Experiences &

Impressions

“Pat has been an invaluable asset to our fundraising goals! His experience with commanding the attention of the room is obvious throughout his time on the mic. Our crowd can be loud and has a great time, but Pat is able to get them interested in the auction and what we all came to do: Raise Money! Pat has been flexible with our items and reading a crowd, accommodating opportunities to raise the bar in our fundraising goals as well. You will not be disappointed with Pat and his team for your auctioneering needs!”

“When we decided to take our annual fundraising event to the next level, the best decision we made was bringing Pat on as our emcee and auctioneer. His enthusiasm and professionalism set the tone for a fun and energized evening that our guests thoroughly enjoyed. The auction surpassed all our goals thanks to Pat’s timing and energy. He kept the entire room engaged and the pace was perfect. We can’t imagine doing another event without him. He’s a premier auctioneer and a pleasure to work with.”

“Pat Simmons has been a major part of our auction’s success. His huge heart and fun personality have contributed to raising more money every year that gets invested back into the community. It’s hard to imagine what our event would be like without him!”

“I have known Pat professionally for years. He is the kind of person you feel like old friends the minute you meet him. He was frequently part of the band that played at our events but offered to help auctioneer when he finished his auctioneer program. Pat was really involved in helping determine the best order for auction items, games that he has seen be successful and after events is incredibly open to feedback. My favorite part about Pat is his fun personality. He brings an element to auctions that you don’t always see – lighthearted fun while raising money for serious causes.”
