Career - Auctioneer

Auctioneers will check the property or articles for auction and organise the display of merchandise for inspection before the auction. They will talk to vendors (sellers) to determine the lowest price at which the vendor is prepared to sell (the 'reserve price') and also read out the terms and conditions of sale at auctions and, if necessary, present relevant documents. They will comment on any special features of the item being sold, call a starting price and ask for the first bid. They will ask for bids and carefully adjust the amount by which bids are advanced until the item being sold goes 'under the hammer' to the highest bidder and also supervise the work of others as sales are finalised at the auction.
