
