Prior to hiring any property auctioneer, it is work asking a few questions to help assess their style and skill set. Basics like commission rate and whether a consultation is included in the service are important. So too is their area of expertise, so be sure to find out about other events they have worked across and whether you can access any videos of the auctions. Moreover, get an understanding of the geographical area they typically operate in, and references. Finally, understand their auction strategy for your property, along with what they would do in the event of slow interest or competitive buyers.
