The stars aligned and were definitely in our favor! We were relentlessly searching for an amazing auctioneer for our huge biennial school fundraiser -- first one post-Covid -- and the stakes were high to bring the community back together and raise money during a time when people aren't so much opening their wallets. Howard and his staff worked with us from start to finish and were AMAZING. We cannot thank them enough for exceeding our expectations and for helping us make our event a knock-out success! Everyone raved about the event and how awesome the Auctioneer was. Thank you Howie and everyone at GSM! Seamless from start to finish. 'Til our next event in 2 years!

Howie is a seasoned auctioneer who treats all of his clients like family. He’s very professional and made sure everybody was having a great time while ensuring that they leave the event with a memorable experience. I will continue to work with him, Dan and his team as we have many events that he can provide assistance with.

By far, Howie is one of the best auctioneers in the business. He is very energetic and knows how to work a room with professionalism and humor making guests feel comfortable while donating to a meaningful charity. I have already recommended him and his organization GSM Charity Auction to a few others who are in need of raising funds for their nonprofit organization. I'm beyond grateful for a successful night thanks to Howie. Bravo!

Don't even know where to start, but all we have to say is wow. We were blown away by GSM. Their live auctioneer was one of the best we have ever seen - both at auction and our mission moment - and we raised a record amount of money with them. Using GigMasters to book Howard was easily one of our all-time greatest finds and we've used our fair share of auctioneers over the years. We also utilized some of their incredible auction items and guests loved the mix of their unique experiences, memorabilia, and jewelry. We've already told them we'll be in touch once our date is set for next year! Thanks again Howard, Dan and the GSM team!

We found ourselves in a tough situation, looking for an auctioneer after our longtime auctioneer realized he was double-booked shortly before our event. Through GigMasters, we found Howard Schwartz and GSM. All I can say is, WOW. Be prepared to be blown away. We raised a record amount of money with their items, expertise, and unbelievable auctioneering. Unlike our old auctioneer, Howard was animated, energetic, and funny, and keep the crowd interested and bidding. As if that wasn't enough, he then conducted a fund-a-need which was easily THE GREATEST we ever had. His ability to process numbers on the fly was like nothing we've ever seen before. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
