It’s a good idea to find an auctioneer early. This is especially important if your event is during a busy fundraising season. Many local auctioneers fill their calendars months in advance, so booking someone early helps you get the right expert for your event.
When looking for an auctioneer for your event, choose someone with experience in your auction type. This could be a fundraiser, estate sale, or corporate auction. Strong public speaking skills and the ability to engage a crowd are essential for keeping bidders excited and involved.
Depending on your location, an auctioneer may need specific licensing or certifications, so check your state’s requirements. Reading reviews and asking for references can also help you gauge their professionalism.
Finally, discuss their fee structure and availability to ensure they fit your budget and event timeline.
