There has been a significant run on property over the past three or four years. Property sold itself without the need for much advertising. However, prior to that, auctioneers had to work hard to make a sale. The motion is worthwhile as the auctioneering business has become professional. Given the volume of property that has been sold in recent times, many auctioneers have made a great deal of money. They have worked hard and the profession employs a significant number of people.
