Jim, your FANTASTIC team was a huge part of our very successful event on Saturday night. We are a seasoned event and have had great success over the years, so imagine our surprise when you helped us raise over $150,000 MORE than last year's event! AMAZING! I'd be thrilled to be a reference for you and your team (in fact, I gave a glowing referral to someone just last night who was at our event and called to inquire for their event in October)! Anytime you need an endorsement for marketing purposes, I'd be happy to provide that as well. Thank you again from this very happy Director of Development; please know that you are at the top of our list for future events!

Jim - Thank you for your expertise, care and talents. Your idea to sell a $100 bill (and the $5,000 it brought in) was flat out awesome. And you sold 4 Rodeo tickets worth $1,500 for $7,500…WHAT? I'm blown away by the energy that filled the room. That's thanks to you! Our live auction set a revenue record, which will directly support our scholarship fund. You were exceptionally well prepared for OUR specific event, and guests responded with generosity because of it. We were very pleased with you from the beginning, through all the indispensable planning calls, through the event end. We WILL see you at our next event!

THANK YOU! Jim, your team was amazing. The thorough pre-planning you were willing to do with us invaluable. On the night of the event, we had several people come up to us and tell us that the auctioneer was fun, sincere, and relatable. We were all blown away by her professionalism, competence, and energy. Finally, we raised a record-breaking amount in the Paddle Raise, completely surpassing our expectations. Our goal this year was to set a tone of giving, and we could not have done it so successfully without your amazing auctioneer, the "Ringman" assistant you sent (Brandon was WONDERFUL!), and your entire team. We're already forward to working with you next year!

Dear Jim, Thank you so much for all you did for our fundraising event last night. You were professional and accommodating from the time we signed you up until the time you left the event. I received so much positive feedback about all you did. You have restored my faith in professional fundraising auctioneers. I imagine that yours is not an easy job and that at this time of the year you are busy and probably tired. Yet, despite this, you displayed energy, joy, and warmth. You did an outstanding job of representing us and our culture. Thank you seems so inadequate, but I thank you nonetheless from the bottom of my heart. Many, many thanks.

Where have you and your amazing "Auctioneers For Good" team been all my life!?! Hiring you was one of the best decisions I've made as Foundation Director. We were really blown away last night – your team is SO good!!! Your energy, your humor, and enthusiasm, your ability to sell not only 1, but 2 pet portraits for more than DOUBLE the value – very impressive!!! Oh, and the golf package – it sold for $3,000 last year with our volunteer auctioneer. You got $4,500 for the same package – TWICE!!! Incredible! Your team was worth MUCH more than your fee for services. The consensus is this was our best event ever and you played a huge role in making that happen.

Jim was very professional and helped to make sure all my questions/concerns were addressed given we were doing a virtual event. Nick(auctioneer) was so great. He was very entertaining and made sure that people on our virtual auction were having a fantastic time. He was very professional and engaging. Our entire group had nothing but positive feedback for him. We hope to be able to do an in person event in the future with Jim and Nick. Highly recommend them for any auction events you have.

Jim was the quarterback and got the “Gig” rolling and Nick Niere delivered the auction. From Jim to Nick I could not have imagined a better experience. As important as the event was their help in preparing for the realities and operation of an auction was awesome.
