Stuarts Draft auctioneer wins Virginia Auctioneers Association calling championship
STUARTS DRAFT – Stuarts Draft auction professional Kervin Yoder won the title of 2024 Virginia Auctioneers Association Auctioneer Champion.
The contestants were judged on presentation, chant, voice timbre, body language, and other performance elements. The top five were then interviewed, with their answers figuring in to the final results.
“Competing for the auctioneer championship in front of other auctioneers – many who have won the championship before – and being judged by some of the best auctioneers in the country really has helped me to become a better auction professional,” said Yoder. “Our industry has largely moved to online auctions, but the art of the live bid caller is still alive and it is an exciting way to sell assets.”
Kervin Yoder not only won the competition — he was also elected Vice President of the VAA.
Kervin is the auctioneer and owner of Enlisted Auctions in Stuarts Draft.
