Four of Queensland’s leading auctioneers will battle for the title of REIQ Auctioneer of the Year next week as finalists in what has been an exceptional field of competitors.
The finalists are the reigning REIQ Auctioneer of the Year and Australasian Auctioneering Champion, Justin Nickerson; the former REIQ Auctioneer of the Year, Mark MacCabe; the former REINSW Auctioneer of the Year, Gavin Croft; and a former REIQ Auctioneer of the Year finalist, David Holmes.
The winner and runner-up of the REIQ Auctioneer of the Year 2019 will gain entry to the Australasian Auctioneering Championships, to be hosted by the REIQ in Queensland next year.
REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said that this year’s event was shaping up to be the best yet.
“The quality of the field this year is absolutely exceptional,” the CEO said.
“All of our finalists have competed at this level before, and with no rookies or debutantes in sight, one thing is certain — we’ll see truly spectacular skills on show and it promises to be an exciting event.”
Competition coordinator Peter Burgin said that the four finalists were among the best in the country.
He said that they were unlikely to be rattled when the action kicks off.
“This competition will test their nerves, but they’re all battle-hardened. They won’t be easily tripped up, and I’m looking forward to seeing this show.
“These guys are very, very experienced. They travel all over Australia and New Zealand conducting auctions every day and their skills are honed to a point.”
The REIQ auctioneering championships will be a cocktail-style event at the Victoria Park Golf Complex on Thursday, 23 August.
