Auctioneers are professionals who facilitate the sale of goods and property through a bidding process. They typically work at auctions, where items are sold to the highest bidder. Auctioneers use a unique style of speaking, often called "chanting," to engage bidders and encourage competitive offers. Their role includes setting the auction terms, describing items, and ensuring a fair process. In addition to traditional auctions, auctioneers may also operate online platforms, expanding their reach to a broader audience. They often specialize in specific types of items, such as art, antiques, or real estate, and may work for auction houses or independently.
