Harry has been instrumental in my development as an auctioneer. After winning the REIV Novice Auctioneer competition, I set my sights on winning the REIV Senior Auctioneer of the year. Without Harry’s guidance I would have been swimming blindly. Harry knows the ins and outs of auction competitions, but also, how to be an effective and entertaining street auctioneer. Whether you have goals of winning state auction competitions, or you just want to fine tune your craft, there is no better choice for training.

Harry Li has matured into a Master of his craft. While auctions and auctioneering have been around for centuries, there is always room for improvement and incremental changes. Within the last dozen or so years, Harry has come from a relative minnow to not only Australasia’s best, but to now being a pioneer in all things auctioneering. Of course he has grasped the basic statutorial requirements and has always had the mathematical prowess, but now he is seen as Victoria’s talisman and benchmark Auctioneer. His ability to pass his knowledge and skills to the novices of Victoria is patently obvious and yet his mentoring of many senior callers is also particularly noteworthy. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Harry for clarity in all auction/auctioneering matters.

Harry has been an unbelievable help throughout the last 12 months training me to become a far better Auctioneer both for competition Auctions & on-site Auctions, his knowledge is second to none & always available to help fine tune & give constructive feedback.

Harry Li is an award-winning Australasian champion and undoubtedly a highly skilled expert in the field. His accomplishments are impressive, and his ability to transfer knowledge to aspiring auctioneers is equally outstanding. His expertise is unmatched, and his commitment to your success is unwavering. I can attest that his accurate criticism and constructive feedback are some of his most notable qualities. He has a way of identifying your strengths and weaknesses and tailoring his training to help you capitalize on your strengths and overcome your weaknesses. Harry’s knowledge and experience are evident in his ability to teach complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand. He is patient, dedicated, and genuinely interested in seeing his students succeed. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced auctioneer, he has the skills to help you improve and reach your goals.

Adrian Butera and Harry Li represent the pinnacle of auctioneering in Victoria. Not only are they both well accomplished in the field, they possess a passion and respect for the craft that is essential in preserving long held traditions while adapting to a fast paced and ever changing real estate landscape. It gives me great pride to credit Adrian for instilling that same passion in me. It has been his continued guidance throughout the years that has constantly pushed me to be a better auctioneer and to continually hone my skills. Both Adrian and Harry’s standing in our industry is beyond repute and I cannot think of safer hands for our craft to rest in. Their openness and willingness to share their knowledge without limit or hesitation is testament to the fact they are invested in contributing to our industry in a meaningful and positive way. I would urge any auctioneer, from novices to seasoned campaigners, to support the Auctiv initiative, it is through such collaboration lead by great people of passion and purpose such as Adrian & Harry that will ensure the future of our industry.
