The trophies keep piling up for mother-daughter auctioneer duo Beth Rose and Sara Rose Bytnar.
The latest: Naples resident Rose Bytnar recently won the Women's National Auctioneers Association 30th Annual International Auctioneer Championship, held in Columbus, Ohio. Last year's winner, of the same event, was Beth Rose, who edged her daughter by one-tenth of point.
This year's championship started with 20 people. There was a preliminary bid-calling round, an interview round and a final round of bid-calling that included seven women. Rose Bytnar, 31, received a $5,000 cash award, trophy and championship ring. As part of her responsibilities as auction champion, Rose Bytnar will travel to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis later this year to conduct the annual NAA Toy Auction for patients and their siblings.
“I am honored to have won the auctioneer championship and be recognized by the world's largest association dedicated to auction professionals,” Rose Bytnar says in a statement. “My involvement with the NAA has provided an opportunity to network with the best auction professionals in the business and the educational opportunities to keep me at the top of my field.”
Mom and daughter have played catch with auction industry championship trophies before: Rose Bytnar won the Florida auctioneer championship in 2014 and Rose took the same crown in 2015. Both women have been runners-up in the past at the global event.
Rose Bytnar focuses on luxury home, commercial property and golf course real estate auctions in Ohio, Michigan and Florida for her family's business, Beth Rose Real Estate and Auctions. A third-generation auctioneer, Rose Bytnar has three aunts who are also in the business.
