Sharni is a South Otago-based auctioneer who thrives on the buzz of competition and the chance to keep raising her own bar. Auction competitions are where she gets to test herself under pressure, in the moment, with nowhere to hide. It sharpens her thinking, tightens delivery and reminds her why she is so passionate about what she does. The people, the energy and the shared passion in the room make it something pretty special to be a part of. It’s a little bit addictive – the nerves, the adrenaline, the moment it all clicks – and is the reason she keeps coming back every time.
