What is the AARE?

The AARE (Accredited Auctioneer of Real Estate) designation is an elite credential awarded by the National Auctioneers Association (NAA) to qualified real estate auctioneers. Earning this designation requires completing a 24-hour course over three days, holding valid real estate licenses, and demonstrating success through either conducting 10+ auctions or achieving $3 million in real estate auction sales.

AARE-designated auctioneers offer specialized expertise in real estate marketing, current market trends, and innovative sales technologies. As of October 2022, only 103 auctioneers held this prestigious designation. These professionals focus on expedited sales to minimize holding costs while maximizing property value through competitive bidding.

For buyers and sellers seeking efficient, transparent real estate transactions, an AARE-designated auctioneer provides valuable specialized expertise.
