Always entertaining, an auction with Gregory is an event not to be missed. After extensive preparation, with laughter, on-stage antics, audience participation, and just plain ingenuity, Gregory's "gift of gab" and auctioneering skills have raised countless dollars for worthy organizations. 

Satisfied clients describe Gregory's work best. Here is a note received after raising over $320,000 auctioning fine art items. 

"Dear Greg, 
I must confess that after 25 years of working on auctions, I was quite concerned when our auctioneer of the past 10 years was unable to perform this April. I have worked with perhaps a dozen auctioneers and have attended many more auctions to evaluate styles and techniques. I have witnessed, often first-hand the good the bad and the ugly! 

I now have a new class and that is the GREAT. On all levels you amazed me. Your preparation was far beyond anything I have witnessed. Your engagement with the audience was so great that many people told me they would come to any auction you conducted just for the entertainment aspect! I believe your knowledge, showmanship and unique approach to keeping people engaged reflected positively in our sales results. 

I do know you are our go to guy going forward. 
Brilliant job and I thank you for the laughs and success." 

What do I believe? Selecting an appropriate auctioneer for your live auction is critical. A charity benefit auctioneer should complement your event. An auctioneer's value to your event is derived from much more than the auctioneer's service fee. Event committees need to be shrewd consumers and look to many factors like: price, value, energy, thoughtfulness, creativity, commitment, drive, becoming part of your event, gaining full value. 

What do I promise? My experience provides an effective auctioneer who observes trends and offers constructive advice to allow your event achieve its important goals. A successful event builds community, entertains, inspires, and is profitable for your organization. 

Who am I? I am a talented auctioneer with an extensive background in public speaking and non-profit organizations. I am able to extend hands on knowledge of event organizing, public speaking, and media relations. 

Highlights of expertise 
* Extraordinarily well prepared to promote your charity, item, and evening 
* Entertaining, humorous, engaging 
* Professional auctioneer since 1995 
* Public speaking talent with over 30 years experience before audiences exceeding 2500 attendees 
Education and Experience 
* University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Speech Communications, High Honors 
* Wayne State University Law School 
* Licensed Attorney at Law since 1981 
* 23 years professionally conducted auctions 

My services are best described by event organizers. Here are just a few to consider:

---I know I approached you to thank you soooooo much for the energetic, creative, seductive manner in which you conducted the auction....I can not tell you how entertained our guests were and how pleased we are that we decided to go with your services;  you always have a flair, and you out-did yourself once again.

--In the past THAW has used celebrities as emcees and auctioneers as well as professional auctioneers and, hands down, Greg is the best I have ever seen. Not only did he set a record breaking performance but he was creative, funny, interesting and warm all at the same time!


--He also performed his magic at a Forgotten Harvest event we attended where he worked the crowd like a pro and wrangled $1000 dollar donations out of folks as easily as selling Girl Scout cookies. I mean, this guy has got IT!!!

--THANK YOU so much for once again conducting a great Live Auction. You really do a fantastic job. I love how much research and thought you put into each Lot. The props make it really fun. Hey, you even got me to spend some money!

--I want to thank you so much for the amazing job that you did last night. You were outstanding! I couldn't believe the energy and generosity coming from the crowd.

--I am guessing your phones were ringing after your tremendous job at Comedy Night last month? We are still pretty much reeling from the great success of the night. Thank you once again for providing your talented services.

--You were fantastic! Thank you for doing your part to help make Comedy Night a successful event. I hope you and your wife enjoyed the evening. From the feedback I received from our board members and guests, they all insist you come back year after year!

--I wanted to thank you again for your work in making our 2008 Starlight Extravaganza a success. You were terrific and we have received many compliments from those who attended the auction. We truly felt that you pulled every dollar available on each of the items!

--You have brought a whole different spirit to the Live Auction part of the evening. Your professionalism, warmth and cheerful spirit draw people who have never bid to try to acquire a live auction item.

--The auction was a great hit. During dinner, I sat near folks and they were in stitches! You are so entertaining. Thank you for making our evening special.

--Thank you so very much for doing such a terrific job on Friday night! We raised over $18,000 in the raffle and that is mainly due to your determination and desire. You are a great supporter of ours and always do such a class act for us on the microphone.
