About Adren
With over 20 years of experience in auctions, Adren has recently retired and pursued his passion to become a licensed auctioneer. What started as experience with youth livestock show auctions, due to his career as an agriculture science teacher, soon became a weekend hobby.
As he describes it, “I’ve been a part of auctions in fishing shirts and boat shoes one weekend to tuxedos and black cowboy hats the following weekend. Auctioneering has allowed me to support a variety of events in a fun and unique way.”
So you need an auctioneer, now what?
Finding a licensed auctioneer doesn’t have to be hard. Here are some frequently asked questions when searching for the right auctioneer for your event.
Why should I hire a professional auctioneer?
Licensed auctioneers allow for an event to flow smoothly and effectively. Being able to garner excitement, advance pricing at the appropriate pace and keep the crowd engaged will bring the most monetary value to your event.
How do I know if an auctioneer is the right fit for my event?
There are a few questions to ask yourself when you are searching for an auctioneer. Are they licensed? Do they come recommended? Are they responsive and easy to communicate with?
How much is too much to spend on an auctioneer?
There are many different price structures for paying an auctioneer. This may take into account time, equipment, and additional spotters. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and know that a good auctioneer and team is going to make your money back.
Do we really need spotters?
For many of the same reasons you would hire a professional auctioneer, you should hire professional spotters. Many are auctioneers themselves or aspiring to be. That sort of knowledge and experience is beneficial in the flow of the event.
