Auctioneer course
So you want to be a real estate auctioneer? Here’s everything you need to know about the best auctioneer course Sydney agents have access to.
Competing for a property through open bidding is one of the most effective ways to sell a residential or commercial property.
To be a successful real estate auctioneer, there are a few skills you need. One of them is speaking confidently in front of a large group of people. An entertainer mindset is also useful, as generating excitement and keeping potential buyers interested is essential. Reading body language is important too, as it ensures you understand the dynamic among bidders – as well as predicting their interest in the property.
However, the best real estate auctioneers rely on a wide range of skills, most of which are best learned through completing a nationally recognised auctioneer course. If you live in NSW, the government requirement is completion of the Auctioneer Accreditation course.
The auctioneer course is composed of three units of study taken from CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice. To be eligible to enrol in this course in NSW, you must hold a Real Estate Licence (Class 2), or have completed 15 units of the CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice course.
The three units cover the pre-auction process, conducting the sale by auction, and completing the post-auction process including properly executing the contract of sale.
During the course we focus on the practical components of running an auction including displaying a home for auction. The course also addresses the legal requirements of an auction from setting up on the day to closing the sale.
On completion of the course, you should have the knowledge and skills required to conduct an auction that both achieves a successful sale and meets legislative requirements. To help you achieve this, we run two mock auctions during the auctioneering course.
