I have gotten nothing but positive feedback about you and your guys. You all did a great job & were so professional. I really appreciate it. I think next yearıs chair will be calling to book you again. It was a great evening & I really enjoyed working with you. It was our most profitable auction yet. Thanks for your help. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Stephen Skaggs, President of the Bank Advisory Group in Austin, TX and Chair of the Finance Committee of Austin Lyric Opera's Board of Trustees says this, "I saw what Craig Buford did for IBAT's live auction and asked him to work for the Austin Lyric Opera two years ago. Our auction was such a success that we had him back in 2006 and once again he set a record with a fast moving high energy live auction. We are convinced that securing the best auctioneer possible makes all the difference in the world. Craig Buford certainly ranks among the best, so I highly recommend him. "

Craig: What an exciting evening "Pasta on the Patio" was!!! This auction fundraiser benefiting the Studio Mid-Del, Inc. (A Creative Arts Institute) new building fund was more fun this year because of your wit and professionalism. We could not believe that you were able to raise as much money as you did. You were wonderful with the crowd and with a room that is reknown for its horrible accoustics.
