Clarence White Auctioneer Testimonials
"Clarence never misses a beat strategically and consistently delivers a smooth, sophisticated call that represents our clients and our brand to the highest standard possible. His ability to read the auction floor with clarity and to intuitively understand what needs to be done at key moments in an auction is impressive. Importantly, Clarence brings real negotiation power to the table. His work with buyers and sellers both on and off the auction floor is outstanding. His contribution in getting deals over the line goes well beyond just calling the auction and well beyond what most auctioneers are willing or capable of doing.”
Alexander Phillips - Phillips Pantzer Donnelley
“Not only is his technique faultless but his audience empathy and ability to read people and respond accordingly is outstanding. Watching Clarence in action you immediately get the impression of someone who is at the top of their game and someone who has honed their skills through countless auctions and countless hours of practice. Without a doubt Clarence is one of the most professional auctioneers in the industry and one of the best I have ever seen.”

Dib Chidiac - Dib Chidiac Real Estate
"Clarence is polished, professional and personable in his approach and style and the awards and accolades he has received in his career are well deserved. In a competitive field of auctioneers, Clarence certainly stands out and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough."
Debbie Donnelley - Phillips Pantzer Donnelley
“Clarence’s ability to read the auction floor is unsurpassed. He understands the signals buyers emit and knows exactly when to push, when to allow time and when to use humour to diffuse the tension. He is a consummate professional who brings a lot more to the table than just calling the auction. He has an in-depth understanding of the sales process and is very effective in conversations with buyers and vendors. Clarence was an integral ingredient in building our auction business and market share over a number of years while we were part of the McGrath network and when we stepped out independently he was our first choice auctioneer. “

“This legend is one of the best auctioneers in NSW. His call is consistently of the highest caliber: crisp, engaging and professional. His polish and finesse provide the perfect compliment for our higher-end properties in the $2m+ price bracket. He rings me without fail the day before the auction to understand the scenario and devise a strategy; he is always on-hand and on-point for conversations with buyers and vendors before, during and after the auction; and I love that he is hungry and never satisfied to sell until we have every last dollar.“

“In 2020 I was fortunate enough to have had Clarence White conduct all my auctions. He achieved 100% clearance rate. An amazing achievement considering some of the scenarios he was presented with. I don't know of any other auctioneer who would have been able to get many of them sold. He's a gifted communicator that has the rare ability to ask some tough questions in a non confrontational manner. His reputation as the best in the business is well deserved.”

“I worked with Clarence White for several years, he is a great auctioneer with strong presence and a very professional yet approachable style. Outside of the auction he was fantastic in dealing with both vendors and buyers alike.

In summary he is a great auctioneer and a good guy with a great attitude.”
