Auctioneer - ANZSCO 611111

Auctioneer conducts sales of real estate, goods and livestock by taking offers from buyers and accepting the highest purchase price. Registration or licensing is required.

Auctioneers may perform the following tasks:

• check the property or articles for auction
• list items to be catalogued
• arrange placement of advertisements in newspapers, magazines and online
• organise the display of merchandise for inspection before the auction
• talk to vendors (sellers) to determine the lowest price at which the vendor is prepared to sell (the 'reserve price')
• read out the terms and conditions of sale at auctions and, if necessary, present relevant documents (such as zoning restrictions applying to real estate)
• answer questions to ensure the terms of sale are clear
• comment on any special features of the item being sold, call a starting price and ask for the first bid
• 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
• supervise the work of others as sales are finalised at the auction.
