Jim Nye, The Benefit Auction Guy Auctioneer from Los Angeles, CA

Jim is a professional Benefit/Charity/Fundraising Auctioneer. He is recognized as one of the most effective and entertaining Charity Auctioneers in the country, and is an expert in Benefit Galas and Auctions. He focuses on first class Auction Fundraising for 501(c)(3) Charitable Organizations. Jim has helped raise millions of dollars for charity through auction events, charity golf tournaments, benefit fashion shows, and his unique abilities as an Emcee. He works one-on-one with a tight-knit client base that allows him to concentrate on each charity, school and organization that he helps and he proudly maintains a 95% client retention rate. While based in Southern California, he is available anywhere in the US or Canada. Jim has helped plan countless successful fundraising auctions, joined forces on numerous prestigious celebrity galas— including recently selling a dinner for 10 valued at $2,500 for a whopping $30,000…and just to top it off, he then sold it AGAIN for another $30,000! Jim is also an expert at the popular and critical Fund-a-Need concept, and has repeatedly pulled in bids of $100,000 or higher. He has also been awarded the Benefit Auctioneer Specialist (BAS) designation by the National Auctioneers Association (NAA) Education Institute; there are less than 300 auctioneers around the world who have acquired the BAS professional designation. But wait... there's more! When the National Auctioneers Association recently decided to rewrite their entire Benefit Auctioneer Specialist (BAS) designation course, Jim was one of three auctioneers on the planet invited to help rewrite the course! Plus he's REAL funny, and his Mom says he's cute.
