Charlie Powell

Auctioneer

With over two decades of auctioneering under his belt, Charlie Powell brings unmatched experience, sharp instincts, and a calm confidence to every auction he calls. Since stepping onto the auction floor in 2005, Charlie has conducted thousands of auctions across Sydney’s Inner West, Eastern Suburbs and Lower North Shore and is consistently securing results that exceed expectations.

Described by one agent as “the iron fist in the velvet glove,” Charlie has a reputation for his strong yet personable delivery. He’s a trusted voice of authority on auction day, skilfully reading the room, managing buyer emotions, and elevating momentum to extract the best possible price setting him apart from the rest.

Charlie’s value lies not only in his experience but in his relatability. His diverse background and broad life experience enable him to connect with people from all walks of life. Whether it’s first-home buyers, seasoned investors, or high-end sellers, Charlie brings warmth, wit, and a tailored approach to every campaign.

A natural communicator and seasoned performer, Charlie thrives under pressure and knows how to keep things moving, even when the bidding stalls. Yes, he even once won Hey hey It’s Saturday’s Red faces and the Grand Final of Australia’s Funniest People on national television. With auctions ranging from two minutes to over an hour long, he understands that every situation is different and knows how to steer each one toward a successful outcome.

As Charlie puts it, “You can’t put a price on experience.”
