Auctioneer

Auctioneers conduct public sales, usually on the site of the property.  Auctioneers are required to explain the contract and the property’s features and answer any questions from potential purchasers before calling for bids.

Strict guidelines govern the conduct of auctions.  In most cases, a person must not conduct, or attempt to conduct, an auction for the sale of any real estate or business unless that person:

• is a licensed real estate agent; or
• is employed as an agent’s representative.

An auctioneer’s public performance reflects upon the image of the agency and the profession.  A good auctioneer can also increase the profile of the agency enormously.
