When considering what company to use, or what auctioneer to hire for your event you need to consider that there are severalcompletely different types of auctioneers.  All are efficient, skilled, and needed in their own niche of the auction market.  It is important to take a moment to decide which style or type of auctioneer is going to suit your needs best.

Option 1- The traditional auctioneer.

The traditional auctioneer is most proficient in fast talking, or “chanting” as it is called in the auction industry.  They can go through many auction items in a short period of time, and quickly try and get to the highest possible bid on each item.  Traditional auctioneers are most suited and needed at heavy equipment auctions, auto auctions, and general merchandise auctions.

Option 2- The professional benefit auctioneer, charity auctioneer, or fundraising auctioneer.

Specialized in charismatic presentations, entertaining introductions, and used to a sophisticated clientele and unique auction items professional benefit auctioneers, charity auctioneers, and fundraising auctioneers are utilized at auctions where the proceeds go to a non-profit group like a school, church, or charity.  Charity auctioneers are usually also professional speakers and master of ceremonies making them excellent hosts for gala type fundraising events.

Option 3- The volunteer or celebrity auctioneer.

Used sometimes at charity and benefit auctions are volunteer or celebrity auctioneers.  While they can be entertaining at times, it is not recommended to use volunteers if you would like to raise the most possible funds at your auction.  Celebrity auctioneers are good for established events that generally raise high funds consistently ($1,000,000++).   Investing in a professional benefit auctioneer, or charity auctioneers services is generally the best way to make your auction a success.

So depending on what kind of auction you are having, you should consider what type of of auctioneer you would like to host it for you.  Auction Legacy provides benefit auctioneers, fundraising auctioneers, fine art auctioneers, and charity auctioneers in Florida and all over the country.

Many benefit auctioneers, charity auctioneers, and fundraising auctioneers will claim that they are entertaining, or that entertainment is the most important quality in a charity auctioneer.  We believe that entertainment falls under both the Charisma, and the Salesmanship quality.

Experienced fundraising auctioneers know when to be entertaining, when to be serious, they know how to read the room to generate the most possible revenue.  The goal of any presentation at a charity auction is to generate bids, not to generate laughs or tears.  Your charity auctioneer needs to know when to tell a joke, and when to look for bids.
