"Alissa Ford is a complete pro who brings the art of auctioneering into
the 21st century. Her knowledge of the art world and extensive
experience as an auctioneer, combined with a personal style that is
elegant and classy, make her the ideal choice for high-end events."

"Our fundraiser was held over five months ago, but people are still talking about how
delighted they were with our auctioneer, Alissa Ford. Before the event, she provided
valuable guidance that helped us structure our silent and live auctions effectively. At
the event, working with a great deal of warmth and focus, Alissa quietly but persistently
challenged bidders towards higher and higher prices while reminding them of the real
reasons why they were bidding. Thanks to Alissa, our auction, held at just about the worst
point in the current financial recession, was entirely successful."

"Alissa Ford was an absolute pleasure to work with.  She provided us with
valuable advice regarding the formatting of our live auction, as well as
the 'Fund-A-Need' portion of our event.  Her services were an excellent
investment, as we saw bidding increase significantly from previous
years.  She kept the audience engaged with an energetic and confident
style."

"Alissa Ford was the auctioneer for the Crocker Art Museum’s 2010 annual Art Auction.  Her skills as an auctioneer were excellent.  She was engaging, dynamic, and able to drive up the bidding just when it was starting to slow.  We would not hesitate to ask her to be our auctioneer again and heartily recommend her."
