The finalists' names have been revealed for the 2017 Australasian Auctioneering Championships, which will be held on 6-7 September 2017, hosted by the Real Estate Institute of South Australia.
The annual competition showcases Australia and New Zealand’s best auctioneers, in a frenzy of calling, bidding and selling.
“The Australasian Auctioneering Championships is an annual event conducted jointly by the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) and the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ),” said Malcolm Gunning, President of the Real Estate Institute of Australia.
“The Auctioneering Championships were first held in 1991 between the Real Estate Institutes of Tasmania and Victoria to provide an opportunity to showcase their best auctioneers.
“The concept was subsequently adopted by all the State/Territory REIs and REINZ and has become the most prestigious event on the Australasian auctioneering calendar,” Gunning said.
The heats and finals are open to the public, which gives everyone a chance to be involved. The heats commence on Wednesday 6 September at 8.30am.
The top five finalists will battle it out for the top price on Thursday 7 September, from 1.45pm. The winner will be announced at a gala dinner to be held at the South Australia Museum on Thursday evening.
The second annual Australasian Auctioneering Schools Championships will also be contested by finalists from South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania on Thursday morning.
