About The Position

The Associate Auction Coordinator represents Auction.com at live real estate auctions, traditionally held on courthouse steps. The role involves conducting, co-hosting, and participating in auctions; interacting with bidders; completing the tasks and processes needed to support successful events; and educating customers about how to participate in auctions. The position is centered around Houston, Texas, with travel to auctions in surrounding areas, usually requiring drives of up to 2–4 hours.
