Auctioneers Attend Colorado Convention in Denver

Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. Auctioneers and managers recently attended the Colorado Auctioneers Association Convention held in Denver, Colorado. While there, they attended seminars on auction methods and continuing auction education. National experts in their areas of expertise presented these seminars. Real Estate auctions are a hot topic. There were several opportunities to learn about new, cost efficient ways to market and sell real estate at auction. David Whitley, RMEB CEO and lead Auctioneer said, “As the economy and real estate market has weakened, we have been inundated with requests from people to conduct real estate auctions. We are always looking for more ways to effectively market and sell real estate in a short period.

A nationally acclaimed author and speaker presented two seminars on time management and organization. Auctioneer Casey Giddings stated, “Our clients keep us incredibly busy. Time management is one of our most important tools in the auction business.” Casey also participated in the Colorado Champion Auctioneer Contest. She made everyone at RMEB very proud of her auctioneering skills.

Everyone at RMEB believes in constantly learning so that we can provide superior service to our clients. The Colorado Auctioneers Association 2009 Convention was not only educational for us it was fun. We live, breathe and sleep (when we get to sleep!) the auction business. We look forward to meeting you and discussing how we can solve your problems.

RMEB Auctioneers and staff attend National Auctioneers Association Conference and Show in Nashville Tennessee.

Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. Auctioneers and staff recently attended the National Auctioneers Association Conference and Show in Nashville Tennessee. While there, they attended educational offerings on live online auctions, promoting and marketing real estate auctions, ring man skills, employing innovative marketing techniques and more. Auction industry leaders taught these classes. RMEB Auctioneer Casey Giddings CAI, from Fort Collins, Colorado stated, “This is the one place professional auctioneers can come to not only learn about new auction techniques but to share what works for us as well”.

David P. Whitley CAI CES, RMEB’s lead Auctioneer, was one of five auctioneers chosen to sit on a panel discussing ways to start and build a successful auction business. He said, “Our auction company has been attending state and national auction association events for years. We have learned from some of the best in the business. When we have the opportunity to share what works for us with newer members of this profession we consider it an honor and a privilege.” Over 1400 NAA members and their families attended the convention.

Both Giddings and Whitley competed in the International Auctioneer Contest. Contest chairman Paul Behr CAI stated, “This group of contestants makes up some of the best auctioneers in the world”. While neither came home with the Champion’s trophy, both did very well in the competition. Giddings said, “Auctioneering in this contest is a very good way for me to continually work on being a better auctioneer. It would be nice to win but it is nicer to know I am always becoming better at what I do.”

RMEB staff attends 2008 Colorado Auctioneer's Association Convention.

Three members of the Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. team recently attended the Colorado Auctioneers Association annual convention held in Denver, Colorado January 4-6 2008. David P. Whitley CAI CES, Casey Giddings CAI and Jaime Foote all enjoyed the education and camaraderie at the 50th anniversary meeting. They attend classes on bid calling, auction technology, marketing and more.

Casey Giddings competed in the 2008 CAA bid calling championship. She did an excellent job and everyone at RMEB was very proud of her. After the contest Giddings stated, "A contest like this is very intimidating for any auctioneer. Most people are nervous getting up in front of a small group of people to speak. Auctioneers do that every day. We learn to deal with our nerves a bit. Getting up in front of a room full of auctioneers adds an entirely new dimension to that nervousness. Even though I did not win the contest this year, I will be back. This makes me a better auctioneer."
