Auction Legacy News & Press Releases

Auction Legacy is the premier source for providing fundraising auctioneers in Florida.  When looking for a fundraising auctioneer the skill set and qualities needed are much different than that needed of a traditional auctioneer.  Fundraising auctioneers most important attributes are as follows:

  1. Charisma- Your fundraising auctioneer needs to be able to captivate and motivate the audience.
  2. Salesmanship- Fundraising auctioneers main responsability is to get the highest bid possible for each item to benefit your organization.
  3. Experience and versatility- Every organization, and every auction is different.  Your fundraising auctioneer needs to be able to adapt to your venue, your clients, and your auction items.  An experienced fundraising auctioneer will be comfortable in a room with 500 people, or 30 people, will have done auctions that raise $15,000, and auctions that have raised $1,000,000 plus. 

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

Experienced fundraising auctioneers know when to be funny, when to be serious, when to be loud, and when to be silent.  The goal of any presentation at a benefit auction is to generate bids, not to generate laughs or tears.  Your fundraising auctioneer needs to know when to tell a joke, and when to look for bids. 

After looking for a fundraising auctioneer and considering the above information there are only a handful in the country that really are true professionals and each is located in a different location.  We would be happy to recommend one in your area if it is not feasible for us to host your fundraising auction.  If you are looking for a fundraising auctioneer in Florida you should contact Auction Legacy or visit www.auctionlegacy.com.
