Option 1: The No Cost Option
Nationwide, many non-profit organizations, schools and churches prefer to use the standard Buyer’s Premium at auction.

It is standard in the auction industry and your organization receives all the benefit of hiring a professional benefit auctioneer while paying nothing for the service.
Option 2: Flat Fee

In many cases a graduated bonus system is implemented to motivate the auctioneer to push the events proceeds above previous records.
Option 3: Percentage of the Proceeds
Many smaller organizations who are new to fundraising auctions my choose to take a portion of their profit to compensate a professional benefit auctioneer. This option is perfect for organizations who have not previously utilized auctions or a professional auctioneer before and are not sure what revenues their event will produce. Utilizing a set percentage of the auction to compensate the auctioneer gives the organization the benefit of a professional auctioneer with no risk as the auctioneer is only paid on results.
After a successful career travelling the world to host high profile art auctions for major art dealers and elite artists the CEO of Auction Legacy Jordan Sitter is taking his cultivated skill set and invaluable experience to work with smaller retail galleries and art dealers.
“A fine art auctioneer has a unique skill set and presentation skills that most regular auctioneers do not possess” said Sitter. “Instead of working with just one or two major dealers I wanted to take my experience to start my own company and work with many galleries and dealers”.
