"When the night of our gala fundraiser came, I was so nervous! So much was riding on our auction if Home Away was to stay strong. Our goal was to raise at least $30,000 (what we had raised the year before), but instead when Chad got up on stage, it was like magic- people opened their hearts (and checkbooks!). Chad raised over $90,000 (when you include his Raise the Paddle - cash contributions). I'm sure there are lots of auctioneers out there, but Chad has a style and intensity that is one in a million!"

"We can’t thank Chad enough for his terrific auctioneering talents that contributed to doubling our auction revenues over the prior year! He was a lot fun to work with, and has a unique talent for fast talking and keen observation skills in assessing the audience. He was able to gauge interest for an item by judging the expression on people’s faces that encouraged exciting bidding wars for popular items! Chad’s positive energy and infectious enthusiasm to help support our fundraising efforts made him an ideal choice as our auctioneer!"

"Chad Carvey is a master auctioneer. His powerful enthusiasm and ability to get a crowd excited means that crowds bid higher and higher in no time! Last year, I hired Chad as our auctioneer at my school Dinner and Auction. His auctioneering resulted in a 100% increase in bids over previous years. I highly recommend Chad !"
