A boutique auctioneering agency representing best in class charity auctioneers

With over two decades at the podium and more than a billion dollars raised for nonprofits across the US, Europe, and the Middle East, Lydia Fenet is the gold standard in charity auctioneering. Named by the Today Show as the world’s leading charity auctioneer, she takes more than 70 auctions a year and has headlined the most successful fundraising events in the world including Robin Hood, the Naples Winter Wine Festival, Tipping Point, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

During her 24-year career at Christie’s, Lydia trained twelve classes of charity auctioneers, establishing herself as the leading authority in identifying and developing top talent for the auction stage. Building on that expertise, Lydia founded the Lydia Fenet Agency (LFA), representing thirteen hand-selected auctioneers based in the US and UK. Each auctioneer is personally trained by Lydia and brings a unique mix of style, experience, and skill set ensuring nonprofits of every size find the perfect partner for their event. From high-profile galas to intimate community fundraisers, LFA provides not only an auctioneer but a full-service fundraising partner: advising on strategy, curating lot order, and integrating the best fundraising technologies to maximize results.
