Luke Banitsiotis of Woodwards Blackburn and Michael Wood of Marshall White were announced as finalists in the REIV 2018 Senior Auctioneer of the Year finals yesterday afternoon.
They will both go on to represent the state of Victoria at the Australasian Auctioneering Championship in Auckland in mid-October.
The two men were judged as the top performers in the 2018 Senior Auctioneer of the Year competition held at the REIV headquarters over the last two days.
Luke Banitsiotis believes the process should be kept as simple as possible and, with the vendor, develop a clear path to a successful sale.
"A flexible approach assists in ensuring a premium result," he said.
Michael Wood has been a finalist in the REIV Senior Auctioneer of the Year in 2013, 2014 and 2016. He takes pride in keeping his clients completely informed throughout the entire sales campaign and instilling them the confidence they are in capable hands.
Fourteen auctioneers from around Melbourne contested the heats earlier in the week, with six competing in the final round yesterday.
The ultimate winner of the Victorian 2018 Senior Auctioneer of the Year will be announced at the REIV Gala Awards night in late October.
