You have conducted the auction at the Caulfield Cup Calcutta in an exemplary fashion for many years. You extract a pool of approx. $40,000 with very entertaining remarks and accurate auctioneering. In the opinion of most people at the Calcutta you are the finest auctioneer we have ever heard and there are many real estate and country people who attend the auction.

The Cottage by the Sea Charity Home – Sold
Tuesday, 1 February 2022
On a perfect Saturday afternoon, in front of a large crowd (appropriately COVID-safe) I had the absolute pleasure to auction the Cottage by Sea Charity home which resulted in a massive final bid of $1,680,000, with the full sum being donated to Cottage by Sea.
James Gladman and the team from Fletchers who did a wonderful job marketing the home and attracting of number of potential bidders to the auction.
Congratulations to John and Christine who were the buyers and look forward to enjoying their new home with family.
The funds raised will be used towards the redevelopment of the Riptide facility to allow many more children to experience the inspiration and happiness that the Cottage promises.
A huge thanks to The Point estate developer Moremac for providing a waterfront block, Boutique Homes and their partners for building such a beautiful home.
