Watch Video Tour The six finalists were selected by judges from 19 nominees who competed in this years heats. REIV Senior Auctioneer of the Year finalists are Daniel Bullen from Philip Webb; last years winner, Adrian Butera of Compton Green; Michael Choi from McDonald Real Estate; Harry Li of McDonald Real Estate; Mark Staples from Hocking Stuart in Carnegie; and Matthew Young from Buxton in St. Kilda. Each participant had to conduct a mock auction dealing with difficult inquiries and competitive bidding from the audience. A house in the mythical suburb of Carringbush was auctioned. The mock auction format ensures that the skills and knowledge of each contestant is tested. The finalists will compete for the of 2011 REIV Senior Auctioneer of the Year on Wednesday, 13 July at The Arts Centre. The finals will be open to the public to attend. The winner and runner-up will then represent Victoria in the 20th anniversary NAB Australasian Auctioneer of the Year competition to be held in Melbourne on 19--21 September. Victoria is regarded as the auction capital of the nation but our auctioneers have been beaten by contestants from New Zealand and Queensland in recent years. With the competition in Melbourne, the Institute has high hopes of success this year.
