Why are auctioneers necessary and licensed?
A. First, in most instances you cannot hold and auction in Ohio without first obtaining a licensed auctioneer. Second, your auctioneer knows how to prepare publicity suitable to the type of auction you are holding and understands the legal stipulations regarding it. Your auctioneer is a business person who knows how to meet the public and also has the ability to get the higher dollar for your property. He knows what action to take in dispute of bids and is fair and equitable to all.
