Lisa Yardley-Vaiese

Judge

Lisa considers it a true privilege to be a judge at this most prestigious of events. After a decade of competing and achieving some real milestones in auctioneering, Lisa has decided the time is right for her to retire, thus allowing space for others to secure their spot in the upper echelons of the NZ auctioneering landscape.

The experience and growth Lisa has gained throughout her years – both competing and in her full time role as an Auctioneer – have been life affirming and purposeful. She holds immense gratitude for her auction mentors and peers as they all have contributed to her journey. Serving this fabulous fraternity is equally as important to her and she wishes all the 2025 competitors the best of luck. Their courage to get in the auction arena is saluted and encouraged!
