This year's REISA Auctioneering Championships are to be held between the 17-19 July at the Stamford Grand Glenelg in Adelaide. Finalists will go on to compete at the Australasian Auctioneering Championships to be held later in the year in New Zealand.

The annual competition showcases Australia and New Zealand's best auctioneers, in a frenzy of calling, bidding and selling.

An annual event conducted jointly by the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) and the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ), 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 since become the most prestigious event on the Australasian auctioneering calendar.

Bronte Manuel took out first place at the 2017 REISA Auctioneering Championships last year, and went on to become a finalist at the Australasian Auctioneering Championships, while Justin Nickerson took out the top prize at the 2017 Australasian Auctioneering Championships.

Nominations for the event close on 31 May.
