Thanks so much again for participating in our event the way you do. We set a budget of $100k between the live and silent auction and raised over $150k.

I was pleased with your staff; they were very professional. It was good that they ran everything very independently as I was busy dealing with other challenges.

Thank you and your team for all of your help!

We just wanted to send a quick THANK YOU for all of great work yesterday. The auction really was a success. It is a hard room to connect with and you really did a great job. Thank you so much!

Thank you Allen. You and your son were fantastic and made a big difference to our auction. I hope we can work together again soon!

We were very pleased with your team; Christina was terrific along with the rest of the crew.

Thank you for bringing our event up a notch with your team’s professionalism!

Thank you so much for your wonderful efforts yesterday. You both did a spectacular job, everyone was very impressed and happy with the funds raised.

We would love for you to return this year as our auctioneer… you did such a wonderful job last year – so we’d like to keep to a winning formula!

Thank you so much for all your work on Sunday! And that of your team. It was wonderful working with you! We have some pretty incredible news to share –our goal was to raise $733,000 and we raised…$850,000! The Live Auction was the most successful ever – it went off so smoothly. Everyone loved it!

You and your team have been really great to work with. Super friendly, organized and prompt response to questions. I liked the items you brought to the venue and the way it was set up –not too crowded and a nice variety. The bidding sheets were all clear and easy to read – very professional. The person who was there was also very nice and professional.

Thank you very much for all of your help. Its always a pleasure having you guys come down.

Wow, you guys are amazing to say the least. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your prompt reports and thank you for a job well-done.

You guys were awesome!

I’ve followed up with a few of our guests and vendors at the end of the night and everyone loved the items shown!

“Thank you very much for your participation in our event. We are very pleased with your services and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from those in attendance.”

Just wanted to say thank you again for helping us last week for our event. Having you and your team there really elevated the entire evening. I wanted to let you know that over the course of the evening we raised $18,500 in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada and the James Lee Foundation (Vancouver).

“Thank YOU very much for offering such an exciting Silent and Live Auction! I’ve only attended 1 auction before & yours by far was very organized. We received positive feedback about the organization & display of items. The items offered were plenty & varied to all tastes.
You made it appear seamless which was fantastic.
Overall, I thought it was great and I appreciate all your efforts.
It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you next year!”

Auctioneers Fundraising Group International – Leading the Way on Internet and Mobile Auctions in the Toronto Region and Beyond

Technology is constantly changing how we do a lot of things. The auction world is no different. At Auctioneers Fundraising Group International (AFGI) we embrace how modern technology can make the auction experience more innovative and engaging.

We’ve been conducting and organizing auctions throughout the Toronto region and beyond for over 40 years. Over the years we’ve seen a lot of things change, and technology has been the biggest game-changer. Forty years ago, it was impossible to predict how many doors the Internet and mobile devices would open for silent charity and fundraising auctions. We take a lot of pride in our ability to learn from our clients and take their feedback and adapt. We’ve earned a reputation for being a pioneer in offering live and online and mobile bidding for fundraising events.

Our technology is built with the bidder in mind. Being an auction company has allowed us to truly understand the auction process, this insight has given us an advantage over high-tech companies that only develop software. Over the last decade, we’ve been constantly tweaking and measuring our online auction and mobile auction solutions.

Online auctions (including A Silent Auction) allow your group to instantly expand the audience and reach of your charity auction. It’s really is the best of both worlds; your event will have the excitement of a live auction with the convenience of an online auction platform. Attendees of your live auction event will be more prepared and educated on the items you’re auctioning due to their ability to view descriptions, images, and video of the items in advance. Online bidding also increases the momentum of a live auction by increasing the amount of bidding. Opening up your auction to the Internet is a very affordable way to drum up more action and increase the revenue generated at your charity auction.

We launched a mobile application last year and our clients have enjoyed its impact. It seems that almost everyone has a mobile device on their person at all times. Having a mobile auction platform really brings connection and engagement to the next level, allowing people to bid on items from literally anywhere. Our mobile application is built to run quickly, it’s user-friendly and works on any Apple or Android device.

Online auctions allow your group the ability to maximize your charity auction’s bidding activity by putting your inventory in the palms of your audience. Making your auction digital and mobile encourages people to share your auction information and items with friends and family. Our online auction tool features a full e-commerce solution, allowing successful bidders the ability to instantly pay for the items they purchase. It’s important to properly manage your auction, that’s why you and your group have the ability to easily view the results of your online auction.

From local high school charity auctions to large black tie galas; our online and mobile auction platform has taken many auctions to the next level. Our Internet and mobile auction software are built by experienced auctioneers with the goal of simplifying all elements of your charity auction. More importantly, we create a fun and exciting digital experience for your silent charity auction.
