A good auctioneer is identified not when there are 17 people registered to bid on a “screamer” but the true ability is displayed on a property where there may only be 1 or 2 people registered and no one wants to go first. A good auctioneer has the innate ability to sense the mood and rhythm of what pace should be used to allow “momentum bidding.

A good auctioneer will have the ability to truly connect with bidders and engage them during a time where these bidders have most likely put on their defence shield.”

“Conversely, a bad auctioneer can end up being your worse nightmare. They are boring and repetitive. It creates a restless environment where people begin to fidget. At their worse they can be insulting to buyers.

Is the choice of auctioneer important? Absolutely! If you choose a bad auctioneer you are undoing 4-5 weeks of marketing and hard work in one minute.
