Word on the street
Shaw and Partners hosted a charity evening to raise funds for local community not for profits in October last year. We were fortunate to not only have James Scott Auction a few key items on the night, he also generously offered his time to MC.
James’ ability to engage people on a personal level, as well as capturing the attention of a room with 120 local business men and women, was amazing. He also made each and every charity feel warm and welcome which helped them to relax and talk to a full room about what they do and why it is important for everyone to hear about them.
I highly recommend James for any auction or public speaking event. He is knowledgeable, funny and most importantly, he cares.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with James sell my house in Hawker. James went above and beyond to help coordinate the right team to stage the property for a fantastic marketing campaign capped off by a brilliant on-site auction. James was very personable and engaging with all bidders.
It took James only seconds to reach the reserve and truly exceed all recent market. We are ecstatic with the result. I would highly recommend James to anyone looking to Auction their property.
