Tomorrow, the finalists will battle head-to-head to see who is the ultimate Australasian Champion.
REINZ Chief Executive Jen Baird said, “The Heats today were electrifying. The fourteen contestants really showed their auctioneering excellence to the judges and gave it their all. The judges had a tough time choosing the finalists, but in the end the decision has to be made and their choices have been locked in. Congratulations to our finalists and all the best for the finals tomorrow.”
Baird went on to say, “Property auctioneers are an important pillar in the real estate process. The AUSTROS is our way of honouring their hard work and celebrating their significant contribution to the industry.”
The AUSTROS is an annual event celebrating the most skilled and professional auctioneers in Australia and New Zealand. Conducted jointly by the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) and the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ), the Championships have become the most prestigious event on the Australasian Auctioneering calendar.
REINZ and the Real Estate Institutes for each Australian state and territory, arrange and hold their own competition to find their best two auctioneers. These auctioneers then go in to compete in the AUSTROS. Hosting of the competition is rotated around the different Australian states and territories, with New Zealand hosting the event once every four years.
This year, REINZ is thrilled to be hosting the AUSTROS at Q Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand.
