A professional auctioneer generates more revenue and makes the evening more enjoyable for your guests.

Quite often, organizations believe they will save money by using a volunteer or a local celebrity. While using a volunteer rather than a paid auctioneer may seem like a good idea, your organization will lose revenue. Novices leave money on the table because they are not able to maximize bidding.

A fund-raising auction is unlike any other charitable fund-raiser and offers a number of unique challenges. As professional fund-raising auctioneers, we understand this environment better than any volunteer or celebrity. The goal is not only to sell items, but to get your audience excited about the mission of your organization. An effective auctioneer will inspire the audience to bid high and bid often. When planning your event, you will hire the best caterer, decorator, designer, etc. you can afford. Why try to save when it comes to the person motivating your guests to open their checkbooks?

Can we have too many items? The number of items is based on a percentage of the number of people that will be attending your event. Yes, it’s fairly rare but you can have too many items. We can work with you to determine the correct number of silent auction items and the best way to package and display your items so that they bring maximum value.
